I'm trying to make a mini timeline from 2017-2050. Each year should have one future invention. Just one invention every year from now until 2050. No need to explain how it works. Be creative! Thanks!!
does the space station count?, we've been told that we have been sharing the space station swapping out astronauts on occasion for a few years..or do you mean on a greater scale?Frankly, I always thought that in the future, people would live in space. It appears that I was wrong.
We will definitely be doing some reinventions. During the industrial revolution, a lot of inventions existed that don't today. Most of them revolving around transport and engines. The reason being, is because the coal and gas industries monopolized the markets for so long and destroyed any upcoming competition. Only now are we finally seeing electric vehicles emerge after over 120 years of fossil fuel usage - yet electric vehicles were being invented over 100 years ago. Even a lot of our green initiatives are still being backed by the coal and gas industries because they are so heavily ingrained into our society it's hard to get rid of overnight. For example, when you plug in your electric car at home to charge, that electricity is coming from a coal plant.Somewhere around 2050, I am sure we will be reinventing the water mill and possibly the Moldboard plough.
If this were a school assignment, I'd make it funny. Start with some normal technological progression. Then some kind of disruptive technology. Then some reactions to it as people get unemployed or whatever. Then radioactive water cleaning technology, followed by medieval farming reinventions.
I'm pretty sure we do live in space bro. Earth is nothing but a giant organic space ship floating in space. If you landed on another planet, what's the difference besides it being uninhabitable or barren? There is literally zero reason for us to leave this planet because A) we've not found another confirmed habitable planet like our own and B) the destruction of our planet is not imminent. We'll continue sending probes and robots and rovers to explore and gather information but we're not going to live in space.Frankly, I always thought that in the future, people would live in space.

Also, humans are not built to live in space, you couldn't survive for a long time in anti-gravity. Your muscles would deteriorate and become useless. Astronauts on the ISS have to go through rehabilitation when they come back to Earth - they have to learn to do all motor functions over again including walking and eating, and they normally only stay in space for periods of up to a year or so. We're also a far way away technologically speaking, from being able to make areas of space habitable for us: such has having a base on the moon. The ISS is our only space base right now and we routinely have to send them supplies for survival.
