How will technology better effect us in the future?

What advances in technology will make the world a better place in 30 - 50 years?
What advances in science will help us? Cures for cancer? AIDS?

How will it POSITIVELY affect us in the future?

The advances in technology are not the real issue. In fact cancer has been cured many times over already, but the government does not want U to know that because it would stop the money flowing into research and treatments of patients, (Long story there, but U go research this on your own) AIDS was man-made in the first place -- don't even get me started on that one. What mankind needs is common sense, and to stop polluting. Then we could focus on the basics like food/water/shelter.
So until humans stop being greedy and can love their fellow man, it does not matter what technology we come up with. Human beings have been going downhill spiritually ever since the start of the industrial revaluation. I am not against new technology, I just do not see where it has uplifted humans as a whole. Only those at the top of the food chain benefit. All U have to do is take something as simple as disposable baby diapers to see how lazy that made moms in general, and how bad they are for the landfills. Very polluting. Did U know that people who tour the plants that manufacture those diapers have to wear special suits like the farmers wear when handing poison chemicals?
There are so many things that the general public is so blissfully ignorant of. Look at the robots being used in war -- they are going to get better and better. So will we stop having wars? Don't think so. The next thing that will happen is major fighting over the basics of life -- water, food, land, space for daily living. That is going on already in some parts of the world, and if we do not open our eyes and do something about it now, it will only get worse and spread.

Technology is growing every day. right now people are working on Light transfers. So you get fios right now (fiber optics) what people are doing is using Light to store information because you can put vast amount of information in to light. So with this new light technology computers will be up to 1000x or 1,000,000 times faster. This new light technology should be coming out in the next 20 years. Because light is the fastest thing that can travel in the universe. This can affect out future to maybe connect with other galaxy's to search for possibility of life. Also research in cancer is vastly growing because that cancer can live up to 1000 years and trying to reverse the effect in cancer. With Aids.. aids. just use a condom.

Medical tech....I may have been born too late to be helped, but, I am diabetic, and would love a new pancreas. HOPEFULLY, now that Obama is in office, we can proceed with stem cell research, and find cures to many of the ailments that plague society now.

Flying cars....yep....flying cars.

This is a real possible future at hand if we aren't all careful.
