In twenty years, we'll think we used to live in the stone age.
Movies and games and software will be made with AI. They'll look and be better than ever before, and be driven by strong individuals with more diverse tastes that cater to the long tail of human interests.
The forms of entertainment will change. Games will be more immersive: VR, mutable, Hollywood photorealistic, easy for anyone to edit or join in together. Game loops that form as a form of improv.
We're going to have robotics. They're going to live in your home. You'll have a Michelin star chef in your kitchen who gives you new things to eat every night. They'll shop for your groceries and stock your fridge. You'll fall asleep in your car and wake up at your vacation destination. You'll be able to do remote work while road tripping America.
Skyscrapers and public infra will cost next to nothing to build. Manufactured goods will be assembled and delivered on demand. You can design your own car rather than have a mass-produced one.
We're going to modify our biology. We're going to cure our diseases. No more antibiotic resistance because we're faster than evolution. We're going to kill all the bacteria and viruses and parasites that ail us. We'll make inroads on cancer and Alzheimer's.
We're going to scan our brains and memories to share. We'll decode whale language and talk with them. We'll image distant worlds and solve the great problems in astrophysics.
And that's not even the crazy stuff I can't imagine.
Pessimists be damned, this is finally the innovation era once more.
