Nobody has a crystal ball, but we can all dream. It's so fun to think about what might come to pass in the next couple of decades. Personally, I'm hoping for a dream recording machine. I feel like we can't be that far away from it, what with AI image generation and all. We just have to figure out a way to translate brainwaves into keywords for images. Guys, I feel like I'm 75% of the way there. Another thing I'd love to see is the ability to take things from the television directly. You see an outfit on a character? You can 3D print it at home in a matter of minutes. They're eating something delicious? The food particles will somehow transfer into your kitchen. 

We're definitely a little farther from that, but I'll wait. But some things seem like sure guesses. What follows is a collection of what Redditors think will happen in the next 50 years.
