Artificial stem cells seem like the next thing to really revolutionize medicine.
Quantum computers for brute force hacks seems doable in 100.
Eye tracking pointer devices will likely be more convenient than mice within a dozen or two years. This will probably be widely available for people who are paralyzed first.
Diamond processors are always 10 years away, but I think we can do it in 100. This would revolutionize the amount of power we can put through a chip without worrying about cooling.
Quick charge capacitor replacements for standard rechargble batteries
Low yield fusion plants. I'd like to think of them as capable of high yield, but it's much harder than initially thought. Some ideas are quite promising for low yield.
The eye tracking stuff exists already. There are medical device companies that build and sell these things.
I feel like the bottleneck will be with smooth continuous motions. It's very easy to move a cursor in that way with a mouse but you can't do that motion with your eyes unless you are looking at something else that's moving.
Vaccines. Maybe in 100 years we'll even be able to eliminate measles...again.
I suspect we will see a human brain to digital interface. I don't think it will be "downloading minds" or anything, but I could see someone finding a way to plug a specialized camera or mic in to have a full functioning robotic replacement part.
I'm pretty sure they already have the beginning pieces to this, but its too specialized and expensive to do anything commercial with it yet.
This is so terrifying to me. I feel like it'll end up like the Black Mirror episode with the subscription model, getting more and more expensive with fewer features.
Look up Daylight DC-1 might be what you are looking for
Tricorders, cellphones are already partway there they just need more durable, small sensors like a handheld light spectrometer to tell what things are made of and a handheld interferometer to detect gravity
Check out the app Phyphox, it uses all your existing sensors and probably surpasses tricorders in several ways while, of course, lacking in a few others.
We currently carry tricorders in our pockets. I can see a medical tricorder being ubiquitous for field medics, ships, and the like within 100 years.
living in a self-sustaining ecological-aware community that values freedom and diversity and everyone having their needs met
A lot of black mirror stuff.
Apologies for the blanket pessimism but the last decades darkened my view.
Nuclear fusion seems increasingly achievable.
They are down to 2 main problems now. The main one is (the cost of) scaling up. Fusion reactors will be more effective then bigger they are. The tiny test ones are already past break even.
The other is wall material. Apparently the radiation has an annoying ability to transmute the elements making up the wall of the reactor. They are working out a material that can maintain its bulk mechanical properties, even with random elements appearing in its internal structure.
Railguns, there already exist prototypes that destroy themselves. So close!
I thought we already had rail guns on ships?
Cancer curing nanotechnology
Ai and eeg can read brain waves generate images already kinda decent, maybe meet the robinsons memory viewer machine.
Direct brain interfaces for, like, VR. So instead of a screen strapped to your face, your visual cortex is just stimulated so you see the game using your own "hardware." A literal Matrix type environment for your mind.
This is either gonna be cool and fun, or scary and evil. But it will exist.
Portable communicators. It would be slick to have a USB c tricorder though.
Download the Phyphox app to access your phones raw sensor data. Very much like a tricorder.
They already have them that you can carry in your pocket.
Asteroid mining. We've had the tech to get people to the asterodi for decades, just lack the will to do it.
This will be useful for all the people over at !leopardsatemyface@lemmy.world
Fully autonomous humanoid robots. Unfortunately with out-of-control AGI they will probably kill me.
It would have been cool to have a benign C3-PO or R2D2.
FTL communication using quantum entangled particles.
Not FTL though. Slower than light, causality preserving version? Sure.
Exoskeletons like Ripley's in Alien. We've got smaller ones, but I want to pilot a walking fork lift.
Pipe dream - battlemechs aka mechwarrior (not pacific rim). Very impractical but I want one anyway. Yes, I saw the robot fighting league by Megabots. I have their poster.
I would guess that we'll most-likely have AGI in 100 years. That's pretty futuristic and impactful.
