Future of Technology ??

What you think about the future of technology?
In my opinion technology is getting obsolete very quickly. For example just few years ago people were using GPRS in their mobile, then they shifted to Edge Technology then now a days people are talking about 3G and 4G/LTE Technology.
Same applies to all kind of technologies. First people were watching TV, then LCD, LED  now OLED, Curve, 3D and 4D.
What you see after 20 years ?

I think tech is innovating faster than people can actually realize and scientists and tech companies actually have future innovations in their pockets but are waiting for the perfect moment, a moment when people will be acclimatized with "what's new" and a time when people won't criticize that much if for example we will be able to merge into a virtual world and continue our existence.
As for what comes next?
Tech is unpredictable and also it is based on need and demand. So, if for the last 6 months there was a need of robots that cook pasta, there we go, go buy one in Walmart.

I think technology will become more advanced as it is today.

this is happening because of competition, I guess we may not need to buy most of the appliances like TVs in twenty years to come because they will be of no use. they are most likely to be replaced by something else.

What competition? The Tech world is becoming very monopolistic. Just ask the folks at Facebook and Google... But the question is: Is it going to be beneficial for technological progress? I am not sure...

There is competition. Countries are competing when it comes to AI. It’s the new space race, as others described it and China wants to be number one when it comes to the tech. So as long as there is competition, we will witness the emergence of innovative products and technologies.

I think technology evolves really fast nowadays and people are looking for more and more. As long as there is demand there will also be offers. So, in order to say that in the future we will have this and that it's not possible. We can only say that if we (more people) need flying cars (the demand) we will soon have them (offer). So that's how i see technology innovating in the future.

I think there will always be a constant demand for technology. We always want things easier and more convenient, correct? They say necessity is the mother of invention. That’s how technology develops. We need to solve earth’s problems, we need to make ourselves healthy and functional, we need to make work more efficient and productive –that’s the reason why new technologies are developed.  And I think all these developments in AI, blockchain, VR and AR –these are for fulfilling our everyday needs.

It seems to me that this is very interesting. Watch how technology changes from year to year. Now is a period of time when technology is developing rapidly. I am sure that in 20 years everything will change drastically, but most of the new technologies are not always needed, but for every product there is a buyer.

I think you have a concept error, the technology does not become obsolete, the technology advances quickly, leaving the current devices obsolete. And I think that as it goes the thing we will be in about 20 years immersed in the virtual reality

for me, that concept of tesla on transmitting energy from orbiting solar panels is really the future!

[Areding]

Technologies are rapidly moving forward and soon everything around us will become robotic and not real, so take for example the AI.

Technologi is stuck now. All companies do is upgrading existing techs. Just look smartphones: IPhone 1-4 had many differences, each were unique, and iPhones 6-X are almost the same, with small addtions.

Reminds me of this brilliant fellow: Charles H. Duell was the Commissioner of US patent office in 1899

Most famous utterance: "everything that can be invented has been invented."
