Society is the reason we no longer advance to be honest.

The theory of only the strong survive is now dead thanks to governments (i.e. welfare, health care, etc.)


But it seems you're just talking inventions and stuff. From your list the only realistic things are self thinking robots and cures for diseases.

Teleportation, light speed travel, finding a habitable planet all not gonna happen (at least in my lifetime)

The strongest don't survive. It is the most adaptable. :P

I don't know what will be next but the progress has kind of really slowed down. The ponzi schemes run by banks and cutting down science reasearch budgets in the western world has hurt quite a bit. 

I think the next or closest we are to next breathough is smart AI. Not impressed with new iphone in general but the Siri assistant is quite a breakthough. It responds much more smartly than most people i know. People these days just say LOLLLLLLL and LMAOOOOO to everything. Idiotic. 

LOLLLLLLLL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!  LMAOOOOOOO!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
