what future technology are you most looking forward to?

for me, definitely supercomputers in my brain

be able to interface with any computer directly just with my mind, can you imagine playing games with that kind of control? you'd be like a wizard by today's standards

These. I'm very eager to see the day where nanotechnology is an everyday thing. I have thought up many concepts utilizing it for a book I am going to write once I finish the first two in my series. Also, upgrade module that allows for restructuring of certain parts of the body that allow for better movement, strength, spring, speed, etcetera.

Ending aging is much more possible than having fucking supercomputers in your brain (whatever that means).

It is looking more and more likely that many of the major advances in technology will all come at once. They will feed each other.

Advanced super computers allow research to be completed faster. Faster research allows better computers to be made.

The two killer technologies are AI and molecular manufacturing. With these two techs we can create a extremely fast feedback loop which will allow technology to increase exponentially.

One other thing to be aware of is a soon as technology allows it humans will fracture as a species. If technology allows people to build space habitats and alter their own bodies at will then within a few generations humans form two different habitats will barely be recognisable to each other.
