    Not much different. Foldable phones will be widespread, American cars will be bigger, shaving machines will have more blades, natural disasters will be more common. We will go through one or two more cycles of drought/forest fires and heavy rains/floodings. We will see one or two mass migrations from India, Pakistan and Africa resulting in first climate refuge camps on the borders of EU.

      shaving machines will have more blades

      I wish they’d just work out how many blades is the optimum number of blades, and then put that number of blades on. Why are we doing this iterative design approach.

        It’s one. I’d been annoyed with razor burn, nicks & cuts, spots, etc. I switched to a simple double sided safety razor and I’m really enjoying it. As far as I’m concerned all this 8 blade turbo fusion slice and dice is all marketing.

        Flying cars are a terrible idea. We can barely keep them rolling on the ground. Do you really want several tones of metal floating above your head?

          Yes. Every single day, almost every person I see driving is looking at their cell phones or holding them at their mouth talking. I mean those odds should be astronomical, but it’s more common than not. Imagine adding another dimension of travel to that…

        We have flying cars right now they’re called helicopters. You just don’t have one because they’re expensive.

        Yeah, as the pinnacle of human achievement, we need to bring traffic congestion to the skies.
