What are the greatest scientific feats that we will see in the near future?

I enjoyed some of the tech that another user posted of that will be available to us via 3d printing in days to come including 3d printed functional organs. I'd love it if others will share things that they've come across.

Complete mapping of connectivity within our brains in the works:

More info on mapping as well as uploading the mind digitally:
http://www.pbs.org/the-brain-with-david-eagleman/episodes/who-will-we-be/
The full episode also gives information on the timelines for each of the mentioned projects, which I believe is an expected initial completion date of 2030 for being able to create the first fully functional cyberbrain simulation.

Tempt me with your wares, good people. I'd love to see more of the awesomeness that is coming our way. I haven't really been keeping up with functional prostheses other than what I've come across by chance, so any detailed info on that would be quite a good read/watch. There actually was a clip discussing that in The Brain series that I posted above.

Nanotech, quantum computing, fusion power.

Given that the lgbt community is the darling of the democrats and homelessness and debt doesn't matter to them..i'd say bionic anus' and sex change machines will be at the top of the list

Confirmation of the protophobic x boson and by extension the 5th fundamental force of nature.

Let's just hope we're still a long way off from a technological singularity.

Nanotech is a solid possibility. Cloning, or in general, vastly improved biotechnology is another imho.

The topic says greatest..not most saddening. You silly goose.

Blax, you libtarded HIPPY!! Stop promoting the retarded sheeple Obama America-hating BLM movement.

The White Guilt is indeed strong. It gives you focus, makes you stronger.

FEEL the guilt flow through you! FEEL the actions of people from centuries before you were born and BURN for them.

Feel the power of victimhood, it gives you access to many abilities that some consider to be..unnatural.

I was reading an article about driverless autonomous cars. It stated that ford planes on having its whole fleet autonomous in a decade. Uber also said it was looking into autonomous driving. Same goes for a few trucking companies. I think its cool but im also worried about the impact it'll have on that industry. Truck driving is one of a few good paying jobs that dont require a degree

I just hope we don't become a country that hinders progress just due to a financial reason.

*Remembers how shit went down with Nikola Tesla* Well damn, seems I'm many many decades too late.

Rabid anti-intellectualism is far more of a concern in western countries than funding. The fact that "scientist" and "expert" seems to be more and more a term of derision is becoming a problem.

It's the reason why half of all science graduates in the US are foreign born and return to their home countries after graduating.

For the first time ever the 25-34 year old bracket have a lower educational attainment that the 35-44 bracket.

I think quite a few industries are working very hard to make sure that doesn't come to pass. They are working with universities to make sure that students are where they need to be and the universities are constantly recruiting well and putting programs in place to get students all the way through to graduation. I definitely see more positive tech stories than negative ones.

I won't try and hit the dates for it as I'm slightly fuzzy on it since it's been two years or so since I saw him speak, but Michio Kaku's timeline for us implementing climate harnessing systems and eventually having what equates to planetary control at that level wasn't that far off, as in something that we'd likely live to see major steps toward. There are things like wave engines and all that, but beyond even that technology. It is interesting that he was also pointing out that unifying technology is often suppressed right alongside unifying music, which I won't go into except to say that in the end both win out.

I don't foresee the technophobes taking the day.

Just take a look at kids these days. For them technology is not even something "external" in a sense. They are digital natives and a laptop or an iPhone are basically an extension of their bodies.

As far as technological progresss goes, it would be great to live in an age with advanced bio-technology (though many dangers will surface, obviously).

I love this phrase. Nothing ages a person more when they say this so casually.

Peer reviewed paper on the EMDrive very soon and a space test within 6 months. A technology that, on paper, breaks newton's third law and no one can explain how it works. One theory suggests it makes plasma from unobservable virtual particles and vents that giving thrust in the process.

But we DO need to look at kids these days. They kind of will be running the country soon. People think Trump is bad? Imagine 3 decades from now..where our sitting president throws a hissy fit on tv over halloween costumes. Or when our sitting president retreats from some kind of political debate to run off to a safe space because their poor delicate wittle feelings heard something that makes them uncomfortable.

Or when play-doh and bubbles become staples of the oval office.
