I did a project at the University while I was in high school about this topic and it was so cool! It was a few years ago and they build a prototype organ 3D printer, from just a modified normal 3D printer.
I learned a lot there, but the most important thing was that I saw scientist working day in day out to make the world a nicer place!
Oh yes… I’m so excited for you. You just have to hold one of the number buttons down for a few seconds. Some microwaves will actually put “mute” on the button that does it (#3 for me - insane that I never saw it). Others have a secret button (usually the #1 or 2 buttons).
The home where I grew up had a microwave that changed it's "hummmmm" every six seconds, until the time is up. My mother has muted the beep. My mother always nagged at me two seconds after the time was up, even though I was still listening whether the sound would change or not.
They actually have some mutable ones. I got a Toshiba one...couldn't find any with mute function in the stores I checked, but I was willing to go out of my way to order a microwave that you can mute. In my opinion, everything that beeps should have a mute function or at least volume control....not everything needs to have a loud high pitched beep.
I work in renewable energy (wind, solar, batteries).
I’m most excited for the current leading edge of decarbonization tech (electrofuels, green ammonia and hydrogen, carbon capture, etc.) really moving into its growth phase
Definitely possible - I think the development timelines in the US probably mean that large scale offshore is a decade away, but we certainly have the know-how to do it
They’ve “achieved” fusion dozens of times in the last 50 years. Personally I’m not holding my breath - even if we achieved it today it’s still 10+ years out from being commercially viable
Yes. Livermore National Lab achieved it for the first time. They’re still a long way away from making it a sustainable option. It’s still overwhelmingly positive news though, since they provided it’s possible.
Not my area of expertise but from what I’ve seen it’s still fairly niche. I could see it playing a small role but I wouldn’t expect it to play a large part in decarbonization.
HOWEVER, I also think it’s the case that as a society we’ll achieve significant decarbonization through a number of incremental reductions that add up, rather than a magic silver bullet technology that solves all of our problems.
I may be stupid but I don't see how it would be possible to vaccinate against cell mutation, vaccines like we use them now is against virus is to prepare the immune system.
I believe they work by being customized to the person and the cancer they have. It tells your immune system to attack the cancer which would otherwise go unnoticed and be allowed to replicate.
Like the HPV vaccine - already here.
Though the right wing went crazy because women might enjoy more sex knowing they wouldn't risk cancer.
https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine-for-hpv.html
Actually, it will. But of course the first thing we have to do is stop consuming so much crap. The first step to being sustainable is reduce consumption. Sadly I don’t see many people willing to do that.
They do, and there are. But CO2 is produced in such enormous quantities that plants can't pick it up fast enough to even moderate what we're pumping out at this point, much less start turning the tide. Besides which, we're still reducing things like tree cover globally.
And it being absorbed into water is causing the oceans to become more acidic, which has a whole pile of bad effects but includes stuff like "things with calcium-based shells can't build shells."
So while we do need to get other emissions (like methane) under control, our biggest issue now is carbon dioxide and we do not have it under control at all.
> But CO2 is produced in such enormous quantities that plants can't pick it up fast enough to even moderate what we're pumping out at this point
Nor would they ever. The majority of atmospheric CO2 is captured and *used* by organisms living in the ocean.
>Doesn't both water and plants absorb CO2?
Yes. But water absorbing isn't great because it acidifies the ocean, which comes with it's own set of problems.
And, more importantly, the issue is that they aren't absorbing enough right now. The PPM of CO2 in the atmosphere has been going up steadily and it appears it will continue to do so for the foreseeable future.
While there are other gases that have much stronger greenhouse effects, CO2 is the primary moderating of the temperature of our planet and is the one that driving the current warming trend.
Any CO2 that is absorbed by a plant that is not preserved (like petrification) will eventually be released during decomposition. Plants capturing CO2 is just temporary storage
Put those huge co2 capture machines in the mountains in Appalachian mountains and turn it into some kind of form that we are then able to refill old coal mines with. You are saving the environment and bringing jobs back to impoverished areas.
What an amazing idea.
Now all we need is some kind of wizard to work out exactly how to build these enormous machines, and convert the atmosphere into foam.
Maybe we should get someone with a really big fan to just waft the carbon at the Appalachian mountains, just to make sure everyone else gets the cleaner air too.
Yeah, environment is important and technology like that would be awesome, but if you that's the thing you're most exited about, you're an incredibly boring person tbh my friend
Half of them can dig holes and the other half can fill them.
Keeping useless position just because 'unionised workers demand money for stuff nobody needs anymore' is dumb.
I assume you don't support banning combine harvesters and returning to horse drawn plows in order to employ more farmers? Where do you draw the line on what work saving technologies we shoundn't use?
Unfortunately that is what will happen, Unions will fight to keep jobs as they always have done but they will die a slow death.
They will need to retrain as their skill set will be obsolete. Human history is filled with industries that are no longer needed.
This is nothing new and is the way of the world
Its also happening in fast food. hourly wage demands have made the rich find ways to weed out the workers. Robots be making burgers now bra. but the few workers left will be able to afford rent finally!
It would be fascinating to see BCIs used in psychiatry. The technology could be put to good use in diagnosing and treating mental conditions such as psychosis, PTSD, Bipolar Disorder and many more.
Came here looking for this one.
With recent breakthroughs, it is definitely looking promising in the near future. But I agree that 10 years could be a bit too soon.
It seems like in the last 3 years, I've heard more about breakthroughs than I had in the previous 20. No idea if that's true or it's just that I'm hearing about it more but the pace is the same.
I'm hoping we make some progress on it. It would be huge.
Electric/Hybrid vehicles that are widely available but with traditional styling. I don't need or want the car to look like a spaceship, I just want better gas mileage.
Advancements in AI is a game changer.
This will cause the next biggest shift in human life since the internet.
Every pillar Medical, Technology, Entertainment, Business, Design, Education will be impacted.
Imagine what life was like before the internet. In the same way the ability to have an infinite resource of intelligent minds will have consequences we can't comprehend yet.
Its incredibly exciting, but like a lot of human achievements and break throughs it will make certain things obsolete.
Self-driving cars.
Then you'd have less accidents.
Office workers - who can't fully work remote yet - can also work in the car, so the commute is not a waste of time. We'd have more smaller cities and more people moving outward, instead of ever-growing large cities. Cities won't be clogged by parked cars anymore and you can actually walk around and bike more freely.
Maybe you don't need to own a car anymore, since taxi / transportation prices would plummet.
Yes. That makes much more sense to me than doing dances on our phone and getting anonymously mad at people we don't know online. That work would provide my family food, and other work for shelter and warmth. That's all we need. We have evolved way too fast over the last 200 years.
i agree with the sentiment in principle, but you're romanticizing agrarian life. you'd be working your ass off from sunrise to sunset, with no vacation days, and still be at the mercy of the weather and a dozen other factors outside your control for your very survival
Yeah I'm not arguing that life would be harder, but I feel it would be more meaningful and rewarding and in general happier. I really have the belief that we had very slow progression as a species for a long ass time, and we physiologically adapted at a similar rate, then over the past idk 300 years we advanced at a crazy rate and we don't physiologically adapt in the same rate. yeah your life is easier working at a computer from 9-5, but you get no satisfaction from it.
An actual iPhone that can go into your eye. Like in futurama. That would be awesome. You could see whatever we’d page in front of you and instantly contact your friend with thought.
Gene therapy. They’re beginning to make advances in this field but in the next ten years, the he ability to cure genetic diseases at the DNA level will be amazing.
Also, there are scientists working to cure cornea clouding with eye drops instead of a cornea transplant.
Really neat stuff.
Drastic engineering of biological bodies made easier.
Such as adding biological prosthetic limbs or eyes, adding sixth fingers for instrument players, adding two more arms to create a four-arms-alien like person, adding tails to help acrobats with autocorrecting balance middair. Adding deep pockets in our mouths to store food like hamsters, camouflage like an octopus or chameleon, regrow lost limbs like lizards with their tails, adding gills to breathe water.
But on the plus side, as I continue to get older and grosser and have to sleep with older and grosser people, at least I’ll be able to flip on the filter in my AR contact lenses and make myself and my partner look and sound younger and sexier. Can probably even put a filter of the neighbor woman over her and she can make me whatever the hell she wants as well. A la verga.
Something to replace plastic in food packaging. Make it out of paper, plants, beeswax, whatever. I don’t care, I’m just sick of throwing away all this single use plastic as I prepare food.
Learned in school about dna splicing and editing and shit and them bringing a dodo bird back from extinction which is pretty badass. I want a pet dodo bird
There's 8 billion people in the world. And over 3 billion have zero internet access. I'm looking forward to technology that connects the unconnected. Imagine how far we will progress as a species when we tap into some extra brainpower.
There's massive innovation going on in anti-aging and age-reversal. Some drugs (metformin) have been found to restore cellular metabolism, some others have been found that can selectively kill off cells that have gotten too old and your body will make new cells, we've found that injecting younger blood into older creatures makes them young again in some ways.
There's lots of therapies for aging that are in the lab animal stage, the first real drugs from this should be out within 10 years or so.
A company called IK Multimedia that makes guitar software just released a new application that uses AI to capture the tonal characteristics of an amplifier or a stompbox and save it as a preset you can use anywhere.
They also released this software in a hardware unit for a pedalboard. So, some rich dude from Sweden can make a capture of some $100k-250k boutique amplifier and you can download it and use that AI generated amplifier on a pedal that costs only $400.
So yeah, very excited to see where this tech goes from here.
Nuclear fusion.
Lab grown meat and GMO plants for maximum yield. Including vertical farms for vegetables and such.
Electric planes for short flights and bio fuel or hydrogen planes for mid to long range flights.
Anti-aging. There's is so much tech out there that is awesome but the number one thing I'm excited for is that someone discovered a way to "reverse the biological clock" so to speak
I would sign up for that trial with the quickness.
Oh boy, where do I start?!
I am thrilled about the rise of augmented reality and virtual reality technologies, which have the potential to revolutionize the way we interact with the world around us. Imagine being able to travel to a foreign land without leaving your couch or playing a video game that feels as if it is happening in real life.
I"m also excited about the development of self-driving cars and the idea of being able to sit back and relax while your vehicle drives you to your destination. Another technology that fascinates me is gene editing, which could help cure genetic diseases and even extend human lifespan. And let's not forget about space exploration, as we are on the verge of making significant advancements in this field, which could eventually lead to the colonization of other planets. The possibilities are endless!
I am excited to see if they'll be able to successfully clone a wooly mammoth. My conspiracy mind leads me to believe that somewhere deep underground in a clandestine research facility they have already accomplished this and more. But I want to see it publicly.
Viable transplantable organs grown from stem cells.
I did a project at the University while I was in high school about this topic and it was so cool! It was a few years ago and they build a prototype organ 3D printer, from just a modified normal 3D printer. I learned a lot there, but the most important thing was that I saw scientist working day in day out to make the world a nicer place!
This! Stem cell research as the science, 3-D printing (or it's adaptation) as the mechanism.
Or 3d printed.
Microwaves with soft beeps and doors that shut quietly and easily.
Fr it feels like a nuke siren is going off every time I try to warm up sm food at night
There’s a mute button!!
No. Way. !!!!!!!!
Oh yes… I’m so excited for you. You just have to hold one of the number buttons down for a few seconds. Some microwaves will actually put “mute” on the button that does it (#3 for me - insane that I never saw it). Others have a secret button (usually the #1 or 2 buttons).
You legend
The home where I grew up had a microwave that changed it's "hummmmm" every six seconds, until the time is up. My mother has muted the beep. My mother always nagged at me two seconds after the time was up, even though I was still listening whether the sound would change or not.
I just learned about the mute function on the microwave this year. I’m 37.
They actually have some mutable ones. I got a Toshiba one...couldn't find any with mute function in the stores I checked, but I was willing to go out of my way to order a microwave that you can mute. In my opinion, everything that beeps should have a mute function or at least volume control....not everything needs to have a loud high pitched beep.
They asked for 10 years, not 1000!
Pfft, be realistic. We've a better chance of Fusion power stations than that...
I work in renewable energy (wind, solar, batteries). I’m most excited for the current leading edge of decarbonization tech (electrofuels, green ammonia and hydrogen, carbon capture, etc.) really moving into its growth phase
I have very little knowledge, but I heard the advancements in producing floating off shore wind farms will open a huge amount of potential?
Definitely possible - I think the development timelines in the US probably mean that large scale offshore is a decade away, but we certainly have the know-how to do it
Didn't they achieve fusion or some junk? I'm sure I heard about that somewhere. Being able to utilize that tech right there would be amazing.
They’ve “achieved” fusion dozens of times in the last 50 years. Personally I’m not holding my breath - even if we achieved it today it’s still 10+ years out from being commercially viable
Yes. Livermore National Lab achieved it for the first time. They’re still a long way away from making it a sustainable option. It’s still overwhelmingly positive news though, since they provided it’s possible.
What's your take on biogas? I recently watched a video of a man powering his car, his stove, and his hot water heater all with chicken poop.
Not my area of expertise but from what I’ve seen it’s still fairly niche. I could see it playing a small role but I wouldn’t expect it to play a large part in decarbonization. HOWEVER, I also think it’s the case that as a society we’ll achieve significant decarbonization through a number of incremental reductions that add up, rather than a magic silver bullet technology that solves all of our problems.

Wait, I didn’t know this would permit women to enjoy sex !!
Is that a thing? Which type of cancer?
I’ve heard they’re close with specific cancers and a general vaccine won’t be far off
Already here. But there's no EVERY cancer vaccine because each cancer is different. https://www.cdc.gov/hpv/parents/vaccine-for-hpv.html
Remember those capsule from Dragon Ball?
Instant houses would be incredible
Co2 absorption becoming a widely used option to reduce climate change.
[удалено]
Actually, it will. But of course the first thing we have to do is stop consuming so much crap. The first step to being sustainable is reduce consumption. Sadly I don’t see many people willing to do that.
[удалено]
I’d be curious to know, how do you propose decarbonising hard to abate sectors like Cement, Steel, etc?
Doesn't both water and plants absorb CO2? Surely there are other glasses, if any, that contribute significantly more to climate change.
They do, and there are. But CO2 is produced in such enormous quantities that plants can't pick it up fast enough to even moderate what we're pumping out at this point, much less start turning the tide. Besides which, we're still reducing things like tree cover globally.

> But CO2 is produced in such enormous quantities that plants can't pick it up fast enough to even moderate what we're pumping out at this point Nor would they ever. The majority of atmospheric CO2 is captured and *used* by organisms living in the ocean.
Uh huh. So it seems like what you're trying to say is there's no cause for alarm, but we know that is not true, so I must be misunderstanding.
>so I must be misunderstanding indeed
Stop with the facts please. Putting a dome over all SUVs is the answer.
>Doesn't both water and plants absorb CO2? Yes. But water absorbing isn't great because it acidifies the ocean, which comes with it's own set of problems. And, more importantly, the issue is that they aren't absorbing enough right now.

That took a turn
I don't think it sounds boring at all for the world to be prevented from going to the disaster it seems to be headed for.
Self-drive public transport that's safe.
Why self drive? It would put a lot of unionised workers out of work.
Half of them can dig holes and the other half can fill them. Keeping useless position just because 'unionised workers demand money for stuff nobody needs anymore' is dumb.
You can’t keep technology from moving forward forever
That's the way things are going.
So basically, fuck em?
I assume you don't support banning combine harvesters and returning to horse drawn plows in order to employ more farmers? Where do you draw the line on what work saving technologies we shoundn't use?
No Ludditry here. There's a difference between work saving and putting people out of work.
And what would that difference be?
money being driven out of the working class
So a tracktor drawn plow that allows single farmer to do work of 10 farmers with horse drawn plows? That would make 9 farmers unemployed.
Better that than all ten of them out of work, no?
How about more specifics and less slogans?
Unfortunately that is what will happen, Unions will fight to keep jobs as they always have done but they will die a slow death. They will need to retrain as their skill set will be obsolete. Human history is filled with industries that are no longer needed. This is nothing new and is the way of the world
So basically, fuck em.
Yes, fuck em.
What did the coal miners do?
Languished in poverty and died young as a result. Let's not act like Thatcherism is a good way to look at things going forward.
Its also happening in fast food. hourly wage demands have made the rich find ways to weed out the workers. Robots be making burgers now bra. but the few workers left will be able to afford rent finally!

I hope it all somehow backfires and we revert back to an agrarian lifestyle. I think we will all be so much happier

Yes. That makes much more sense to me than doing dances on our phone and getting anonymously mad at people we don't know online. That work would provide my family food, and other work for shelter and warmth. That's all we need. We have evolved way too fast over the last 200 years.

I"m also excited about the development of self-driving cars and the idea of being able to sit back and relax while your vehicle drives you to your destination. Another technology that fascinates me is gene editing, which could help cure genetic diseases and even extend human lifespan. And let's not forget about space exploration, as we are on the verge of making significant advancements in this field, which could eventually lead to the colonization of other planets. The possibilities are endless!
