Hypothetical technologies are technologies that do not exist yet, but that could exist in the future.[1] They are distinct from emerging technologies, which have achieved some developmental success. Emerging technologies as of 2018 include 3-D metal printing and artificial embryos.[2] Many hypothetical technologies have been the subject of science fiction.
