Technological Weirdtopia: Artificial Intelligence is deemed to be an impossiblity. Any form of technology that relies on random access is plainly futile. The efforts of humanity over the last 100 years have been proven to be fruitless. Search engines break down and for some reason only begin to function at a very primary rudimentary level, not anywhere near the efficiency of Google.
However, data storage is a field in which remarkable strides of progress are made. What once took the entire internet to store can now be stored in a micro chip (even today the entire information on the internet does not take too much space )and the amount of information that has been recorded in human history is increasing super exponentially. However, the amount of information is rapidly reducing.
There then develops a technocrat class whose speciality it is to learn and retain in memory large chunks of information, and these are then employed by large corporations in lieu of R&D departments.
Smart phones will no longer be smart, but all phone calls all over the world would simply be free.. there is just that much additional bandwidth. No service company exists any more, there simply is just a mass of optic fibres and cables running the world over, giving even the poorest free phone calls. Similarly, its very easy to send your photos all over the world, to anybody at extremely high vivid, life like resolutions. However, it is far more difficult ( to be read as “impossible”) to pull out the picture of that cutie pie with blue eyes and dimple smile whom you were “sooo into” last month.
Ground breaking inventions are created, perfected and then simply lost, leaving the inventor and the world at a loss until somebody comes along and does the exact same thing ten minutes later. It is ridiculously easy for anyone to change their identity, as plastic surgery , retinal chromatographic surgery, epidermal coloration surgery etc. have all been made possible easy and accessible to the common man. Or at least that was the case last week. No one has a fixed identity any longer as no one can keep track of who does what.
The jail system works in a rather strange manner. Terms are extremely short, but horribly unpleasant. Various versions of the Ludovico treatment have been found to be used. No one remembers on whom though. Nevertheless, the fear of such torture is enough to keep people from walking down the road leading to a life of crime. At least for the most part.
Surges in renewable energy have made energy so abundant that it would be cheap and affordable for the whole planet, if they could only find an effective way to transmit all the electricity. Unfortunately, most of the energy is wasted and there has not been no advance whatsoever in storage technologies, rendering the entire system a waste.
There has been significant advances in biotechnology, not only do they have the know how to create new cells and organs, it is no possible to bio-engineer specific custom designed species, combinations of Darwin’s finches and Crocodile Hunters best friends which were not thought to be possible by the illuminati of the previous century.
