    Futuristic social concepts

    Discussion in 'Research' started by OurJud, Sep 6, 2017.

    I'd appreciate help brain-storming some futuristic concepts. I'm thinking of things like Suicide Booths (Futurama) / Assisted Suicide Clinics (Soylent Green).

    Not necessarily something that provides a service. Recreational concepts would be welcome too.

    In fact pretty much anything that would furnish a future-set world.

    Thanks in advance.

    Anti-Gravity massage clinics: $2,699.99 per minute, extra for "full body service" ;)

    Museums displaying preserved human bodies from various generations, in a world where everyone's minds were uploaded into cybernetic bodies and flesh is a relic of the past.

    Thank you, folks. Some... uum, interesting ideas there.

    I particularly like @MythMachine's Sense Sharing and many of @FeigningSarcasm's ideas.
