Transfer human consciousness into an AI or a robot. This way people can stay together for all eternity like the one episode of Black Mirror with the lesbian couple.
Second is time traveling to learn actual history. In this setup you can’t interact with anything or anyone, just observe and watch from a safe distance where your presence isn’t known but you can see them.
Third is teleport to other planets in our solar system. Or to other dimensions to meet our other copies to learn from each other.
Star Trek envisioned a world with unlimited power. Di lithium crystals and antimatter. So much can be done with those.
And at the same time they couldn’t envision data storage and transfer like we currently have. Imagine running an IPAD all around an aircraft carrier because you couldn’t transfer a document. LOL
Artificial Super Intelligence (ASI)cause all the problems the world have is due to people making bad decisions in the past and nobody has the solutions to fix them in a practical method.
So an ASI can provide such solutions and change the world to become a much better place and eventually becoming an utopia that is protected even from the Sun’s death and the death of the universe.
Well, lemme think. I’ve always been fascinated by the concept of teleportation. If you could zap yourself anywhere in the world in an instant, think how that would change everything. You could live in one country and work in another. There’d be no point in long-distance relationships ‘cause long-distance just wouldn’t exist anymore. Imagine all the savings on travel costs. But also, think about the things you’d miss, you know, like road trips, that time squished in a plane seat bonding with strangers over terrible airline peanuts. I guess everything has its ups and downs. But yeah, if I had to pick one, teleportation would probably blow our minds the most.
I’ve always thought that bubble homes would be a game changer. You don’t build a home, you inflate it, like a soap bubble or a bouncy castle. Then it sets in position.
Artificial gravity. I don’t think it’s even a contest. imagine the ability to loft a payload of any weight into orbit with no propulsion. You could have millions of hectares of orbital farming, where it’s always the perfect growing conditions, built planet side and then just lifted into space. The downside of course would be the ability to build megastructures on the planet surface.
Several come to mind: efficient antimatter production coupled with a way to capture energy from a matter/antimatter collision… insane amounts of energy.
Star Trek style replicators: end world hunger, and also eliminate waste as trash and biological waste could be broken down and remade into new items or food.
Artificial gravity: long space flights no longer degrade human bodies due to lack of gravity.
Idk if it would necessarily change the world or even be useful in this day and age but I had a fun thought today. What if we could put 30 second long videos on a print? Like imagine a scrapbook where you turn a page and the videos play on a loop and the paper is the same as a glossy or matte printed 4×6 photo?

Teleportation devices
Food replicators.

replicators. a machine that can instantly make an exact copy of anything.
it would quickly and decisively change every aspect of society.

Mineral food. Food made from coal, oil and gas. Releasing us from our dependency on stock and crops. All our farms get rewilded.
Quantum computing with Ai – When these two come together in a meaningful way, this will be the singularity moment.
A real time lie detector.
Worm holes. These could be used to reach locations, different dimensions, alternate realities, and time travel.
Injectable nanites that could repair internal body damage, cure cancer, heal diseased organs, restore severed spines, etc.
Sexbots.

Tubes in cities like futurama
Real AI ofc.
Teleportation. Believe it or not it has had success on a atomic level. Who knows.
A landlord-eraser-inator
Nuclear fusion that works to create more power than it consumes. We are close to it and it would change everything.
Quantum computing
Accelerate biological evolution.
