I think I have an obsession with the thought of advancement of technology in the future.
Im a hideously ugly 21 year old male who's never kissed a girl and cant get a girlfriend, no matter how hard i try and no matter how low i aim. But instead of BAWWWing about it, im riding on the hope that in the next couple decades ether:
A) Cosmetic technology will be advanced enough to make me attractive, which will require the ability to change nearly EVERY aspect of my face as i have problems with not only my skin and soft tissue but alot of problems with my skull's bone structrue as well (many bones are too long, wide or otherwise too promanant). Granted they can shave bone down now but only so much, and not nearly as much as i would need to be attractive or even average looking.
B) Androids will be availible that are advanced enough to the point where i could have a relationship with one and often forget that "she" is an AI. This (for me) would not quite require true "free will" or "self-awareness" but require a VERY convincing simulation of emotion and the ability for it to carry at least a meaningful conversation. Given the fact that it is estimated by the year 2019 that $1000 will buy enough raw processing power to equal a human brain (this doesnt mean it will pass the turing test) it is possible that this could come true in a couple of decades.
Are my expectations unreasonable? Also which one can i count on happening first, ether one will do.
