#5Am I the only one who is pessimistic about a superhuman-capability future?
Regardless of the accuracy of the predictions.

We still know little about how memory works, and they speak of tweaking access times and recall? I doubt there will be a breakthrough by 2030.

I remember reading in 2000 that every home would have domotica in 2010.
Yeh, right. I think around as much homes have it today, as there were in 2000.

#9I have the Washington Post from Jan 1, 2000. Below the fold is an article on what the future would hold tech-wise for a child born that day. By 2010, we were all supposed to be wearing wristbands with all of our medical information on it, so doctors would simply have to scan them to gain our history. We also wouldn't have cheap (meaning not thousands upon thousands of dollars) mobile computers with the ability to access the internet from anywhere until 2020.
I can't remember any of the others, but all of the predictions for around now (other then the smartphone one) are completely and totally off. All of these prediction things are bullshit, as most futurist ideas generally are. There's no accountability, because no one will remember the reports. It's ridiculous that the government pays people to write these things, and just as ridiculous that Wired publishes them.
I think SMBC put it best:

#10Every futurist claim I've ever heard has overestimated human capability and underestimated the impact of other things they possibly should have seen coming.
