You swirl words around your tongue?... oh wait now that I typed that I get it... I probably should have just deleted it and started over... oh well, too late now, I've gone too far... When this technology is adopted into wide use, you'll be able to take a pill that will give you nearly the same experience as reading. You will be able to get instant recall pills for thing's that are difficult to put into words, math concepts ect, but you'll also be able to get entertainment pills of almost any kind. Though it may have an initial spike of popularity, I think this will be a niche market. I just don't see people wanting single use anything in the future.

If you ever want to connect and talk about this I'd be down even though it's 7 years later lol

i hope bacon will be an option

..but then you all of a sudden you know everything about Kevin Bacon...

breaneainn Realy? Same goes with Apple flavor?

footageisland yeah but who is Kevin Apple?

Daniel Aparicio Just Apple...

That's gonna happen soon, mate. Think about it: from that point onwards, every single bit of information produced by humanity will be stored and made accessible to anyone.

David Chen You don't need that much knowledge, you just need to open your mind.

Depends on the level of education. If all people know how repair a socket, we will never reach another galaxy. If all people in a world understand Quantum physics, maybe we will.

He will eat this world*

But, we have flying cars. There have been a lot of working prototypes in the last years (maybe they're a bit noisy, but that's about it): we have achieved it. Fact is, humans can barely drive cars in 2-dimensional roads, let alone adding an additional dimension: we'd probably need an automated driving system (as it's already happen for normal cars, anyway), and, even with that, there would not be real advantage in using them. It is very different with these hypotetical pills though. Their uselfulness would be enourmous.

We do have flying cars, they’re called helicopters or small planes. And if you look at drones, many companies are making single and dual seat passenger drones. Furthermore, Nicholas never said anything about flying cars… Go back and watch his 1984 TEDTalk, it will give you goosebumps… He literally describes everything we are using today and exactly how we use it.

Jean-Luc Maske-Stockdale yeah that sounds so Matrix🤔. Wonder what the world would be like if it happens and no school ! I really hope we won’t be fighting AI :(

+Balkanyogurt Man Teachers might be out of the job perhaps? With the movement towards more easily accessible technology it is my guess that the world will be looking at a job crisis.

+Balkanyogurt Indeed, I have to agree. This increasing socialist movement in America is one of the largest threats to prosperity. If it continues I believe it will inevitably lead to our own self destruction...

+Balkanyogurt Man After watching the video you provided, I believe I've gotten a better grasp on what you hope society will eventually become. However it still poses many issues that humanity will have to try and overcome. My belief of what will happen to society can be found in this video: watch?v=cXQrbxD9_Ng Despite me being in disagreement with some of the speakers solutions, I still think that the elimination of jobs via bots might be an issue that we face. Perhaps I'm to closed minded to see an economy/civilization succeed without Capitalism providing income for individuals at its forefront. Good discussion my friend! :)

ceo of treyarch right?

The CEO of Treyarch is called Adam Arnold, yes :)

wow thats awesome

i actually have a question, i had been contemplating buying the juggernog edition of the new black ops 3 and i noticed that its not for the xbox 360 and its only for xbox one and ps4 so I have been trying to save for the juggernog edition and also have so save for the xbox one and thats really hard for a 13 year old kid to save like 600 dollars in 4 months.

knowledge is constantly being acquired if all you do is take in old things which everyone knows then you just like every other loser right now not pursuing knowledge.

"A human is born to struggle in life" Probably the saddest thing I've heard in a while.

There is always something new to learn and create. Imagine a man from the 1500s ingesting the pill of the world's knowledge until that time. Now imagine a man in the 1800s; now, in the 2000s; now, in the 2200s and so on. Each one of them creates new knowledge that is going to be learned by the next generation. This is how we have been doing it for milleniums but at a much slower pace. Imagine if we can shorten the time that we take for learning. Everybody would be more intelligent in less time and we would exploit the time difference doing practical things instead of learning. But first, let's see if our goverments will allow this knowledge reach every corner of the world. Well, that is another point, imagine all of us knowing a looooot of things and the people that rule the world worried about it. It would be fun for sure. That is a whole new civilization. I want to live there!

Thank you for the enlightened, pleasured and appreciated response on my statement, not comperable to the other egomanic and aggressive answers. I dont really meant with my statement that I am totally against these pills. I'm just afraid of what will happen if they really become present and wanted to show another perspective, because every step forward has always a positive and a negative side. What actually will happen we do not really know, but I'm on the one side totally open to new technology and warn on the other side to be always conscious about our handling with it.

King People use to think shallowly and just attack someone else's comment. If we had that pill right now and everybody commenting this post had ingested the pill already, this would be an awesome deep philosophical conversation. About your point: Yes, it is a double-edged sword the consecuences of that pill. Humans would use it for countless objectives, and not always caring for others. I do not know which world would better, absolutely everything would be astonishingly different.

I don't think that's entirely interpretation. Technology is very progressive while adoption occurs when the combination of "good enough" technologies converge you hit a plateau. The first iPhone came out in 2008, that's a relatively short time, your also only focusing on one company, while it hasn't reached that "good enough" convergence, smart watches are just about there and eye wear is only a few years behind. Smart phones existed a decade before they took off.

I don't see smart watches as something new. We have nearly mastered developing ICs with silicon and metals. The tech in computers hasn't changed it has just become more efficient. "Smart phones existed a decade before they took off." Thats my point. Nothing has changed on the technological side for over a decade. The tech to be able to download newspapers and books over the internet existed in 1995 but it simply wasn't a need or interest of the population because they were still dealing with new things like answering machines, and digital TV.

Graham Fraser yes the ability to download books existed, but no one wants to read a book on a giant boxy monitor, we needed tablets and e-readers for it to take off. The innovation of truly game changing devices is pretty rare, but the technology behind the scenes is flying almost faster than anyone can keep up. I've talked to PhDs that come back from conferences depressed cause they feel like their whole field changed in the few months they were working on one tiny thing. (not realizing it took a thousand people moving it tiny amounts) genetics is moving at an even faster rate (it seems to my perception).

?????????????????????????

THERE'S WAY MORE THAT JUST THAT!

Some touch screens use whats called Quantum Tunneling which was only understood in the past decade and a half. So even if you believe it the Milestones in tech are still required.

The bases for these so called pills already exist: Neurology and Nanotechnology. Those two have developed a lot, and just might be a able to produce machine to brain information transfer devices, which could come in the form of pills.

Take it easy guys! The idea is not that wild. But about the 30 years I can not judge. Let's dream.

***** Its true that in many senses biology is still at the nursery, but truth be told biology, that is to say todays biology, really begins only in the 19th century. Evolution, cells, modern theory's and all of that. Humanity has cured a lot of diseases, many of them utterly eradicated from the face of the earth. I agree that 30 years does sound exaggerated, but who knows? Maybe his predictions are not as far fetched as we think them to be. We will have to wait and see.
