I created a poll on my website to see what inventions people expect to exist within their lifetimes. The results were pretty close to what I expected in terms of probability. I'd be interested in what other inventions people can think of that will exist in the near future. Are these percentages about what you'd expect?

Which of these inventions do you expect to exist in your lifetime?

Humanoid robot companions

39%

Brain-computer interfaces that allow direct communication with technology

28%

Reliable weather control (e.g., preventing hurricanes or droughts)

11%
