There won't be any more large technology creation in our life time

One of the dumbest things I have seen here. Just in the past ten years we have seen AI, IoT, Cloud Computing, Autonomous vehicles, 3-D printing, Augmented Reality not to mention anything else and even ten years before that.
20 years ago you would not even fukking believe you could be on your phone with hardware that far surpasses high end PCs, on a video conference call with people all over the world on it, AI taking notes on what was being said while you are in a driverless taxi. You tell someone that from 1990 and they would think that would be some 2125 shyt, not 2025.
Advances in technology, medicine, engineering, science and a bunch of other shyt but since it not "cool" like a "Teleport machine" it gets ignored by the wider public.
You dudes just like to talk and be wrong, as long as it makes you feel good doing it.

AI is the biggest new invention. If you dont know or dont think so just wait

The kind of shyt an AI JBO will be into will drive the most perverted of humans into the mouth of madness

If it’s a lie, then we fight on that lie.
I know this is a Zay thread but there’s a push for air taxis happening now.
Like a legit one. Should bring a lot of jobs in the next 5 years. Just saying

I think everything changes once we finally understand gravity, time, space, dimensionality, and how all of these things are related.
Oh and wait until CRISPR becomes mainstream and accessible.
As for time travel and teleportation, I can see it happening. The reasons we think that they aren’t possible is because we’re limited by assumptions of how we believe time and space operate and dimensionality operate. When we think about teleportation for instance, we assume it must involve deconstructing matter and reconstructing the same matter exactly in a different location. Or a second assumption we make is that space isn’t malleable. But what if space is malleable? Picture a flat piece of paper. Put a dime on one end, to get to the other side of the paper without lifting off the surface the dime has to traverse the length of the paper right? Well what if we fold the paper such that one end connects to the other end, eliminating any physical distance in between, push the dime across the now folded paper and then unfold the paper? The dime has essentially teleported across the paper. This idea in real time would require a manipulation of time/space and dimensionality that we haven’t yet achieved but if we were to achieve it then teleportation becomes possible. Alternatively, what if we learn to create wormholes through space that we can then move through?
Anyway, these ideas aren’t mine. People who are smarter than me think about these things in these ways all the time. I think the point is that innovation requires letting go of our assumptions about the ways things work.
As for time travel, a thing I’ve been thinking about lately is this: if time and space are directly relational, which to my understanding is what e=MC squared is all about, then given that space is at minimum three dimensional, then perhaps time is also three dimensional and not planar or linear as we perceive it to be. If we are to think of time as multi-dimensional rather then linear than it stands to reason that there are ways to experience, manipulate, and traverse time that are possible albeit incomprehensible to our current understanding of physics. Anyway, this isn’t a fully fleshed out thought, but it’s something I’ve been thinking about…
All this to say, somewhere in the world a bunch of folks are currently working on dismantling an assumption/belief we have about how the world operates. A couple hundred years ago, if you said we could transfer information and energy through invisible waves sent across the world instantaneously they’d say you were nuts!

Yeah I'm good

I didn't make the thread... But if you read through it, the OP was very specific
We've had flying cars before 2021... having it commercially available does not make it NEW
Thorium reactor is good and just invented in 2025, even tho the research existed long before
I'd say the Big Bang collider is one but again, started before 2021
Self driving cars was definitely invented before 2021
Show me these batteries cause I need some... But aren't they just....... Batteries?
The tech in the smart stores have been around way before 2021
All that other shyt, computer on your phone... just a smaller computer and phone... AI didn't get invented in 2021.. video conference calls was out in the 80s..
I'm not trying to be "right".... You think I don't wanna see any new shyt? And if you disagree, it's a fukking message board.. Make your case
But the thread has gone so long because it's fukking hard to do, inventing something built on no past inventions... That's literally the point of the thread

Quantum computers.... first built in 1998
Think of like the OP.. Before the car.... what was the other car? Now we can have flying cars.... We have them now... But isn't that just another car?
Before the internet existed, what was the other internet that it was built upon? It'll get faster, but is it gonna be a different internet?
First computer............ See where this is going
Why do you keep bringing up 2021 as if that is when we were all born? You 4 years old?
I still remember seeing rotary phones being used to having a computer in the palm of my hand.
I remember having to go to the library to find information about things when now I can do that from anywhere from thousands of sources.
I remember wishing the Universal Translator from Star Trek was something that would happen way in the future, but you can translate text and speech in real time now with applications. Not perfect but immensely helpful and only getting better with Augmented Reality as well.
Back to Star Trek, a show set hundreds of years in the future, i wished I could ask a computer to do things for me like they could on the show but now that is actually a reality.
I went from resigning myself as a teenager to be stuck in an office and in traffic my whole life, to now being able to work from home or anywhere in the world.
I can keep going on and on but the point is that if you are not fukking 10 years old or younger, you have seen massive changes and new technologies being put out over your lifetime. Until the fukking railroad a few hundred years ago the fastest way to travel on land was a fukking animal, for thousands of years.
The fastest way to travel by sea before steam engines hundreds of years ago was with sails, which were invented around 4000 BC! How many people said you are not going to get any better than that and we have ships splitting atoms that can stay out at sea for months to years without getting supplies for the crew.
Talking about not seeing any large tech creations when in the last 40 years alone is on some sci-fi shyt. Bring someone from 1985 to now and they would be shocked at what is here now, hell you could bring someone from 2005 here and they would be amazed.

What does large technology creation even mean
And most of this advancement in tech is “insider baseball” so most won’t even know what’s up cause they don’t follow any industries, talk to certain individuals and they ca go into detail on certain shyt
And all tech is related too, like if there was some type of breakthrough in material science that would trickle down to damn near everything

Gotta OG Army Ranger that told me they were using touch screens in the early 80s for reconnaissance missions… Extremely similar to touch screens that are used in modern electronics today.
