It feels like the future has arrived quite suddenly

That's all very nice but where the lightsabres we were promised?

John Connor enters the chat…

Or even to Dublin airport? (It doesn't have to be undersea.😉 )

Get over yourselves. The future hasnt arrived until you can beam from one place to another star trek style.

What you fail to take into account is that cats are advancing their own technology at a faster pace than we are.

Don't forget large scale environmental/ecological destruction, real global warming and Waterworld...

@OP Well done. You just picked 5 things that are no way widely availible yet. No drones delivery where I live unless you calling the drivers of Amazon vans or DHL vans etc drones.

No AI either or self driving cars or quantum computing or definitely no spaceport in Dublin yet that I know of because it certainly would not be in the county I live in.

I just want transporters to be a thing so the people who want to drive can drive and does who do not can just beam to work or play. Not going to happen tomorrow do or maybe not even in the next 50 or 100 years. So we will never see that or a lot if the other things you mention either unfortunately. Sorry to put a dampener on your thread but Humans are slow to change.

AI is here and it’s shaking its booty. I use it in work (legal tech), it’s integrated into platforms I use, and I’m seeing it take over from real life hoooomans. And I’m not talking about asking Chat GPT to lend a land writing an email - although that can be handy too.

I’m amazed, excited, and a little bit overwhelmed at how quickly things are changing in my tech sphere in the last years. It’s legitimately life changing (for the better for me so far), and I’m only seeing the changes come thicker and faster.
