Shhhhh......careful.

1. 2114.
2. Never.
3. Never (not counting light particles which they apparently already do).
4. He will die first.

 

[JSTpt1022]

1. 2034 (I'm actually optimistic that this one is coming that soon. Of course, they will only be allowed in specially assigned lanes and highways. It will be a Lexus)

2. Never.

3. 2612 the first cloned pig is successfully transported from MIT to CalTech. 2620, human transport systems begin to be used by the military. 2624, the first civilian systems begin to be sold to the super-wealthy. 2626, transporters are put in place in transport terminals in cities throughout the world.

No, no, no. MIT would never give CalTech anything, much less a highly valuable first-ever-teleported pig!

Why would we have such advances in technology but not in medicine? Medicinal advances like cures for AIDS and cancer seem much more tangible.

Ok, ok. It's the cure part I take issue with. I don't think we'll ever have an actual cure for AIDS. I think a genetically created immunity is more likely.

1. This technology is already here. Sensor on car and in road knows distance to car infront, speed, Global Position, etc. Not sure why it is not out yet except for the retro they have to do on the roads first. It will probably be the next big boom after this MPG crunch. I am guessing 2016.

2. There already is a way to prevent AIDS. Change your lifestyle = no more AIDS. There will never be a cure.

3. I have seen a video of a 3d holographic TV. Believe it or not my Physics professor in college enjoyed Star Trek for the main reason that everything had a sound physics basis. Phasers, holograms, shields, and even teleporters in the show are based off of real world physics. They are all theoretically possible, however, technically we are still quite a ways off. I predict this one is at least 100 years still in the future.

1. Like flashnolan said, the technology is already in place. Saw it on some documentary years back. Sensors on car and in road. And Toyota has recently created a car which parks itself, so maybe in the near future sensors in the road won't be needed thus making the technology much easier to be implemented.

2. Like some has already said, even if pharmaceutical companies created a cure, they won't mass produce it or else they'll go bankrupt.

3. Actually some guy managed to teleport a small block of mass which I think is steel from one place to another maybe about 1 meter. The technology he used was to disassemble the block and reassemble them in another area. So this technology is gonna be almost impossible to be done on humans as our bodies are soooo complicated, as if disassembling a body part isn't hard enough to reassemble again, what about our DNAs.

 

[Rock&Roll Ninja]

1. Already have them

2. 1995. But its worth more to treat so they hold it back.

3. 2006

Prediction #1
I predict that I will eat a ham sandwich before this day is over.

Prediction #2
I predict that you will fall in love with the sound of my beautiful voice.
Too bad you cannot hear it.

whoa. where'd you hear about that?

 

[colonelkernel8]

Of course there will be a cure for aids people. Nanotechnology.

 

[stewgriff]

1. Already possible, as posted before

2. On the people saying the cure for AIDS is held back for profits, that's a very sad (but entirely possible) view. But why? The wave of fat Americans/rich people worldwide with diabetes, heart failure, etc. will bring far more money to the pockets of the pharmaceuticals.

OTOH, we already know of certain genes that make people resistant, or in rare cases effectively immune, to AIDS. It seems that their T-cell receptors have modifications that keep from interaction with the HIV virus. If that knowledge could be applied...

3. I doubt it will happen in the foreseeable future. Maybe after 2100...
