The human body is shit. We've always known this, so we make technology to keep ourselves alive and comfortable. Genemodding and implants are just the next step in a long history if integrating closer and closer with our tech.

>>61262029

>>61262029
High efficiency perovskite glass panels. We're finally nearing mass production of 30% efficient solar solutions that actually reach those figures outside of ridiculous lab settings.
Sugar fuel cells would be pretty awesome if they ever hit the consumer market.
Lowcost IR sensors are making night/thermal vision cheaper and more accessible than ever. A few cars on the market have systems for detecting animals at night, deer crashes being a major problem in much of the US, and that is going to eventually filter down to the cheapest economy cars around, just like BLIS is currently doing now.
Nanogenerators could power a lot of things through body heat and movement, enough to power devices like phones.
Phone screens capable of producing 3D holograms have been made, and are maybe a couple years out from the market.

Tons of cool things on the horizon. Industry never stops advancing.

>human body
>good

The human body is filled with a metric fuckload of useless shit not erased because it is more energy intense than it is worth.
There is only one known thing on this planet that has erased junk DNA, and it is a plant. We still have no clue why.

So many things left in our DNA over the millions of years, hell, BILLIONs of years life has been evolving, they cause all kinds of illness from cancer to autoimmune when exposed to the right triggers.
The right triggers can be the flu or some harmless bacterial infection.
Case in point, HPV causing cancer infections.

The whole "junk DNA" thing isn't as simple as that, though.
A lot of it is used as memory for past interactions with infection vectors, basic behaviours (the nature part of us vs the nurture part) and such.
Hopefully China doesn't cave to western faggot pressures to stop research.
GO CHINA!

A software revolution against shitty code quality and stupid managers. I'm fed up with how every single piece of software, every driver, every device, etc is a pile of garbage that could've been made 10x better if only they cared and if the project wasn't bogged down by stupid managers that just pull the developers' productivity down the drain with their bullshit.

Supersonic flight causes Sonic booms that are similar to loud explosions and can break windows( http://www.airspacemag.com/flight-today/Search-for-Quiet-SST-180952125/) that's why they were allowed to fly over land back ithe day. However NASA is claiming that they can reduce the effect of the booms over land (http://www.cnbc.com/2017/06/21/nasa-and-honeywell-claim-they-can-reduce-sonic-booms-over-land-potentially-bringing-supersonic-flight-to-the-masses.html )but I remain sceptical. Hyperloop works because the boom is contained and requires less energy than supersonic flight.

You mention all hardware advancements. Software devs need to catch up and actually utilize the technology to it's full potential. May be a good thing, forcing people to optimize their apps rather then assume that everyone will just have the processing power to deal with it's poor programming.

Things I don't think we'll have soon, but will eventually:
Full neural interfacing (I bet we can intercept and prevent the prorogation of neural signals in the real world using neuro-chemicals that are responsible for sleep paralysis)

There's not even really a point to doing it over land, with a flight from LAX to JFK being only 5.5 hours. Flying business class, it's not an unenjoyable experience at all. The problem comes from operating costs being stupid high since supersonic travel is extremely inefficient.

As for travel advances, increasing passenger comfort while keeping prices reasonable would go very far in improving the travel experience. I don't think that will happen, however, since airlines like Frontier are growing rapidly, and their entire business model is based on providing the bare minimum for the lowest price.

It's another symptom of the widening class divide. Since people need to preserve their limited disposable income, they're willing to endure discomfort for a few hours in order to save hundreds. I'm guilty of it myself... $175 round trip from DEN to PIT? Fuck yeah.

So as far as air travel is concerned, I would realistically guess that we're going to see airlines slashing amenities along with prices, in a sort of "race to the bottom", since ultra low cost carriers have shown that people are willing to sacrifice niceties for money saved.

Things I think will happen soon (next 5-10 years):
>Self driving cars
>VR
>NSA tier organizations gaining notable quantum computing abilities
>smartphones becoming more integrated into our lives

Things I don't think we'll have soon, but will eventually (10-30 years):
>factory grown meat replacing beef farms that are horrendous for the environment
>automation of the truck driver... very far reaching impacts
>automation of many jobs in general, causing serious issues for the economy
>hopefully some breakthrough in battery technology

Things that may happen some day, but probably beyond our lifetimes:
>Strong AI/Singularity
>Stop ageing process (may get turbo cancer)
>Nanomachines to fight infection and repair damaged tissue
>Self-sustaining mars colony
>Full independence from fossil fuels

Things that will never happen:
>Hyperloop

self driving cars would require consistency in americas infrastructure. it might work out west where the roads arent the lumpy half assed shit they are in places like the south. self driving cars is more viable in western europe since they actually build quality roads and fund the money to properly maintain them. ever drive on roads in texas? driving along and all of a sudden random dip on one side of the road, add some rain to the mix and all the computer processing power and the best tires arent going to stop it from hydroplaning into a car hauling a family

>>61266262
That's why we need anarcho-transhumanism

>>61269700
To be fair, as long as they do better than humans it's a net win.

Of course when self driving cars take off, every crash caused by the AI is going to make the news.
People will be distrustful because they are obviously above average drivers and they would never make a mistake.

>>61269756
humans are not inferior, only the people who dont invest any money into properly maintaining their cars and the biggest offenders ones not investing in tires or brake maintenance. the problem with americans is that its still ingrained that everyone should be driving which some people cant handle the responsibilities that come with piloting a 2 ton missile on public roads and are better off being bussed around on mass transit if americans would actually invest in it so the quarter of the population that dont see their decisions as affecting all of those around them arent piloting fucking 2 ton hunks of metal

>>61262335
fuck off hippie get a job

>>61269817
did your period button fucking break a quarter into posting? use grammar holy fuck.

and saying its mostly people who dont maintain their cars is bigoted as some people are probably great drivers but dont have the money to throw any into their cars for maintenance, you also have people driving brand new cars who have no regard for the safety of other drivers fucking around on their phones when hands free devices exist and are mandatory by law in places like europe

>thinks its about improper car maintenance

lmao it's fucking becky white bitch snapchatting while driving that's causing the pile-ups.

it's the 80 year olds that have no business on the road, yet somehow we don't have a system that retests drivers every 20 years or something.

it's the tractor trailers thinking highways are ~their~ road and bully people out of the way and causing lane-change accidents

it's also the people with absolutely no regard to their own mortality driving like a fucking maniac and think they always are more important/hurry hurry hurry.

also use your fucking signals holy shit.

>>61269895
tractor trailers in europe are all governed at 100kmh, the ones in america ive seen hit 90mph. lane etiquette is ingrained in europe so people just get out of the way for mr. important and everyone just arrives home or whereeber theyre going safely instead of trying to spite other drivers because they want to or just dont possess any situational awareness for anything around them

>>61270554
Only some of it, is.
That was blown out of the water with the plant finding since it managed to evolve without having any direct dependencies on non-coding strands.
The fact that it could be possible to get rid of it all is the thing to take away from it.
So much junk is still left in there that never gets expressed in most people. And most times it just causes them illness due to improper expression or exposure to toxins and infections.

The biggest expressions in non-coding DNA come from epigenetic methylation.
It seems that some of these non-coding sections allowed us to evolve to harsh situations really quickly.
A good example is the stress and strains that come from high-intensity interval training (HIITs), which causes some methylation to occur which leads to the body being able to clear out lactic acid build up better, as well as deal with inflammation better.
However on the other end, failure of these can lead to autoimmune and allergies. And likewise various cancers and even mental disorder.

The downside of erasing it, however, is that we'd be completely defenceless to everything else that has evolved over the last few billion years.
Instead of coding it straight in to functional DNA, "we" put it in to non-coding which is seemingly more flexible, but also more catastrophic when it fails.
Worse because we've removed ourselves from the wild and abusing anti bacterials, biotics and fungals out the ass. Thank fuck anti virals are still locked down.
So we'd need to figure out ways of hard-coding responses to external influences.
We'd not realistically be able to erase all of it.
These non-coders are literally genetic memory of the environment we've lived in over our evolution.

Free as in freedom CPUs.

Putting your brain power inside robots (memories, consciousness etc) so we can ditch these flawed bodies and become immortal.
I know it sounds edgy but think about it at least we would have a choice whether we die or not and give us time to learn more about death instead of making up stories and following them blindly (religion).
Then it would just be a matter of making the robot as humanlike as possible with feeling and every sense then surpassing that too.
