very hard to do as different cancers will have different responses to chemo. we use alot of biologics for many cancers, rather than the harsh chemical based ones. plus rare or uncommon ones are hard to treat.
Hopefully AI.
Well the generative ai chatbots we have nowadays maybe
It's just first generation stuff. there will be other better waves in the future
I'm hoping social media (the shitty algorithmic kind like facebook) vanishes.
Its a fucking cancer on society
Monkey paw: Social media instead gets replaced by "AI" chatbots. People stop talking to each other directly, instead living in a fantasy world where they pretend the "'AI' assistant" is their servant that'll relay messages to other people, I mean we already have people that, instead of typing the message, they say "Hey siri, send a message to [X] about [Y]". People stop having relationships, instead, they'll "marry" their "AI" assistant, who will also become their "best friend" and "therapist".
Dictating a text to send (word-for-word) is usually an accessibility thing, or for when you can’t text or call for safety reasons like when driving.
The enabling attachment to fictional characters via AI is dangerous though, I agree.
There were people showing images that their AI agent created to show the AI's "perspective" on the relationship with its human. A high number were romantic or at least a deeper relationship between a human and their tools.
Hopefully I'll be dead by then
There was this social media platform in which all your friends are ai. Absolutely terrifying.
Everyone on Lemmy is a bot except you.
Wake. up.
/just kidding lol (or am I? 🤔)
Cars with an internal combustion engine, at least in most countries.
So you're saying ICE will be gone in ten years?
Yeah. Obsolete might happen, irrelevant will take a decade or two more minimum.
I don't know, man. I know we are speed running history at this point, but I'll be very surprised if ICE isn't still rounding up people illegally in ten years.
If your ICE is making unusual sounds, go to a mechanic or choose a more immigrant-friendly government.
VCRs. I predict that everyone will instead watch movies transmitted via satellite directly into the brain.
Did you time travel here from the 80s?
I would love to attend a few days back in the 80s doing shit i should have appreciated more at the time.
Like? Most of the 80s stuff I can think of still exists, just isn't fashionable anymore. Or do you mean just to be younger?
Existing isn't the same as ubiquitous.
Being unreachable. Finding cool things because you walked or drove past instead of on the internet. The front and back (good/less good} side of an album. Cheap dates. Yeah, a lot of it stuff you can still do, but not really the same.
Internal combustion engine
damn this would be nice.
Sadly I suspect we'll have assholes here clinging to their petroleum powered smog makers until the apocalypse. because vroom vroom is more important than having an ecosystem.
yeah, they're that fucking dumb.
edit: aw the vroom vroom downvote is sad lol
Not in ten years hell no
most governments are doing everything in thier power avoid retiring ice engines, because of all that sweet oil/gas money.
If only
I don't think I could have answered this 10 years ago either, and if I was able to predict the rise of K-cups and demise of physical recording mediums I could've made a nice profit.
Edit: Which is kind of interesting, because I have lots of tech predictions in general. They just tend to exist away from consumer choice and the vagaries that go with it.
Social media
Please
ISPs. Internet access will just be assumed and expected as a basic utility rather than a paid extra service.
In ten years? God I hope so, but I doubt it. Maybe in 20+ years
10 years ago, I might have argued for 10 year to get to that point. Now? I'm with you. Two decades minimum.
Plot twist: all personal and work internet access is free! (when channeled through the 7g gubbmint chip implanted in your brain at birth)
SD cards. They won't be completely gone, but will probably be regulated to pro cameras and a few niche applications. As storage goes, hard drives outside of data centers. Right now they are still hanging in there as cheap external storage for things like backups, but in 10 years they'll probably be gone in that application.
Fluorescent lighting. Granted it's already on the way out, but in 10 years you may have trouble finding bulbs and your only options for an old fluorescent fixture will be either to replace it or an LED retrofit kit. Possibly the same thing will apply to sodium vapor lighting.
Manual transmissions. While the internal combustion engine will probably still be hanging in there, my guess will be finding a new car with more than 2 pedals might be a challenge.
if you count AI as a tech, LLMs, crypto, and probably VR again. things we wont accomplish in 10 years, despite fusion being a thing we are far from using it from a power source, probably several generations. in most shows and media, it takes an aliens with advanced tech to finally get fusion in any usable form.
Possibly sim cards! More and more phones have the option for e-sim, which companies seem to want to push on us.
I feel like this is just a step towards getting back to phones that are hard linked to a provider like we used to have. Swapping a SIM makes it too easy to switch.
