What if Conway's Game of Life ended up being more popular since its inception? Here are my predictions.
Discoveries
- Sir Robin or a similar elementary knightship discovered by the late 2000s
- The first elementary camelship discovered by the early 2020s
- A Turing machine first completed by the early 1990s
- By this year, elementary spaceships of orthogonal speeds up to c/12 are all known
Software and other computer stuff
- Large databases of collisions and sequences will be made, allowing for actually meaningful prediction of starting patterns
- Mods for LifeViewer will exist
Miscellaneous
- Lifeline would still be running, probably under different management
