Will they?

"Cool Tech" has only really been a thing since the 1940s or so, following several millenia of stagnation, and Moore's Law is rapidly decaying.

Sometimes. It's weird to think that I will spend the rest of my life in this same century

I feel like I will miss out on cool 2100s things. But then I realize that you can say that about living in any point in history. No matter what there will always be a future time you can't see. People in the 22nd century will wish they could see the 23rd. Maybe 22nd century people will get to explore the solar system but die before we explore the rest of the Galaxy, which 23rd century people might do

Sadly every single person alive today probably will never get to see the true space exploration age. The best we might witness is the beginnings of moon and Mars colonization

More internet focused even than now. People might have internet connections in their brains that let them see images only seen by them in front of their faces.

People starting to live on the moon. Maybe a city or 2 there. And a spaceport that launches from there ships headed to Mars for science colonies

Imagine all the cool tech we can get accustom to and eventually feel entitled to :0.

But foreal, if you don't appreciate that tech enough now that you gotta daydream about future tech than you'd be doing that same exact thing in 2100 with that modern tech. The leaps in technology distributed to regular consumers we've already lived through is insane. Appreciate that bruh :3

I still say that the inevitable destination of gaming technology is Holodecks from Star Trek. However long that takes to make, that's where it's all headed someday

It's not unthinkable. I would have to live to 111 but some people live several years longer. Just s few years ago we still had a handful of people alive who were born before 1900.

But anyway, I don't anticipate 2100 being that advanced. At least not from an average civilian's perspective. Different in fashion, sure, but if I simply extrapolate my last 30 years over the next 81, nothing has really changed except for quantites, so not a lot would be expected to change tbh except for quantities.

In '89, we more or less had Internet, though the standards weren't as sophisticated yet, we had video games, we had cameras, we sent data wirelessly, we had digitized all forms of media, etc. etc.

We still don't know how to cure cancer, we still haven't done anything new in space (just done it farther away), cars still don't fly, etc. etc.

The only differences were your camera, telephone and transceiver weren't all the same device, it took longer and was harder to download stuff, and you had like a thousandth the terrible opinions and trivial information drowning you at all times.

GPS is big, 3D printing is medium, and the driverless car will be good if they ever f***ing roll them out on a large scale, which I'm frankly starting to lose hope for.

Military technology has made great strides but don't expect to see civil laser cannons or lightning guns. And I'm sure medicine has made awesome strides but the average civilian doesn't know or have any reason to care.

Sure, they're gonna make new stuff but it'll mostly just increase download speeds or whatever. I have no idea why on Earth people make futuristic fiction and put hilariously short timeframes on it that we miss by decades if not centuries every single time.

I dunno, being a caveman doesn't sound that bad really.

I mean, if you can deal with a growling stomach for a day, you can skip work and draw on the walls all day without worrying about your boss comparing the amount of vacation time everyone has taken the next time layoffs come, and how many months it will take to get hired again in the crappy job market and blah blah.

You are severely underestimating advances in technology. Tesla will be deploying robo taxis by fall of next year, they are set to disrupt the transportation industry by cutting the costs of transportation to less than 20 cents per mile. In comparison, Uber charges 2-3$ per mile right now. Right now, medical records are being uploaded to DBMS software, this means a revolution in the medical industry is coming because simple artificial intelligence software will give doctors access to medical interventions that work and take less of the guess work out. I can go on, but the difference between now and a few years from now and the early 90s won't just be simple things like signal strength and application accessibility, the whole world is currently undergoing another industrial revolution.

If things continue at the pace they currently are it's very likely that people alive today could live to biblical ages. We're talking about longevity and reverse aging interventions. Interventions that'll be better everytime. Say you get a shot that extends your healthy lifespan 20 years, so that when you're biologically 60 you're physically and mentally 40, by the time you reach 60 again that intervention will be even better and could bring you back to your 20s.

All this means is that medicine is finally getting out of the stone age. Everyone else has been doing this crap for ages. You can't really call it groundbreaking when they're literally the last industry to adopt it.

Considering we're teetering on the brink of possible collapse through a variety of reasons, now might be the best time to ever live in human history. If we make it through the next 80 years, then it will suck to miss all the future tech. Hopefully cryogenics or cyborgs will be much more mainstream in the next fifty years to greatly increase the chance of existing into the future.
