Virtual Reality will definitely be the next internet, probably when we're dead though.
we were supposed to have flying cars ten years ago

If you make it so you live to see 2060-2070 they might be able to upload you into a computer before you die.

>impregnation of egyptian goddesses such as your pic
>He thinks his visions of 80 years from now will be the same as what people though 80 years ago about flying cars and automated everything
Gooby please. In 80 years well still see petrol cars and maybe a 50% adoption of electric vehicles. We'll see drones delivering small packages and the death of the mailman. We'll see more robots delivering food on sidewalks and we'll see more people using public transportation because of high costs of living as a result of reduced labor forces.
Live in 80 years in probably going to be miserable with no value in life other than materialistic obsession. Which is why Ready Player One was such a good movie because it touches on just how bad life is getting and could be, while offering what virtual reality could become. I'm not suggesting the next big movie is our reality. I'm simply saying you're wrong the movie had a good idea of how it will be.
Bentley Foster
80 years from now we'll be lucky if there are any major Western countries remaining.
I'm surprised that I haven't seen anyone try to market AR wallpaper to rich people. Just slap a bunch of hd screens in the walls and show some nice scenery.
Aiden Brown
Your predictions assume people in the future will have the same drive and ambitions as we have today, but as life becomes more pointless and harder human progress will stagnate because there will be no incentive to stress yourself working on things.
Jacob Brown
>virtual reality simulations where we'll be able to walk about throughout Ancient Egypt & Rome, historical events >Climbing Mt Everest and all that Available now as 3D video, and more to come soon. Perhaps video -> walkabout 3D simulation conversion will be automated.
>Walking around in a local walmart and buy your shit from your couch (that'll probably be shipped to your house through a series of networked tubes or something) They tried 3D virtual stores in the 1990s. It didn't work. Turned out that 2D > 3D for shopping, too. Long pneumatic tubes have problems. Same-day grocery delivery to the door already exists in some densely populated cities.
>legit virtually 'drive' in a very real-time way across the nation Google Maps can do this to a certain extent. It will probably become a lot more realistic within 10-20 years.
>hangout with friends, or anyone across the globe VRchat.
>Virtual Reality will definitely be the next internet, probably when we're dead though. No, VR is actually kind of lame. You can't see the real world and you bump into things. Augmented reality will change the world. But tell me this, OP, did you deliberately write about the past's predictions for the future?
Michael Cruz
What a limited imagination you have, user. 80 years from now RPG games will be smart enough to dynamically react to the players. That means that you can say what you would really say, and make the choices that you would really make without any limitations. The game will dynamically react and build out tailor fitting quests based on those types of decisions. Imagine playing Skyrim without being limited speech options, but being able to say anything and the game responding realistically, including tailoring or even creating new quests as a result. That is just one huge difference that I can think of
James Ortiz
The future might include more medicating than we have now. Plop a VR headset on someone and shoot them full of dopamine and serotonin (not possible now, might be an induction process) for 80 years and harvest the body heat a la The Matrix.
Cameron Bailey
80 years from now I'll still be shitposting here so who cares

80 years from now the US and EU will all be majority non-white, and inevitably turn into socialist shitholes and/or caliphates.

Seems ok I guess, it's like a weird hybrid between a dystopian future film, and an optimistic future film
Cooper Jenkins
Why does everyone think driverless cars will take over? People like driving their own cars, especially if it's from a luxury manufacturer to flaunt that badge Sure the ICE might become a novelty, but even with electric cars, outside of Tesla dick riders, people like flooring it and feeling that instant torque
Not to mention AI will need to develop beyond humans just to handle something like sudden whiteout conditions while driving on a highway in the winter And there's always the question of liability
Dylan Cooper
Oh yeah, and a global Google marketing AI will be everybody's friend and assistant, and be included on all smartphones, and appliances, computers will probably become niche and die once video game streaming finally becomes stable, and workstations will follow suit with home networks connected to larger computer networks

William Brown
sound nightmareish to me. I'm not disabled, I don't need fucking virtual reality for everything in my life.
Xavier Watson
Your neurons die and get replaced all the time, yet no-one argues that you die every time X neurons get replaced. I don't see why you couldn't transform a biological brain into an artifical one neuron-by-neuron without "killing" the original one in the process.
Nolan Rivera

Jayden Thomas
That way would be the only acceptable way to do it. I was talking about the computer upload method.
Christopher Sanchez
If you replicated every neuron with an inorganic neuron that emulated existing one 1/1 you'd probably just end up with a durable hard to damage, quick to heal brain I don't know how it'd transfer into larger networks it's already connected to though, since it'd still process your conscience
Ethan Sullivan
by that time all the npcs will be a shade of brown anyway :^)
By your logic, every clone you make of yourself is literally you. Meaning you will be able control the consciousness of an infinite amount of (You)s. Unless you're somehow able toactually transfer your brain to a hard drive or something, not copy it, this might be possible. Seems like an absurd concept to me and many others.
Jose Collins
Continuous decline genetically, socially and culturally. The average person in 2100 will probably be barely sapient. The only intelligent people left being the ruling elite.
John Gray
Its almost like the racists have a point
Grayson Johnson
It's like you haven't even read my post. The idea is that you replace your brain cells one by one so your consciousness never gets interrupted. Obviously, you couldn't create more than one of you this way because you only have one brain to replace.
Kayden Cruz
>Hate speech laws are a thing That's already true in parts of Europe. Look up Netzwerkdurchsetzungsgesetz. It's disguised as a anti-fake news law, which even if that was the cause, it's not something that should exist.

We have the technology. It's just impractical.
Joseph White
As long as the internet remains as it is, people can publish whatever apps and games they want anonymously.
Jason Foster
Yeah, sure. 50 years ago people were promised flying cars. Instead we got endless war, debt slavery, and the media chasing after kids for making the wrong facial expression. If you think we aren't living in 1984 there's no saving you, you pitiful, helpless retard.
>>virtual reality simulations where we'll be able to walk about throughout Ancient Egypt & Rome, historical events Movies basically do this it will just be slightly more immersive.
>>Walking around in a local walmart and buy your shit from your couch (that'll probably be shipped to your house through a series of networked tubes or something) Why the fuck would you want to walk through a virtual Wal-Mart? It would make online shopping less convenient then it is.
>>Climbing Mt Everest and all that Same thing as the historical events.
>>legit virtually 'drive' in a very real-time way across the nation You can already do this in video games. And what's so exciting about it anyway?
>>hangout with friends, or anyone across the globe You can already do that? How is talking to a chungus avatar better then just video chat?
>Virtual Reality will definitely be the next internet, probably when we're dead though. No it won't. All of the things you listed are gimmicks at best and don't actually add anything.
Juan Fisher
I don't understand how anyone could be this desensitized. VR, even in its current gen, is absolutely amazing. I've had my headset for over a year and it's still the shit.
Chase Gray
Well actually, I am going to kill myself tonight, so I won't know, will i?
Thomas Martin
>People like driving their own cars A lot of people enjoy driving for pleasure, sure. It was one of the original reasons to own the automobile. However, few people find commuting in stop-and-go traffic pleasurable. These people will be the ones using self-driving cars. They won't necessarily buy self-driving cars. That is more likely is that self-driving cars will replace taxis, and it will be the norm to get around using taxis rather than your own car.
No I get that it's very fun. But saying it's the "next internet" is just retarded. It doesn't solve any problems. It's just a cool toy.
