Structured Settlement Insurance

Just wondering what people think will change because of technology. Technology has drastically affected the way we live our lives. How will it effect manufacturing and the economy as we move on? Will it be a positive or negative force. Do you think space travel, democratization of manufacturing (machines that will make you whatever you want), energy on massive scales, and possibly settlements on the Moon are things that might happen in the next 100 years

But before you answer think about how much technology has changed the lives of people in the past 100 years and consider that technology doubles every 18 months (Moore’s Law).
Spotty J – Almost every measure of the capabilities of digital electronic devices is strongly linked to Moore’s law: processing speed, memory capacity, even the number and size of pixels in digital cameras. All of these are improving at exponential rates as well. This has dramatically increased the usefulness of digital electronics in nearly every segment of the world economy. Moore’s law describes this driving force of technological and social change in the late 20th and early 21st centuries.
So yes moore’s law applies to transistors but those transistors make things work faster and preform better. I figured a dork like you would know that.
For the Person I picked for best answer

To say that technologies mature and plateau is the most narrow minded premise I’ve ever heard. Technology is unable to plateau, we might plateau in development because the technology meets our current needs. And development didn’t necessarily plateau in the car industry. It’s just the technology became unrealistic in a real world application. Formula 1 cars have engines that produce massive amounts of energy and rev at amazing speeds. Over 17,000 rpm (revolutions per minute). Or drag cars in the NHRA that go from 0 mph – 340 mph in less than 6 seconds. Oh no…it hasn’t plateaued and just because we don’t see it in everyday life doesn’t mean it doesn’t exist. So the capability of your sedan might not have increased drastically over the past 50 years but the technology that makes it more comfortable, reliable, and safe has changed drastically.
If someone told you 15 years ago that we would have computers in our cars that told you how to get places you would have laughed and said “maybe for the super rich.” But almost every car made now has that as an option for usually under $2000.
You’re right in saying that bio-tech might yield some amazing things in the next 20 years. Where I’m keeping my eye is Nanotechnology. Almost every expert and theorist thinks this is what might reshape our society in the way we manufacture, fight disease, and other important aspects of our lives. But what is the most amazing thing to me is that as we go on all these technologies will start to converge and start yielding great advancements that will change the way we live our lives. If you’re to narrow minded to see the possibilities oh well.
