I was trying to make a mini-timeline of future invention predictions from 2017-2050. Each year should have one future invention/technology/discovery, from now until 2050. A total of 33 ideas. Be creative. Thanks

Here’s the closest approximation to your request:
This is the timeline for my fictional Netec 2045 universe. It's mainly inspired by Ray Kurzweil's predictions, but has its own flavour due to my focus on the economic and social innovations unleashed by the nets, decentralized organizations driven by advanced collective intelligence. At its current state, it's not based on serious research, but more on my own informed intuition.
2019: - Autonomous cars are legalized throughout the EU.
2021: - The advanced cryptocurrency Aura launches. It is …
Currently I’m not pursuing Netec 2045 further, but have reused most of the ideas for my current Canonical Coherence project:
I'm in the process of building a science fiction world tentatively called "Canonical Coherence". It's a mostly utopian transhumanist futurist vision of the future more than two centuries ahead, fundamentally based on a very fancy and speculative philosophical premise: There is a unique provably true universal value system – and we will have found it. For a certain sense of "we". Only the "wise", sophisticated superintelligences, understand the universal value system theorem and its proof. It's t…
This is the official thread for the technological developments within Fractal Cosmos. It needs some preliminary reasoning:
No hard technological Singularity
Developing new technologies is assumed to be extremely hard within Fractal Cosmos. Hyperexponential growth of our capabilities to develop new technologies through artificial general intelligence (AGI), increasing speed of computation, and expansion into space is more or less matched with an equally hyperexponential growth of the difficult…
This thread is a timeline for the main interesting societal, political, and similar events in the Fractal Cosmos universe.
