The Next Fifty Years of Tech - Professor Victoria Baines

[@qwertyuiopgarth]

A 'futures lecture' that would be fascinating is "extrapolating the consequences of a black swan event".

[@PazLeBon]

lets play guess the future why? cos it can inspire sci fi movies with things like flying cars like they did 50 years ago :)

[@sweetykitty4427]

Dr Baines putting on the most cyber future outfit hehe

[@fburton8]

Cyberwomen ftw!

37:50 What you are describing is an addictive drug. Like we don't have enough social challenges already. This is tech used to divide us further, making us more easily manipulated through our emotional instabilities. As with any powerful mood altering drugs, these artificial personalities need strictly controlled.

[@WildBillCox13]

Wait till the cartels get hold of this . . .

The single technology that will expand quantum computer is really inexpensive superconducting materials that function at the temperature of liquid nitrogen.

[@dusanvuckovic17]

from what I understand, a quantum computer can give a single answer but not how it got to it. plus you need to calculate an error margin!!!!

[@GlassEyedDetectives]

I always listen up when Dr Baines speaks.....a great talk, thank you. Futurists don't live in the real world...they long for a so-called 'better' world to their own liking. So, what do we do when some very seductive, impatient, well=funded and megalomaniacal Futurists go on the offence?....well, the entrenched Traditionalists dig in and go on the defense to protect what they hold dear for the love of them,......while those who just live in the 'Now' are utterly bamboozled, and totally oblivious as to what is going on around them, and totally ignorant of what is actually at stake, and thus they inevitably get captured, displaced or even destroyed during the conflict.

[@PazLeBon]

yet many people think half of improvents are actually backwards steps :) yes we are all living longer but are all poorer lol

[@GlassEyedDetectives]

@@PazLeBon hee!....it can certainly seem that way at times. I'm all for people setting out and planning for their own personal 'better' futures, but not at the expense of denying others of the ability to author theirs. 😁

[@PazLeBon]

@@GlassEyedDetectives 4 sure ;)

[@phillipmitchell2254]

Perfect except the lack of space pants

[@PazLeBon]

mannn, i already have space pants

[@MalachiMarvin]

Soylent was named after the book, not the movie, which did not contain cannibalism.

[@PazLeBon]

dont bring facts into this , its fantasy night :)

[@xavierdumontperso]

The movie did contain cannibalism ! Dead bodies were the source of proteins for the soylent green tablets... It's THE plot's twist at the end of the movie.

[@MalachiMarvin]

@@xavierdumontperso yes, I know the *movie* contained cannibalism. The *book* , which is what the drink Dr. Baines mentioned is named after and what I was talking about, does *not* contain cannibalism. The movie added that.

[@xavierdumontperso]

Ok my bad ! @@MalachiMarvin

[@CAM-fq8lv]

That top. Why?

[@peter_smyth]

It's futuristic, like 1966 cybermen.

[@WildBillCox13]

Liked and shared.

[@josephturner7569]

I bet you never noticed the Consumers For Christ in Brazil.

[@nunocosta-vt5xq]

Ehang, ticker EH

[@charliedoyle7824]

She doesn't seem to have noticed the huge burgeoning EVTOL sector, with aircraft such as from Ehang.

[@hasato-e1]

Why there is not thoughts about eternal life?

[@jeremywvarietyofviewpoints3104]

In the future people will dress in silver and have brightly coloured hair.

[@Scodiddly]

The very near future, in fact!

[@PazLeBon]

you mean like in the 70, 80s, 90's and this century? go figure
