Sci-Fi Tech Brainstorm
Legion:
what about improvements in houseing, buildings that can hold more people, new luxury items?
Entsuropi:
Go buy GURPS Ultratech 1 and 2. Read. Those have an obscene amount of sci fi tech in them.
42:
What about the healh insurance industry. If you have near god-like ability to heal people, who decides what will be covered and what will not be covered? Are people enslaved to insurance policies? Does insuranse policies dictate who can be helped and who can't be helped? What is considered life-threatening when nearly anything can be cured? How would one set up a social security system for varied species?
Also there could be all kinds of social research on the interaction between different sentient species. Aliens may not necessarily think and feel as humans think and feel. There would probably be a lot of psychological research to be done there.
Here's another list: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science_fiction_themes
Legion:
what about advances in computer and information technology, maybe a world wide wireless communication feature, better computers, and Robotics.

Ok, you've hit on a pet peeve. When one is CREATING an RPG, it is a good idea to be familiar with ones of similar setting. However, once you've gotten past that stage and are actually building the setting, using another person's property as direct source material is just wrong on so many levels. It's fine if you're building a GURPS setting. But if not, don't go read GURPS Ultratech as you write your setting.
