Everybody wants to know about their future. But does anybody wonder what the world will be like in 2050? Let’s see some of the evolutions happening around the world in 2050 due to technology.
Self-driving cars will make driving safer
Tech of the future: nanobots. He believes, that by 2050, nanobots will plug our brains straight into the cloud, which will give us full immersion in virtual reality from within the nervous system. Just like we do know with our smartphones, we will be able to do it with our brains, we’ll be able to expand our neocortex in the cloud. And forget about memory problems, evidence problems, etc.
People reincarnation through AI
Sounds scary, I know! And probably most religious people will be very against it, however,
Kurzweil says that we will be able to “bring back” our relatives through artificial intelligence.
He says that by 2050, we’ll be able to send nanobots into people’s brains to extract memories of loved ones. Augment that with a DNA sampling of the deceased, it will be possible to create a convincing virtual version of somebody who’s passed on.
Charge your iPhone with the power of a plant
Did you know that you can charge your iPhone with the power of a plant? Forests can become the energy stations of the future. Now it is becoming possible, for example, Bioo is a clean-tech company capable of generating electricity from plant photosynthesis.
Space tourism
According to Business Insider, Space tourism could be feasible in 2050, but likely only for the very wealthy. Rocket companies like Jeff Bezo’s Blue Origin and Elon Musk’s SpaceX will push the envelope with space travel enough that tourism will be feasible in the year 2050. For example, “someone who could afford to pay 100 million quid could spend a week in orbit… but it would only be for rich people in 2050.” he said. “It’s not going to be something that’s cheap anytime soon.”
Half of the current jobs in the world are unlikely to exist in 2050
The world is changing faster than we think and the way we learn things and what we learn should be changed. Employers should create an engaging learning culture at work by empowering their staff to take ownership of their professional development.
Drone solution for discovering untouched places
Deep in underground mines, some zones are inaccessible. But companies like Inkonova started to work on building drones that fly, drive and climb and use laser technology to scan zones and create a 3D map of them. With this advancing aerial robotics technology, we will be able to push human reach to any space untouched by man-made infrastructure.
Mars Has A Permanent Human Presence
In 2050, a permanent team of scientists and robotics engineers is present on Mars. SpaceX is leading much of this effort. And the first civilian tourists have also arrived.
Mars colonization is profitable because of the sales of intellectual property rights to Earth, the mining for valuable metals on Mars, and the ongoing mining of asteroids in the asteroid belt between Mars and Jupiter. Space mining is a significant consideration because the amount of money that corporations can make from it is in the trillions. And the minerals in these asteroids hold mineral wealth equivalent to about $100 billion for every individual on Earth.
