Sunday Five - Will We or Won't We?
Inspired by yesterday's posting, what do you think we will see in the near future?
1: We will see self flying or drone, passenger flight?
2: Will we be riding in self driving cars?
3: Will we cut the recharging cable, with devices that charge on their own?
4: Will manned spaceflight return to the moon?
5: Will the average person live to 100 years of age?
My answers:
1: We will see self flying or drone, passenger flight? The flying technology exists, advances are needed in air traffic control. I think we will.
2: Will we be riding in self driving cars? Yes, I think we will (can't wait)
3: Will we cut the recharging cable, with devices that charge on their own? I have been told that the we will, beyond charging mats, charging through the air.
4: Will manned spaceflight return to the moon? Every President talks about it, but no one wants to spend the money, I don't think we will in my lifetime.
5: Will the average person live to 100 years of age? No. More people will, but the average won't hit that point. I have met a dozen people age 100 or older, only one of them had a good quality of life.
Your answers in the comments below:
1: We will see self flying or drone, passenger flight? Mabe, not sure I'd trust that.
ReplyDelete2: Will we be riding in self driving cars? Yes, but not sure I'd be comfortable with that.
3: Will we cut the recharging cable, with devices that charge on their own? My brain hurts.
4:Will manned spaceflight return to the moon? Yes.
5: Will the average person live to 100 years of age? No. Although Olivia de Haviland just turned 102. With the stuff they put in food, I doubt the average will live that long. Society doesn't know how to stop and enjoy life. The average may be late 80's.
1-3: no
ReplyDelete4: yes
5: I WILL!
1: I have no idea having not heard of such until now.
ReplyDelete2: I will be too timorous to do so.
3: Let us hope so.
4: I would like this yes.
