Robots that do everything for you so you don't have to do anything ;o, it'll be good for a few weeks or so but then you'll just get so bored.

Hopefully it will be more eco-friendly and just improved technology to make our lives easier! unless the robots went evil and destroyed us..

Interesting thread.
I really think we should sway against robots. Once you have a robot that can think for itself, who knows what it will do?

i think people have the wrong idea of what robots are going to do for us in the future. its not like we're gonna have like, our own robots that do EVERYTHING for us like our servants. Its just that theres going to be specific technologies (robots) for things we usually have humans do, you can already see this happening in the form of robots for surgery, machines that make human-made-quality foods, etc. i very very much doubt there would be a market for human-owned robot-servants. the amount of money it would cost would exponentially outweigh the very little service it can do for you. really if you think about it what would you even have a robot do for you if you owned one? i cant think of anything terribly useful.

also anyone who thinks the world isnt going to change much is insane, progress moves exponentially. technology used to take hundreds of years to develop, but now look at how much its changed in just the past 10-20 years. but our progress is never what you think its gonna be. everyone always thinks of robots and jetpacks when they think of the future, but its always technology you dont expect. like who would have thought of anything like the internet 30 years ago?

I can see the medical profession being completely different. So far we have robots doing minor operations like with keyhole surgery. I can see major operations slowly being taken over, if not completely done by just a technician at hand making sure the numbers are correct in the computer - a human barely has to touch another human in the operation theatre

Not sure what to think about cars... Another engine may be out that replaces the petrol engine completely with a renewable source that doesn't completely downgrade power.

Other than that, the usual gadgetry and God knows what would happen with Apple and Microsoft. Google might build or buy a planet, or move to the moon.
