Everything will be condensed into one smartphone. Games, camera, radio, tv, assault rifle, spacecraft? There's an app for that

Halo kind of surprised me when I first played it, in how it portrayed humanity. Still using ground vehicles with wheels, guns with bullets, all of that.
It's because we had like 300 years of peace so weapon technology didn't improve much in that time. Which is why in only like 20 years after the war started they invented cool shit like MJOLNIR and the Spartan Laser.
Starting off pessimistically, we'll will be too dead to know.I'm gambling that recent-death resuscitation will exist though, considering we can sort-of do that today.Died of a heart attack in the last 4-6 hours? Not to worry, just ship ya off to the hospital, and they'll do some fancy electro shit on yer brain, replace yer heart, and away you go, good as new! I'm also expecting a change in languages then, perhaps with the spawn of the digital age languages will gradually become more centralised with only local slang being remnants of what languages once were there. I mean 500 years ago we had "Ye Olde English" so who knows.

Heart death =/= brain death, and those cases of cardiac arrest are where they slowly cool the body down. The same idea goes with people who are hypothermic and in cardiac arrest - they can be revived hours after of downtime.

500 years ago we used bullets to kill people

It's 500 years into the future, and we still use bullets! Do you think we will still be using weapons with bullets, or will we have moved on to something more advanced? Lasers? Something else?How about vehicles? Will we still have cars like we do now, or will they double as aircraft?
In 500 years what will change?
