5 things you want to see happen in the next 50 years

[JEMC]

Most of my "wishes" have already been said:

• Newer and cleaner power sources_ Things like better solar cells or nuclear fusion.

• Better batteries_ Not only for electric cars but also for mass transport vehicles like trucks or even better, those really big and fuel hungry container ships.

• More focus on space research_ The International Space Station is 10 years old already and I'm not even sure its already finished. Better and bigger space stations are needed as well as lunar (or even mars) colonies.

• Nanotechnology/nanomachines_ I'd love to see nanobots used for medical purposes. They could take care of common diseases (heart attacks, cancer/tumors, etc.) and allow us to live longer.

• Better disaster prediction_ Being able to correctly predict earthquakes or volcanos at least 2-3 days before they happen.
