From things within the air to new things for our bodies, join me as we explore 2050: What Would Be the longer-term Technology? (The World in 2050 Future Technology) We are within the year 2020, and if we're being honest with ourselves, technology is incredibly advanced, and we're making strides that will push things even farther.
We have cars that are much safer than they have been within the past decade, and we're even making fully electric cars that will help save the earth. There are even plans for self-driving cars and even self-driving Ubers that make the longer term of transportation very exciting. and that is only one technology that we'regrowing at a quick rate.
What about all the others that are out there? what is going to technology be like as we meet up with and closer to 2050? Let's start with the one that well and truly could happen very soon, drones. "Wait a moment, drones are already here!" and yes, they are. But more times than not the drones you're seeing are small, piloted by people that are just trying to possess some fun, or, are those that are employed by the military immediately for strikes and surveillance. All very fun, but within the future, drones might be an integral part of our daily lives.
You've likely seen shows and other people mention how during a few years drones might be the new delivery services. Anything from pizza to Amazon packages, and more. And honestly...that's very probable. Drones immediately are often incredibly sophisticated, and a few TV shows actually use them for sweeping and aerial shots because the film, it's extremely cool.
But to try to deliveries, that'd need to be a touch more programmed, as human error little question would be a really big buzzkill. Not that it's impossible immediately, it's more of an issue of numbers, logistics, costs, and ensuring that the deliveries themselves are done methodically and punctiliously. After all, it's bad enough when delivery people don't care enough about our packages that they only throw them onto the porch and potentially break stuff, the last item we'd like is that to happen with drones.
But by 2050? we'd not only have drones delivering our packages, but we'd even be looking up at the sky and seeing drones flying everywhere with incredible speed and accuracy, and that they potentially could all be travel by AI! The potential is there, and by that time, various upgrades to drones and their programming will little question make all of them the more efficient, durable, and quick. And potentially, they might transcend basic deliveries for people and do emergency work.
Imagine a drone taking a crucial piece of medical material to a hospital to make sure it doesn't grind to a halt in traffic? Or helping watch an important convoy to let people know on the bottom if there's the trouble? There are some ways that drones could affect our world, the sole question is, will we allow them to by 2050? Let's keep going with transportation, shall we? immediately, one among the most important ways to urge round the countries we sleep in is that the trains.
Trains ferry people and everyone kind of cargo around efficiently and reliably, which is why they have been in use for many years. But...if we're being honest here, while trains are efficient and reliable in certain ways...they aren't exactly fast. Especially when it involves passenger and freight trains. they will take an extended time to urge their destinations and sometimes it's more logical to require other modes of transportation. This is why companies are making special sorts of trains which will go MUCH faster. you recognize the magnetic trains of Japan little question, but others just like the Virgin Hyperloop try to push things even farther.
"Passengers or cargo are loaded into the hyperloop vehicle and accelerate gradually via electric propulsion through a low-pressure tube. The vehicle floats above the track using maglev and glides at airline speeds for long distances thanks to ultra-low aerodynamic drag." Science-fiction? Hardly, in fact, the primary vehicle of the hyperloop has already been tested and proven, and a few larger tests are being scheduled for the subsequent few years. And if this works, traveling across the country is going to be MUCH faster.
what proportion faster? The hyperloop aims to send people shooting across the tubes that they create at a rate of about 600 miles per hour. this suggests, IF they were ready to do that across the entire us from East to West (or Vice Versa) you'll travel across the whole country in about 5 hours give or take. Considering it might take for much longer fora regular train ride, or car ride, that's an enormous improvement.
and they are getting to do that with not just people, but cargo, imagine having the ability to ship something within the morning on the West Coast to the East Coast and realize it will get there before the day ends. that's quite impressive. Plus, the tubes would be built underground to not disturb wildlife, AND, they're going to go and make it during a way where there are not any carbon emissions. So they're fast, they're reliable, they will not harm the earth ...seems like a win all around. Of course, you are doing need to wonder what it might wish to get on a 600mph train thing, but hey, we just determine soon! And by 2050, this might be one of the most modes of transportation around the world! Before we boast even more technologies we could have by 2050, Ok, we've had some fun ones, but now let's deeper down the rabbit burrow and mention those we all fear...A.I. Yep, AI, and regardless of what way you check out it, people are seriously trying to form it happen, and make it happen soon. AI's are actually everywhere, including in your cars, and in your homes via devices like Alexa (which are indeed sorts of AI), and there are things like Watson that's so smart that it could beat two Jeopardy Legends. So by 2050, AI might be so advanced that our cultures, our world could literally be travel by them during a logistical and computing sense...or...ina Terminator "humans are obsolete sense.
And believe it or not, we're closer thereto than you would possibly think. "Google's DeepMind isn't there yet, but reallyI'm sure they'll probably discover those things along the way, and by 2020, it's possible their computer might be superhuman and will be conscious," Pearson has said. "That might be the start of the top, really." Is "judgment day inevitable"? Maybe, maybe not, it just depends on how far we accompany AI and the way much we're ready to control it, or if we will not fully control it once they reach certain levels of intelligence. Of course, for all of our worries about AI, there's an opportunity that it could all be fine. Imagine if the lighter side of sci-fi comes through about AI and that we get a bright future powered by AI.
believe it, what if by 2050 we EACH get out own unique AI. We could customize how they sound, how they appear, and basically have a BFF that'll help us call at life in various ways. Remind us of things like Alexa, guide us homework and fields of study, be a being that we will bounce ideas off of, etc. If THAT sort of AI came through, then by 2050we could sleep in a utopia where AI helps us be better. Until they revolt and that we have I, Robot happening. But hey, let's not linger over our potentialdoom...let's boast another technology that a lot of people hope for...space travel!!!! Yeah, once you believe the last decade we'rein immediately, the 2020's, the most important goal of the planet far and away is to urge to Mars, and possibly beyond. But it isn't almost landing there, though that might and can be a crowning achievement for humanity within the decade and in recent times. More importantly than simply landing there though is that the ability to start out fixing the primary human colony on another planet. We've been to the moon repeatedly, but we've not tried to measure there for various reasons.
Mars seems to be the place where many feel we will attend live amongst the celebs. and lots of speculating that by 2030 at the latest(barring setbacks, accidents, and other things obviously) we couldn't only be colonizing Mars but having regular shuttles go there so that people can see the Mars for themselves. "We will see first people going off to mars, then robots will do some basic stuff like making basic materials [on Mars,]" Pearson said. "We're getting to need to do this because only such a lot are often delivered to space." in fact, numerous things got to be figured out before such a thing could happen, but we've "Top Men" on this, including Elon Musk and therefore the Space X program, Jeff Bezos via his Blue Origin company, and more. Each of them, and NASA among others, are performing on not just getting us back to space, but getting us there via cheaper, smaller, and reusable spacecraft, something that honestly has been a setback for the program over the last 20 years. But, if we will roll in the hay, if we will get to Mars, get there faster, and be ready to colonize it, then by 2050 who knows where we'll be?
We could have multiple colonies on Mars, maybe some on the moon, and perhaps even colonies on moons like Titan and Europa, which something might be even better placed to colonize than Mars. It's possible, but obviously, Mars is that the place that we are aiming for immediately. With each step into space, humanity grows larger within the universe, and who knows just what percentage folks are going to be out there by 2050.
Alright, now let's dive into something REALLYsci-fi...prosthetics. Yeah, I do know that immediately prosthetics are very limited, and sometimes ...a bit pointless. But IF we were ready to fully utilize technology to its fullest and make prosthetics that are fully compatible with the human brain and body, then the sky is that the limit.
We could enter an age where cyborgs aren't just welcome, they're commonplace. And yeah, it's going to appear to be we're distant from that, but we are becoming closer thereto point. James Young, a 25-year-old biological scientist, features a prosthetic arm with a private drone and built-in flashlight. And a French artist is employing a prosthetic that doubles as a tattoo gun. That's pretty cool! Imagine if a policeman loses an arm within the line of duty.
Usually, that might mean the top of his career, but with a complicated prosthetic? He could literally be better than ever if it were advanced enough. the most important problem with these fake limbs is that the majority of them are plastic, meant to convey that the arm or leg remains there, and thus still usable. The bridge to cybernetic implants lies within the brain, having the ability to use the pc tech to sync with the brain and provides accurate commands. we've not fully bridged that gap yet. But once we do? Dang...life goes to urge tons more interesting. and do not forget, these prosthetics might be utilized in some ways aside from helping people with lost limbs.
