AI Thread Summary
The discussion centers on the potential technological developments that could significantly impact our lives, with a focus on fusion energy and room-temperature superconductors. Fusion energy, while promising, currently faces challenges such as energy output inefficiency and resource management for the reaction. The "Big Ass Laser" has been utilized for fusion experiments but remains impractical for commercial use. Room-temperature superconductors are viewed as a feasible advancement that could revolutionize electronics. Additionally, the concept of commercial nanobots is highlighted for their vast potential applications, suggesting they could transform various industries and everyday life. Overall, these technologies are seen as pivotal in shaping the future.

Which will be the defining technological moment of the 21st century?

hmm, you can't really beat The Apocalypse in terms of life changing events. :smile:
 
Wow... we are optimistic aren't we?
 
I heard 20010 or 8 they hope to compleat as we Techanchians call a BIg ass laser that is gogint to fuse two hyrdon atoms...or we could just claim we onw the sun thus controllying fusion
 
Superconductors!
 
Well, I think that superconductors at room temperature is feasible and will happen, it will change all of electronics.

I reckon that Fusion is also a good possibility. As far as I know the "Big Ass Laser" also known as BAL has already been used to make fusion happen, it is just impractical on account of using more energy than you get out, and there being some hassles with how to get more tritium and deuterium in and the products of the fusion out, whilst keeping the whole reaction going.
 
I chose commercial nanobots, just think of the uses of such a thing ! (i mean ... almost everything would be possible!)
