Deus Ex or Blade Runner - Love that cyberpunk feeling

It depends how far into the future.

I really liked the ones from eX-Driver, Patlabor and Bubblegum Crisis which were like 20 minutes into the future.

I would say that the futures I liked the most were the ones which were like 20 or 30 minutes into the future or maybe a little farther.

Uninhabited Planet Survive had people colonizing other planets. Saber Marionette J had people colonizing other planets with clones and gynoids. Steel Angel Kurumi didn't have people living in other planets but still had gynoids. Chobits had gynoids too. Gynoids everywhere.

I would really love a future where gynoids are like the most normal and natural thing to have around and women could have androids if they so wish. Having them around the house as housekeepers, aides or even fuck buddies.

That's why skycars will only be a viable option once they can fly themselves. Just punch in coordinates and it flies there for you.

>>32528
I'm pretty sure skycars wouldn't be steered manually but automatically like a that google car. That would also be the only logical way to prevent skycars from exiting their skyroads and observe all three dimensions.

I still don't care about Skycars as long as they don't rely on some freaky shit like antigrav

It seems realistic- seeing that overpopulation is already starting to become an issue in places such as india.

I can't wait until all third world people arrive on 420chan, this is going to be VERY interesting, especially on /pol/

The future is going to be the exact same as now with maybe one or two impactfull new technology every 10 or so years. We recently got computers then the internet then cellphones but all though things are different in a small scale not much has changed. It's just a cycle of fads and a long lasting apathy.

>>33225

>The future is going to be the exact same as now with maybe one or two impactfull new technology every 10 or so years.

In the future, long after humanity colonize the galaxy, there will still be war between empire and democracy, there will still be politicians taking bribes, there will still be feudal lords exploiting imperial subjects, chartered company-colony ruled by corporation, nationalist-socialist coup, colonial uprising, civil war for the imperial throne, international investors losing faith in government bonds, economic depression, civil war between fascists and republicans, government debasing the money, terrorism by religious fanatics, cities nuked out of existence, economic and financial warfare, governments becoming insolvent, war exhaustion from manpower shortage, etc.

Ghost in the Shell is FAR from upbeat and utopic. So is Deus Ex.

Both worlds are rife with political corruption, corporation control, money laundering, and even a mass refugee upheaval that nearly destroyed part of Japan. Again. (In GITS)

>>33181
Deus Ex was upbeat in some areas, and Human Revolution had a pessimistic view of politics, but an optimistic view of the good in people.

>>32872
You don't see a lot of nitty gritty cyberpunk anymore because everything is all HD and smooth and 3D printer and apple iphone wireless 500g with a bit of the gritty in there.

I miss the 90s aesthetic on the future, I guess. People with jacks in the back of their neck and a 500tb memory card stuffed into their brain.

Only a few things are different then what is pictured.

Oh yea i am taking just about all the pictures in this thread.<3

Over at /616/ I storytimed Mike Saenz' "Iron Man: Crash", the first digital graphic novel.
http://boards.420chan.org/616/res/30517.php
Saenz was cyber as fuck, he also gave us the first computer generated comic with Shatter, and the first fully rendered CGI comic with Donna Matrix.

Damn, I wanted to post that. Yeah, I read about in one of those popular science mags(New Scientist or something like it) about a year ago. It blows my mind that "mind-image-reading" research is actually being conducted and getting results.

>>31961
You don't know that at all. Imagine when sound was first being recorded and people probably claimed, "You will never be able to accurately reproduce the sound of a symphony".

>>32055
Wouldn't that be a bit redundant?

I imagine the resolution of our minds' eyes will be shitty. At most I think it'll be a way to efficiency convey what you mean but then it will have to be enhanced or redone in a new format.

But resolution might vary wildly from individual to individual. It is said that Tesla envisioned entire inventions in his mind without ever writing anything down, and then just created them from memory. So there might be certain people like that who are a rarity and could make a living based on that ability alone - having scenarios described to them, and then recording the resulting imaginings.

http://the.loading-info.net/2011/09/dream-recording-brain-imaging-will.html

Found this a while ago haven't seen any updates on it however.
This has always been my most desired dream OP. I think it may eventually turn into a reality as a means for enlightenment.

>>32493
I imagine it would only have low resolution if you weren't paying much attention to it; i.e. if you were doing passive recording the field of view of decent resolution would be small. But, if you were devoting all of your conscious effort on something like making a movie with your mind I would assume the resolution would be all around decent since you are devoting resources to do so.

>>32463
close your eyes for an hour only to be disappointed when you open them and realize that isn't your reality.

>I know that feel

>>33160
Lol yeah totally, people with realistic expectations in regards to what is actually evident now are racist

>>33162
prove your not racist.
you cant because you are

Within the next couple hundred years there will be the first germlined humans, then the superbright babies, then the colored (varying rainbow) and striped and spotted. Ears and noses will begin to have wildly caricatured shapes such as the long horizontal elf ears. Space People will have hands for feet. Then the merpeople and the beginning of splices and rianths (real furries) with the cat and rabbit people, then most animals and some aliens. There will be many variants just to be able to handle new colony planets' gravity, air food etc.

At the same time there would have been the first DNI linkups in people after google glasses, then cyborgs, then bioborgs and nanobioborgs (these people will be able to do jake the dog stretching), all mixing up with the gengineered people.

Then there are the virtual uploaded people, they can choose to look however they want whenever they want (and they can fly).

Anything else besides this level of variety at 10000 years in the future is absurd and makes me think of the Aryan supremacy of Nazi Germany.

Thing is, and I realize I'm going to get called out for not defending my shit because this is a troll thread or whatever, but the thing is that there simply isn't the kind of continuity of inherited identity within groups, or among different groups, anymore. Sure, you can kinda tell if somebody's mom was black because their skin'll look brownish. But blacks are like 12% and dwindling. And everybody else mostly just doesn't give a flying fuck as long as you fit in with whatever the new/dominant ideology is, because then they know you won't start shit.

So no, we aren't gonna have Khan from Star Trek and the Eugenics Wars or whatever, I think we've actually dodged that piece of misery at this point.
What you need to worry about might be ethnic "ordnung" masquerading as supposedly new legal ideology to combat corruption or what-have-you.

Sounds more like a hot time to me.

Wait. What would happen if two dark matter engined ships try to go in the opposite directions from each other at the same time?

I was so high when I read it.
It blew my mind.
First thought was I gotta share this with 420chan.
You guys showed it to me in the first place.

I dont think This show was try hard at all . I do think it is a somewhat archiac view of the tech being used in todays robotics. I pretty much Think the rulle that everything should be wireless . Ya know ? Like I was Impressed with the robotics in the show until I saw the legs were tethered.

Oh god why did I watch the video on top of everything... This is seriously fucked up.

Onkyokei, noise, experimental electronica. I think as music gets more acessible, improvisation will become a larger part of music as a whole.

>>33007
Joanna Lumley has sure let herself go.

Boards of Canada, Aphex Twin, Tycho, Eluvium, Four Tet, Amon Tobin, Clark, Squarepusher etc are all 'sounds of the future' in my eyes. Although quite a few such artists actually are devoted to the more low tech analog aesthetic, so who knows how that's gonna be incorporated in the future.

Ideally however I'd love for the music of the future to be a massive clusterfuck-amalgamation of the roots of music - so the rhythmic base of jazz and hip hop, melody of trance, the groove of house, the breakbeat of drum and bass, etc. With a whole load of whateverthefuck from people on the Warp/Ninja Tune roster.

Whatever it's gonna be, it's gonna be good.

fox......DIE!!!!

I would hope that as the future unfolds scientists would put more research into ways to destroy viruses than into turning them into weapons. Because honestly I think bioweapons like you're describing, which I don't think sound that absurd, could be more devastating than nuclear war.
