What are some typical depictions of the future that will likely be inaccurate?
I would say robots. They will largely exist, at least initially, as living software.
They will chat and stream on twitch, but won't occupy physical space.
Though they might eventually.

Flying cars are the obvious example.
Holograms, hoverboards, meals in a pill
The whole RFID chip thing seem kinda far fetched because i believe that the more you know about technology the more you hate it (spying. etc) and the only people that would get them would be normies
Anything is possible. The future is unpredictable.
It won't happen, but for a different reason, and it's that smartphones do the exact same thing. There's no reason for you to go through surgery when you're already carrying a phone, like basically everyone does whether they like it or not.
I think you have it backwards, op. Robot bodies will come before humans; emulating the mechanical functions of a human body is much easier than emulating consciousness. They'll be used for dangerous work and, if vrchat is any indication, an excessive amount of coomery.
I honestly think that people will slowly return to low-tech society,
there is so much shenanigans from "big tech" at this point that people
will naturally go the other way.
I already see that huge, like really huge percentage of new generations said :"Fuck that shit!" and slowly just dropping all tech and go out, talk with people, have fun and just avoid all these "modern traps".
Problem is, tech lives in it's bubble and can't see beyond it and beyond that is just an simple fact that people want to live normally..
it's a snake that eats its own tail.
And, I know it's hard to figure that shit out since one is surrounded by tech but as one grows older(and, I'm not talking 50+.. people in their early thirties that were huge tech enthusiasts run away back to nature) one will want to opt out.
Threadly reminder that picrel is a robot.
Don't believe marketing lies.
Dude, robots already exist and are widely used in assembly lines and warehouses.
90% of this board are bots, what are you talking about
At what point is a mechanical arm a robot and not just a programmed mechanical device?
I'm with you, but I think it's a little naive for us to believe that. Seeing all zoomers jumping into the first Skinner box they see.
Video game, porn and social media aren't even treated as real, destructive addictions. It's starting to, but we're a long way from there.
You can't really say "fuck it, trad life now" when half of the jobs rely on building/selling tech products and spending your youth in front of a screen.
>programmed mechanical device
wtf do you think a "robot" even is?
An automata. Others are just robotic devices
A robot is a programmed mechanical device.
A robot doesn't need to be smart.
A robot just needs to do a repetitive task efficiently.
Movies robots are always shown to be sentient and imaginative, but that's a midwit interpretation.
A realistic future of robotics would be collaborative robots : helping humans do their jobs.
Automata is plural
Anyway, the literal definition of an automaton is a self-operating machine designed to automatically follow a sequence of operations, or respond to predetermined instructions.
How are robot arms on an assembly line not exactly this?

Grim
Calling any piece of programmed hardware a robot sounds awkward
that your grandchildren will exist and
if they do exist that they will be free and not mindless automatons
