Todays fantasies are tomorrows realties


Horse manure.


fred j know nothing.

the big thing about landing on the moon? a large percentage of the
earths population believed it was impossible, which led to the moon
hoax people who still believe it was on a soundstage somewhere.

all accomplised in around 10 years.

so a fantasy for many became reality in 10 years.

so what fantasies today will be reality in the future?

wars fought on the ground by robots?

a star trek like transporter?

a way to time travel someway to look back at the past? would that
largely stamp out crime? If someone KNEW they would get caught?
Crimes of passion would likely still occur But most might just stop.
Since the bank robber would KNOW he would be caught.......

I am old enough to remember when a heart transplant was believed to be
impossible.

Some day a brain transplant todays fantasy.... may becme a reality

Theres a lot of evidence that in the future most humans wouldnt need
to do manual labor, most jobs will be done by robots using AI....

Now you will say pure popycock.

But look at how far cell phones have advanced. 30 years ago that was
star trek fantasy, today its reality

We are at the edge of a great change, a few will lead, and sadly a
large number will be like you, denying everything, with their head up
their ass.......
