 Posted: Sun Aug 25, 2019 2:42 pm Post subject: Does anybody know of a blog that covers future technologies? |
 |
|
| I’m looking for a blog that every week (or every month) covers a new future/ sci fi tech idea or science or concept. I already watch Isaac Arthur and John Michael Godier but I’m looking for something I can read. The more obscure the blog the better. It just has to post consistently and be ongoing as of August 2019. |

I'd love to find a blog like that, Max, but I've never seen one like you're describing. When I want to find something new for the Science now, add Fiction later forum, I just Google subjects like "science news" or "new technological discovers".
But we'll be on the lookout for such a Blog and post any results here.

You very welcome, sir!
And by Jiminy, I found one that we all might like! It goes by the name shown below —
— which certainly leaves no doubt that we're on the right track!
I like the way the main page is organized. Just as we do right here on All Sci-Fi, it isn't too cluttered and it's very easy to understand. Click on the logo above and take a look at it, folks! 
Here's a sample of the articles it offers.
___ In a quantum future, which starship destroys the other?

Wow cool. I haven’t found this one. It focuses mostly on topical science (present science) but some articles like (ironically the one you linked) have a futurism edge. It’s a great start. I really appreciate it! I’m going to go through all the posts.  |

Right, I caught that too, but I realized it gave us a start, so I posted the reply to encourage our members to "support the cause"!
What All Sci-Fi needs is more posts that demonstrate imaginative ideas based on futuristic concepts. We've got the people here who can do it, so we just need the "seeds" to stimulate their thinking!
Hopefully we'll get more concepts like you presented, and more websites that provide us with new ideas. We need to all "think outside the box" and do what Larry Niven has suggested: Play with ideas! 
Just to illustrate what I mean, what if there was a planet where chickens evolve intelligence, and humans were just dumb clucks who were only good for food? 
In what ways would things be dramatically different . . . and in what ways would they be the same?
Watch this amazing video from the alternate reality in which Trump is the U.S. president on the Chicken Planet!

This may help a bit in your search. Here is a list of links to various sci-fi blogs and sites. It even lists ASF, although it is a bad link (Possibly Bud could get that corrected!)
Good luck!

Thanks!! This listing is HUGE though and doesn’t have a single site that does a Sci-Fi Tech of the Week. 🤣 |
