Most of those'll be void after we increase our neural-net/cognitive modelling development...
I hear futurology is set to make massive leaps and bounds over the years ahead.
You're with stupid. ▲
Is that because of the personal jetpacks and hovercars? Or they can spend more time developing tech whilst their domestic robots handle all the chores at home?
Soldiers, sure but atheletes - think how long they train their own bodies for to know how it works and interacts..
I think we're actually realising the limitation and risk of interfering - think Heisenberg Principle.
The Telegraph has been infiltrated by a Daily Mail writer - is the reason crops need to be grown vertically because of all the immigrants?
Already exist.
I think most people have agreed this is unwise at it'd have a knock on effect globally - so it's a really dumb idea.
Already exist.
Good diet and revisting memory kinda fixes a lot of this. The nature of memory is improving but a surgeon to create the changes is just daft. It'll be daft to go to the trouble of tissue trauma when counsellors, nurses and such can already extend this a lot more than people seem interested in.
Seems like Paranoia.
Already exist.
What's a Private School then?
Already exists, it's called reality.
Well, when I look at the list what I see are the ideals of the baby boomer generation being used to address the fears of the baby boomer generation trading in the currencies percieved by the baby boomer generation.
To make my point plainer - these suggestions would be made by the Amstrad of the future, so what does that make the people who figure these ideas are of worth? Future Amstrad customers
Current research indicates what we think of as us isn't us, we've got memories of stuff but that's been learnt by successive components much like staff joining and leaving a company. "We do it this way". So thoughts on extending life will change in the coming decades.
Current thinking on flow is moving towards the concept that chasing increasing technical superiority and ease of living has had a detrimental effect on real happiness.
Notions of ownership of children is changing, but think on it, a person controlling enough to inflict his prejudices on a child is not going to feel comfortable entrusting "his" DNA (and risk of it's degredation) on a system that's not been shown to work for a number of generations in humans.
The whole ethos of working will have to change, the unfocussed tun up for an entire day, living a Walter Mitty life on the web, go home and complain about a grueling day thing will change to doing a task, getting recognised for that and going home early.
The work being done on memory is really interesting because it's going to lead to accepting the prevalence of psychopathy in society and how for the most part these people lead healthy lives - except I suspect where memory is concerned.
Bullshit filtration Officer?
Not a new idea. The Incas did it .... in the UK it could lead to fresh cheap food production as land is very expensive. And they're doing it in Singapore.

That's terracing, it works a treat in the southern hemisphere as the crops are high yield so don't require machinery... I just don't see the requirement for it at the present.
i dont think "delimiter" means that - maybe ive been using it wrong
