Ask HN: What technology do you think will be invented in the next 50 years?
Sci-fi or not, it doesn't matter!
I believe we'll see the ability to print silicon chips and PCBs at home, and single board micro-server racks.

1. Controlled thermonuclear energy (bye oil, hello new crysis in eastern oil backed countries)
2. New type of batteries (hello flying drone taxis, bye old cars, planes and ways of transportation, bye ineffective “alternative” energy)
Unless the definition of AGI will be bent to fulfill the craving.
Just like we've become skeptical of new medical procedures, drugs or products, we'll become skeptical about the supposedly beneficial impacts of technology on society and nature.
We'll reason about the second and third-order impacts of our behavior and try to change them accordingly, helping each other along the way.
This is pure fantasy but wouldn't it be nice.
2. More efficient, cheaper home solar panels, battery wall, EVs, heat pumps, to achieve net zero at home.
3. AR glasses that are not nerdy, and actually useful in the real world.
4. AI technology that fact checks every social media post.
Unless the world approves and agrees to support monopolies
it's strange to see this question in the gpt era.
well, how about a jinn that is able to construct a seed of a self-replicated spaceships with a warp drive while you're drinking your coffee? ;-)
