But advances in technology are often seen in science fiction first so I am hoping to see proper artificial intelligence in my life. And in my dreams, I would love that humanity could create ring worlds, these would be huge rings, orbiting a sun at about the same distance the earth is now and people could live on the inner surface.
This is completely impossible just now (for a start, we would probably have to demolish a few solar systems to get enough material!) but maybe one day, in the far far future.
Have you heard of Moores Law? It says that computers get twice as powerful for the same size or cost every eighteen months or so. That’s why a smart phone now is a thousand times more powerful, a thousand times smaller, and a million times cheaper than a supercomputer from the 60s!
If this relationship carries on, then the computers and technology we’ll have in just a few decades time will be unimaginably good compared with what we have today.
