What is the greatest thing the Millennials will accomplish or produce by the year 2065?

Judging by my daughter, a complete intolerance for prejudice of any kind and the continued dilution of organized religion.

Perfecting the Hoverboard.

They will have harnessed and perfected fusion power.

“By the 2020s, most diseases will go away as nanobots become smarter than current medical technology. Normal human eating can be replaced by nanosystems. The Turing test begins to be passable. Self-driving cars begin to take over the roads, and people won’t be allowed to drive on highways.

By the 2030s, virtual reality will begin to feel 100% real. We will be able to upload our mind/consciousness by the end of the decade.

By the 2040s, non-biological intelligence will be a billion times more capable than biological intelligence (a.k.a. us). Nanotech foglets will be able to make food out of thin air and create any object in physical world at a whim.

By 2045, we will multiply our intelligence a billionfold by linking wirelessly from our neocortex to a synthetic neocortex in the cloud.”

The only people still walking around with hand-held communication devices in their pockets will be Luddites and very young children .
Everyone will have their RF Transceivers installed when they get the mandatory teeth straitening surgery and laser hair removal at age 13.

The greatest invention will be a way to download knowledge and skills straight to the brain. This will unexpectedly cause a further widening in the gaps of “haves and have nots”, because the poor will be unable to afford the links or downloads.

The most popular invention will be a dream/experience recording device, like the ones in Brainstorm or Strange Days.

No new antibiotics. Life expectancy for the average person falling off by 40 years or more.

They will be so busy paying off the debt that the Boomers selfishly left them, that they won’t have time to accomplish much else.

They will reinvent the wheel and fire after WW3, started by the colonies, sends humanity back to the stone age.

@Silence04 That timetable is more naively optimistic than the imaginations from the 60s.
At best it will look the same as today, with a few shinier gadgets, and the iphone 55.

To have reversed the course of global climate change.

Manditory suicide at 65 years old.

That saving like crazy for retirement was smarter than buying a new smartphone every time a new model came out.

Virtual reality headsets with ultra high definition.

@cookieman [….the continued dilution of organized religion.
Thank God that will never happen, even if they get rid or organized religion, which I can be for, there will still be God.

@Silence04 “By the 2020s, most diseases will go away as nanobots become smarter than current medical technology. Normal human eating can be replaced by nanosystems…]
This will outpace the so-called super viruses that are getting ever more resistant to treatments of man?

Does that mean someone with a lot of computing power (the feds), or wicked smart can hack your brain, or implant a synoptic virus in your psyche?

@LuckyGuy Everyone will have their RF Transceivers installed when they get the mandatory teeth straitening surgery and laser hair removal at age 13.
I can see the death of privacy there. Your ever move can be tracked, don’t know what the balding at 13 would have to do with it. Would that be just males, or everyone? It would surely have some small effect to leveling the social playing field.

Overfishing of the oceans will mean no edible fish left in them. Within 50 years!

^ Maybe they will clone fish in fish cloning labs.

@ragingloli say what you will, Ray kurzweil has an outstanding record for his predictions. We are right on track with the predictions he previously made many years ago.

@Silence04
When I look at the predictions that are listed on that site, that are used to show “how right he was”, I see mere extrapolations of technology that already existed at the time.
There are some of those in the current predictions, as well, like the self driving cars (already being worked on) and VR feeling real (oculus rift, currently exists).
On the other hand, he makes some predictions about technology that does not currently exist, like nanobots, actual AI, replicators, and synthetic brains used to enhance human intelligence.
I am quite confident that those predictions will fail, but his acolytes will use the easy extrapolations to handwave those.

Fixing up the planet that was ruined by the previous generation.
