Standardized connector for everything with backwards compatibility
Maglev trains in the US
Recycling that actually works.
Brit on a train; A phone network that would offer a reasonable level of connectivity no matter where you are in the country.
Ours definitely took a few steps back early 2023.
Self driving cars. Ten years ago I said, "we'll have this worked out in 10 years". What a fool I was.
Elmo has claimed to have it for over 10 years now
You weren't a fool, you simply were lied to
Elmo always lies, every second word put of his mouth is a lie. Every project he boasts about has been a lie.
I thought that by now we would've commercialized at scale alternative battery technologies. We're still using lithium ion even for grid storage and EV's.
Also, I expected we would have put a man on the moon by now.
We wouldnโt such a battery development if we had simply invested in a standardised electrified wiring network for the motor roads. we would have lighter cars that charge their ~100 km battery while driving on the motor road so they can easily reach their destination
I was hoping that by now technology and education would have helped all the humans to realize how to take care of each other and work together for a better tomorrow.
Instead we got this fucking mess that's going on right now all around the world.
It's really that. All that technology and we still didn't solve the most primitive and basic problems in this world's community.
More of a pet peeve, but I thought IT would be way more stable by now. Everything has so many bugs and it's just accepted. I've grown pessimistic about new tech and I would prefer to wait a couple years before getting it. It's not novel if it's broken.
Side thought, I thought we would have hologram phone calls by now.
Phones that can be opened up and have internals replaced, like desktop computers
So like the Fairphone?
That one is still exclusive to a few select countries and won't ship to mine :/
Computer phones. As in I just connect to screen and keyboard, and phone is my main desktop.
Cheaper EVs.
Working lab fusion.
Wasn't that something proposed in windows phone? I can't remember and am too lazy to look it up
Like the Motorola Atrix
Too ahead of its time.
Android 16 brings that desktop functionality
If its just for a productivity office type work, samsung phones can do this but it is account locked which is annoying
That's still weak compared to what a phone could really do though.
Absolutely. My phone is more powerful than my family pc from 2007 by a mile

Compassion, empathy, socialism.
Those thin transparent screens you see in sci fi movies.
