11 technologies that may provide you with (near) superhuman powers in the future

genetics

At big sporting events they are already afraid of gene-doping which may become one of the biggest problems.
In the future there may be so many possibilities of genetic manipulation and modification a race of super humans may come in to existence.
How scary this may sound it doesn't have to become a big problem, society changes as technology evolves.
If we look back a few hundred years, the possibilities technology gives us today would have been interpreted as superhuman then.

powersuit

Already in development and prototypes have been build. I heard a type of power suit is coming to market aimed at disabled people in the coming year.
This is not going to be an elegant device for a while, but when the technology improves and becomes smaller we might all be walking around in a powersuit some day.

brain interface

Also already in development and being tested with disabled people and by scientists, it's very possible to detect the radio waves produced by the brain and use them to control
things in your environment. Especially in combination with other technologies this could prove to be the future of interfaces.

nano technology

This is the most promising technology at this moment, according to many this is going to change the world in a way and at a rate which
has never been experienced before. The possibilities of this technology are almost limitless, new medications, ultra strong fibers, cheap energy and what's most
interesting for the subject of superpower: nano machines
nano machines are machines on nano scale (what's in name) these can be complete factory's but it could also be machines in your bloodstream, repairing damage on your body
as soon as it occurs. Instant regeneration in fact! While this may sound impossible, imagine living in the middle ages and being told about curing cancer with radiation.

super fiber

Already in existence, only very expensive. Super light and strong fibers might make it possible to get very close to bulletproof and flying might get a little closer too.
ultra light carry-able flying devices and super cheap bullet proof clothing. Super small fold-able devices can be made with super thin super strong fibers, giving you the gadgets you always dreamed of.

cloaking technology

Theoretically possible, the technology to make things, maybe even yourself some day, completely invisible.
Read my previous post for more info about this.

stem cell technology

If we find a reasonable way to get stem cells for research. this may give us replaceables for our organs and limbs some day. So if you get shot in the line
of superhero duty and you make it back to the batcave in time you can have the damaged goods replaced.

brain implants

Already here, this is a certainty, the brain implant will become mainstream one day. I'm very much convinced about that. Giving memory and brainpower and possibly a lot of fun in the future.
These are already in existence for medical purposes. One day at least the rich will have this goodie to be able to compete for jobs with robots.

superfood

Science will find you the superfoods, possibly genetically engineered that will give you more possibilities. Super efficient food created specifically for your body.
This will make it easier to become a supersporter, maybe provide your body with tailored energy and micro elements to make you achieve at the absolute top of your physical abilities.

virtual reality training

While it will not provide you with instant "I know karate" I think it will be possible in the not to distant future to learn marshal arts from your personal virtual trainer.
Providing feedback for your moves by showing reruns and making corrections easier by showing where your arms, body and legs should have been at what moment.
Maybe even in real time with a 3D virtual you, crossing your moves. This will make the learning of the difficult marshal arts a lot easier.

superdrugs

Drugs as in mind and body altering substances and in medical substances. In the future there will definitely be more substances giving endurance,physical and mental power.
And better medications. Maybe even without destroying your body.


This was it, if you can think of anything else give a cry in the comments!!!
