Some people think that virtual reality is the future of gaming, but I don’t think it’ll ever really catch on.
And, unfortunately, cartridge based games seem like they’re going to be a thing of the past too. |

Virtual Reality isn't the future of gaming, it's the future of many industries including but not limited to gaming. Technology will continue to evolve, VR will get much better, cheaper, be wireless, and sleek just like cell phones did. We're 10 years away from that but we're getting there.

Yes, PCs are not going to "disappear" but they'll go back to being a niche item like they were say in the late 90s, still very common and prevalent but not literally everywhere. I can see houses having only "one" computer for the kids homework or whatever like back in the day and obviously professions that use computers will have them but casual use for computers? That's already dying. That'll be a few years though. |

As for carts, well it depends what do you understand as cart based games. Switch, I think uses games on "carts", which is not like old NES carts, but still close enough. |

3D printing may be popular now, but I don't really see it as a "game-changing" piece of hardware/technology. At most, people are going to use it to print casual, inanimate objects. That doesn't really scream "innovative" or "futuristic". |

3D printing is definitely a game changer, you're crazy to think otherwise. The tech will continue to evolve, as it is now it's uses are limited but still impressive which include medical ones.

It's already been a huge game-changer for engineering as a whole, in all the fields within it.
We're at a point now where it's coming out of the lab and into the household. Where it will be doing a lot more than making inanimate objects for fun.

I still have no idea what 3D printing actually is. You can really make any object you want out of it?

It's less "printing" and more... elaborate motor-powered thingy goes around pouring stuff in a pre-programmed pattern.

Yeah, but I guess "3D printer" is easier to say than "three-dimensional pre-programmed pattern plastic applicator"

Basically anything that is in style is going to meet a rebellion one day. Kids are going to look at ear tunnels, undercuts, and tattoo sleeves as markers of an aging generation who they will probably find excruciatingly uncool.

... and that's excellent! However, what other technological breakthroughs/advancements will 3D printers bring and/or create? As of now, I'm not sure. |

Are those going to go out of style? I don't have sleeves myself, but they appear to have been stylish even since the 80s and show no sign of going out.

I doubt they will; tattoo culture has existed in some form for thousands of years. Their popularity in societies as a whole may wax and wane but they ain't going anywhere.

Yeah just the style of tattoos that go away. Barbed Wire, Chinese Writing, Lower Back. But tattoos in general keep growing in popularity.

I don't like that the lower back tattoo went out of style. It suddenly became very popular to hate on it, call it a "tramp stamp," and that was that. Why?

Weird/interesting how things get targeted for hate. I actually thought barbwire was cool lol. Almost got one but didn’t. Glad I didn’t because I think I would regret that choice. I do have other tattoos but nothing super trendy.

Sleeves may have been around in the 80s, but no way were they fashionable. They are now, to the point that you see them everyday. You see them in hospitality, offices, on big-time celebrities, and athletes. If young people want to look different than their sleeved moms and dads, they can either go even more extreme and tattoo every square inch of themselves, or dial it way back. Either way, I don't think it will be fashionable forever.
