3. unmanned vehicles advanced enough to replace all front line humans (might make war popular again, unfortunately)

as much of a waste that war is now, that will make it even more of a waste and pointless

Dunno what it will be, but you can bank on the fact it'll be energy related.

I tend to agree on that one.

THAT will be one of the next best inventions... I was reading somewhere about battery capacity, and apparently while everything else in technology has improved, batteries have hit a plateau...

I heard somewhere that the next big breakthrough with batteries will be ones that recharge fully in seconds! I mean think about it, if your battery only lasted 3 hours, but you could recharge it in 10 seconds...

That's probably the most likely thing to happen I think.

battery technology is one of the main things holding us back for now, as far as i know

i heard some where while everything is advancing we are still using battery technology from about 20 years ago, some one made a thread on small batteries that are 3X as efficiant made from some sort of virus

im willing to bet that the biggest break through will have something to do with making energy or storing it

You would be a rich man if you could figure out a way to cheaply store energy long-term. So far, chemicals are the best way (batteries, oil, natural gas, etc.).

Sliced bread without the hard, cardboard-looking, tasteless ends.

I agree with the majority in this thread that it will have to do something with energy source...........

.....like a drop of antimatter capable of powering an entire city for months without any waste or harmful by-products produced during the energy conversion.

where do you work? what's with this strange circular language you're using... secret government project manager?

hopefully we'll find the Stargate... yeah, I'm going with a Stargate.

...or read the fiction novel that talked a lot about a non-fiction laboratory

I do believe you are correct; power can be broadcast.

that's what i have heard too, but im skeptical because i have not idea how one would transfer power wirelessly, and safely

my guess, is far improved batteries, since the ones we have aren't all they great

They could improve upon this technology.

It may not change the entire world, but the political landscape is going to be shaken up quite a bit.

Organic sources for fuel are extremely inefficient... no combination of corn, cows or grain will replace oil, ever.

I think the best shot we have it solar power, since that's ultimately where all our energy comes from and it would be more efficient to tap it directly than to invest in indirect methods like raising cows or crops.

Genetic engineering will save mankind from it's own self destruction by creating only intellectually and morally superior human beings.

Nothing will ever top that because without it we will eventually kill each other off due to our violent, sheep-like, and ignorant nature.
