Reality is a shit
Weren't the Jetsons from the 30th century?
According to Ghost in the Shell I will have complete brain-computer integration and robot bodies in 20-25 years. If this does not come to pass I'm going to nuke something.
I believe they were set in the 21st century, but they didn't specify a year.
Basically any Sci-Fi from before the 80s was the 21st century, thinking it would be a Utopia. If Flintstones was Honeymooners set in the Stone Age, Jetsons was the same but with a 1960s idealization of the future.
Yes, but the brain isn't inmortal. You'll live like, 20 years as a cyborg and that's it
Amazing how just 15 years of Hart-Cellar and Diversity Crap could do to the trajectory of the country emotionally.
Flying cars are stupid anyway. You could have so many 9/11s
Stop using the arguments I made in /g/ against me!
We've turned to a country where we couldn't think of such a horror, to now expecting it daily.
That alone is a tragedy we shouldn't be expecting in the world, the technology isn't more deadly relatively, it's that we've allowed people who'd consider such barbarism into this country.
how does that work exactly? Shouldnt any biological weaknesses be left with the body?
>You could have so many 9/11s
God if only
I'd rather live 20 years as a cyborg than 20 years as a human.
No? Your brain still ages and deteriorates.
>You could have so many 9/11s
Not just intentional suicide rammings into government, economic, or infrastructure buildings. Try a mid-air collision due to pilot or computer error, or the pilots being shitty human beings who modify their conciousness with alcohol, drugs, or other forms of intoxication and then operate that heavy high-velocity flying machinery.
Imagine the results of trying to dump fuel to avoid an explosion on landing. That fuel doesn't evaporate immediately and doesn't evaporate harmlessly.
All and i do mean ALL of that shit already fucking happened in the 60's... Car crashes existed from the moment the car also existed. The "flying cars" fantasy was absolutely a dream from ignorance on the part of its creators, of the delicate inner workings between a machine and a human, and a humanity struggling with their own nature.
Hello, Icarus. Try to avoid flying too close to the sun, this time, will you?
Have fun being the victim of a hate crime, bot boy.
Hey at least we got a Disney-backed planned community just like Walt always wanted.
I mean, the body replaces parts every few years at different paces, it just replaces them with similarly aged material. Just add newer/younger organic replacements along with augments and bam. immortal.
not even, just bad drivers.
while I love driving, self driving is the way of the future. then slowly we'll return to trains like god intended.
I'd rather we get hover cars. No moving parts and no contact with the ground would mean so much less maintenance and making self-driving cars would also be a lot simpler. They;d be a lot quieter too.
how does one brake in a hover car?
That really depends on how the hover car even works.
But the brain is digital now. Why would that happen? All the cells that would decay are now digital and will last as long as there is power. Right?
Whichever direction the propelling element is pointed is then switched the other way.
See the thing is the cars are hovering, but they're being pushed by something obviously. Most likely gasoline powered air turbines since there's no way fossil fuels will ever stop being a thing thanks to greedy corporations.
>just take all of the mechanical interaction out of our daily lives, it'll be so much better!
i bet you think keyboards should be replaced with holographic interfaces too. maybe one day we'll all get to see what it's like to live in your soulless world where everything happens around us instead of because of us
The brain is still organic, it just controls the rest of the body, which is mechanical.
You can't digitize your consciousness. The best you would get is a copy of your mind while the original "you" is still stuck here in the physical world.
So you're picturing, what? The mind being transferred into a computer brain instead?
You know it would technically just be a copy of you, right? Granted it would be able to live much longer but it wouldn't be you, so I'm not sure what's to gain
Just try it humie, I got the strength of five gorillas.
that's not breaking, that's inverting your velocity vector, you'll still have momentum.
one I will die and ascend to the cartoon realm
Electric cars are generally simpler and better than gas cars, and with far fewer parts, the only real downside is how shitty the batteries are. In terms of self-driving cars, the fewer steps there are between the software thinking it should do something and it physically happening, the better it can work. If a hover car just worked with coils or something like maglev, the reaction time would be great, but it's slightly worse with the software having to control a motor speed and wheels that can slip and need to be steered, and even worse when you add a gas engine, gearbox and other components that can easily break-down.
>i bet you think keyboards should be replaced with holographic interfaces too. maybe one day we'll all get to see what it's like to live in your soulless world where everything happens around us instead of because of us
Keyboards are infinitely better than touchscreens, so some kind of holographic thing you can't even touch would be even shittier than a touchscreen. The only interface that I can think of that would be better than a keyboard would be a helmet that could read your brain activity and react to it at least as quickly and precisely as a keyboard, but technologically we're nowhere near that yet.
But I know I'm giving you way too much credit, you just want car loud, go vroom-vroom.
