Futuristic inventions

What are five things that will have been invented by 2058? The five items listed in this article will be game changers, they will change how we function and interact with one another. Simply put, in 100 years people will comment that something is the greatest thing since sliced _______________. I will fill in that blank now.

A change of clothes in a briefcases. Sure, that sounds pretty ordinary. It's something we already do (stashing a change of clothes in a bag or suitcase) and doesn't need to be invented. However, there's more to this idea than meets the eye. This will actually be a series of briefcases, Iron Man style, that will transform you into whatever the day calls for. Football uniform. Check, and no need to waste time suiting up! Just step into the shoes that are in the briefcase, press a button and there you go.

Meal pills are not a tablet you swallow with water. They are actually dehydrated meals encapsulated in a clear gelcap. They're all ready to transform a surprise hunger pang into a delicious meal. Just heat and hydrate. To make things even easier, the meals are color coded by type or style of food, so there's no worry about mixing things up and accidentally

Taco Bell will deliver in the future. I mean come on, why hasn't this happened in the past? College kids everywhere would be lining up for this service. It isn't an invention of a product but an invention of a business model that Taco Bell can use to profitably deliver food to hungry chewy, crunchy, cheesey lovers. When I was in college I envisioned a slide system, like shoots and ladders, that would deliver the goodness right to my dorm room for those times when I was too lazy to get food myself.

People will love using the new heat bubbles. They work simply with the concept of someone figuratively stating that they are in their own bubble. A person would be able to zap a climate controlled bubble around themselves that will sustain itself for that winter walk to work, or the blustery hot commute to pick up the dry cleaning after a long day. The climate controlled chambers will allow people to skip the worst weather and it will result in no more weather complaints.

In the future people will be able to buy things simply by allowing a eye scan. The eye scan is linked to all accounts and aids in the need to never carry a wallet again. The retina scan is more safe than cloud base wallet systems because it is not hackable.


There will be many inventions between now and 2058. This list is a short compilation of the first things that came to mind when considering the creative writing question. I may have oversold in the first paragraph, promising that the inventions will be game changers. I had to catch your attention, right? The feasibility of all of the inventions is not necessarily sound, however they are all useful ideas that address pain points.
