Computers. Where are they headed in the future?
"Will they stay much the same as they are now or will science fiction soon become
reality?"
My outlook on the future of technology is built on my present outlook of technology: it already scares the shit out of me. We already have so many technologies now that are unbelievable. Some of these technologies most people know about, i.e. the IPhone, and some most people do not know about. My opinion is that "science fiction will become reality" and sooner rather than later. The really paranoid part of me looks around at these new advances in technology and says "yep, SkyNet goes online in about 5 years...max."
Think I'm just crazy? That's fair. But, hey, just for funsies, let's look at some examples:
1) Remember in Terminator Salvation (2009) when John Connor is in the water and he gets attacked by those snake robots? Those don't exist right?
Wrong.
2) How about cyborgs and androids like in I, Robot (2004)? We won't even be alive for that sort of technology, right?
Try again.
Meet Jules, watch as he carries on conversations with these people, and tells that baby that "one day [he] will come and find him."
3) Iron Man is not just a fictional super hero anymore. The government has already been creating and perfecting robotic technology, such as exoskeletons, to benefit the military.
4) Then there's this thing:
Just imagining that thing chasing you is enough to freak me out about what the future of technology holds.
But, if you're still not convinced that you should be afraid, then I will let Brett Erlich explain it to you in this segment of Viral Video Film School:
