Hang Out and Post

micro chips. In the future. Computers will be small enough to fit on a contact lens...or at least, that's what they say *shruggs*

[jumpingbeans]

Or maybe, computers will still exist...

but just on online museums!

[-Ryan]

I can't wait for the day when we can talk in the HOP, only we'll all be sitting in a virtual room as holograms.

[jumpingbeans]

That would be cool.

It would be even cooler if we could teleport to each other and talk in real, face-to-face conversations.

[CAV of Gang Green]

but you'd wear special glasses, and only yourself would be able to see...

it would be projected on to you glasses.

 

The 3DS can project 3D WITHOUT the glasses, and that's coming out in less than a year. I'm pretty sure that in a thousand years EVERYONE can do that.

 

Hmmm. Maybe I'm anti-change, but I like computers/the internet the way it is.

 

ANTI-CHANGE ALERT!

[jumpingbeans]

CAV: you already told us about that, and I'm saving up to get one now.

What? Someone's anti-change? Man the boundaries! Do your duties!

[-Ryan]

Isn't teloportation impossible for somethig as large as a human? I read something that said it would take way too many years...

[CAV of Gang Green]

CAV: you already told us about that, and I'm saving up to get one now.

 

Yes I know I told you that. So why are you mentioning 3D glasses in a thousand years, when there's something that allows us to do the same thing without them?

 

We will have LOOOOOOOOOOOOOOONG moved on from 3D glasses.

 

O hai Ryan. Teleportation will take a long time, but it isn't imposssible.

[jumpingbeans]

Well maybe, we'll of invented something to lengthen the life of a human.

And we'll all be living on different planets, yet still just a few seconds away.

Edit: And CAV: I meant personal 3d glasses that would project an image from the lense viewable to the person looking through them only...

or maybe they'll be contacts.

Contacts. They will be contacts.

 

And we are overpopulating the Earth because we are already making the lifespan of humans longer. So....yeah....

[jumpingbeans]

But we will be moving to other planets, maybe even other galaxies!

And some people might prefer glasses. Or maybe, even as Spritzie said, some will still be on computers.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Yes, to the point that there's humans on every square foot of the universe. That's too much young sir.

 

And some people might prefer glasses. Or maybe, even as Spritzie said, some will still be on computers.

 

ANTI-CHANGE THOUGHTS!!!

[jumpingbeans]

I'm not Anti-change, I came up with the idea.

I'm just saying, some people might be anti change.

[CAV of Gang Green]

Then that's an ANTI-CHANGE THOUGHT!!!! (still)

 

Ryan, quit stalking and join the conversation. You too, Yahoo.

 

Oh, crap. Dad's gonna be home soon, better get off.

[jumpingbeans]

Bye CAV. :crying:

And why is Yahoo always on here? (don't answer, please, it's a rhetorical question. I know the answer).

[CAV of Gang Green]

Nah, Yahoo isn't much of a problem.

 

Google is the one that ALWAYS stalks me.

 

Bye.

[jumpingbeans]

Bye.

But it seems to me that Ask Jeeves and MSN are more common.

See you tomorrow(I hope).

[CAV of Gang Green]

I'll be here tomorrow. Count on it.

 

And for me it's Google. Maybe it's because it's my perferred serch engine, and it wants me to serch something.

[jumpingbeans]

Aren't you supposed to be gone by now? :laughingsmiley:

But I've never even heard of Ask Jeeves, and here it is, day after day.

[-Ryan]

Cav, don't leave.

Please, please, don't leave me.

I always say how I don't need you,

but it's always gonna come rightbackto this,

Please, don't leave me~

[jumpingbeans]

A haiku:

Christopher AV

Please do not leave us here now.

We would miss you so.

A limerick:

There once was a man, CAV,

Who needed to leave, don't you see.

But his friends begged and pleaded

Their advice he did head it

And now that man stays and we're pleased!

Edit: I changed the limerick because it was wrong. Now it's just bad.

[Unstream]

Regarding the earlier topic of those new technologies, I'm just gonna say, realistically, we're not going to see any of that stuff in our lifetimes. We have practically nothing on teleportation at the moment (we can only transfer information, not matter) and computer's are not going to be getting that small (and if they did, they'd probably suck - plus it'd involve nanotechnology, which most scientists have deemed impractical)

[jumpingbeans]

But, our lives would be extended, then we'd colonize on the moon, then Mars, then we'd work more or teleportation, etc.

[Spritzie]

I will be one of the stickler computer users. I love my computers, as is, too much to move on. I mean, I seriously love my desktop. I'm not a big fan of laptops.

[Unstream]

No I'm not saying like the next generation might see it. I'm talking maybe 500-1000 years down the line before we get close to stuff like that.

 

And actually, colonizing the moon or Mars isn't very popular. The problem with the moon is that it has no atmosphere and it doesn't rotate on an axis. Along with that, it rotates around the Earth, not the sun, so you couldn't have day or night the way you normally would.

The problem with Mars is that it doesn't have an atmosphere either. The whole place is pretty much just barren rock. They (as in National Geographic) estimated that it would take 100,000 years just to set up the conditions for our most resilient flora. It would take much longer for us to introduce fauna, and then later begin colonizing. It's not something we'll ever see.
