Future World in 2030?

[Haagen Diaz]

Wow, in future, robots soldiers will replace human soldiers. Very scary.

 

[StarSeeker]

& then, they will turn against us.

 

[Providence]

That technology is still a long way to go. We wouldn't be around to witness the machines turning against us. Our descendants will witness that instead. So don't worry.

Hmm....u sure? I dun think so. Technology speeds up already now.

What do you think? The process may take place in 2013/2014.

So it may tell us that it is possible that robots may be completed in NEAR future. Never underestimate anything possibilities.

Humans become enhanced in such a way that we no longer need food to sustain our biological selves.

Haagen Dazs becomes obsolete.

 

[Haagen Diaz]

In future 2030s, food and water may be scarce in certain countries. Future machines will control humankind with evil humans.

Evil extreme terrorists will cause more damages and worries.

Besides, RFID chips will be implanted in right hand or forehead to control and keep track of humans' movements. So scary.

What do you think of future 2030s?

Maybe processor singularity will come to mankind in 20 years time.

Your four prediction cancels each other out.

BTW food and water already scare in some countries now.

If future machine controls human, why would a small subset of human be controlling the rest with it? Please note we are already somewhat controlled by a small subset of humans. So what is new?

Why would there be terrorist if RFID chips is implanted in all human? Wouldnt the implant let the law enforcers know who is terrorist and help in the arrest?

Why would machine who control all human allow there to be terrorist? Wouldnt terrorist lower the efficiency and effectiveness of its control?

So whats the role of food and water scare in the future? if machine controls all human, wouldnt there be a more efficient distribution system?

Hyperinflation...

Wow, in future, robots soldiers will replace human soldiers. Very scary.

Me thinks that it would be the problem of hyperinflation happening in Singapore, that would really be enough to kill us all...

Pictures of Hyperinflation in Zimbabwe: Hyperinflation In Zimbabwe

Greece borrowed too much, so now the sick go untreated and the jobless rummage bins for food; all because the Greek government has run out of cash for vital public services.

Zimbabwe I understand is a 3rd world country, so even without currency, people can still return to farming.

Imagine a Singapore unable to afford essential public services, not joking, but I think that that would be the end of the world for all of us here.

Just my 2c,
C6.

Hmm I dont think hyperinflation would be an issue in singapore in 2030. Yes inflation is on the rise and will continue to be. But hyperinflation is one of the most extreme forms of inflation and I think the government would be able to control it.

An issue in 2030 could be outflux of talent. If singaporeans dont feel a strong enough sense of belonging and ownership to the country and the grass gets greener on the other side.

Robots seem to far a stretch too i feel?

What do the rest of you think?

 

[cherry6]

When the banks fail, Singapore will surely follow suit....

[emphasis in quote mine]

Zimbabwe borrowed $$$ thinking that their GDP will balloon so much, they'd easily return the foreign currency that they borrowed, Greece I believe thought the same.

Zimbabwe ended up printing Z$ with the highest denomination at Z$100Trillion in about Feb2009, and then some more (they tried but failed), and whether Greece will leave the Euro or drag the entire Euro down is still in debate.

Hyperinflation or not, I don't think that the world would be a peaceful place if inflation rears its ugly head (Zimbabwe) or if vital government services are curtailed because of shortage of funds (Greece: funds are first used to pay interest on national debt valued at approx 160% GDP).

The US is taking the lead to print jobs through printing $$$, Japan is now doing the same, China is accused by US of currency manipulation when they simply match dollar printing with Yuan easing (printing)... so anyone there tell me that SG govt is the special case that DOES NOT print $$$? Then why have SG foreign reserves ballooned so much> Pls go check out M1, M2, M3: measures of money supply (volume) in the world today (see the exponentially rising charts in every state). As the supply of money increases, prices will automatically rise as the rising tide of currency supply rises (Zimbabwe in degree was an extreme but no less a pertinent case in point).

PM Lee has already alluded to using SG reserves to bail out banks: too big to fail and too big to jail: they just have to threaten collapse at the same time for the doors of the MAS treasury to be opened:
Lee Hsein Loong: "'if all the banks threaten to die at the same time, governments cannot help but go and rescue them', as they did in 2008 and 2009." ['Regulating tightly 'not always feasible'' (ST 08Oct2012)]

Ever tried paying for your electricity by barter with eggs; when the time comes, then you'll know what I mean, by then, even having eggs to spare would be a pipe dream, life would be most painful for those who live in the developed world....

PM Lee loves his 'too big to fail, too big to jail' banks, so when banks fail, Singapore will surely if not automatically, follow suit.

Sorry for the late reply. Tell me how we are already controlled by a small subset of humans?
The humans will control the future machine to control or monitor the movements of humans or kill them with heat senor on its radar.

Who knows the terrorist may hack into and grab the control the RFID to spy and control and kill the humans?

Machine controls the humans, will control the food and water distribution but not to everyone, you know?

From my previous posting, what I meant is, "extreme terrorists cause more damage and worries." ---> the terrorists will grab the control power of RFID to monitor and control the human movements.

 

[Haagen Diaz]

Cherry6, you say "problem of hyperinflation happening in Singapore", if it will really happen here and worldwide...RFID will be born into monetary system.

It will become cashless system.

Now USA is in high debt of trillion.

In China, long long long ago, the commoners use gold and silver ingot as real money, u know? Now, people worldwide use currency dollars.

Barter then gold and silver, then dollars, and then currency dollars and finally future cashless system via RFID.

seriously, a simple technology feat becomes a playground for non-techy end-of-world mongers...

 

[XkennX]

I think by the time all these advances become common in sg we already become ash liao

...

A small subset of people passes law in parliament, isnt it?

In what way, are we controlled by a small subset of people?
