Five of technological breakthroughs that will take you into the future

Five of technological breakthroughs that will take you into the future 

People are always waiting for the future with hope. Although the future, as part of the timeline, it is always an event that has not yet come, for many of the "future" is already here. Someone thinks that the "future" is already here computers, internet, mobile phones have significantly changed the life on the planet, compared to how it was in the past. Others, however, expect the space age: time space exploration, flight to the stars and resettlement to other planets. They are the current "future" disappointed as it did not bring qualitative changes in the global life.

 So what still needs to change so that we all finally realized that the future arrived? Here are five breakthroughs that will change our lives, if technological projects started now, will be a success. 

Work and Play in Space 

Since the first human flight into space 55 years have passed. The first space tourist was in space 15 years ago. Astronauts Work has already lost thehalo of romance. But, nevertheless, no space occupation, or travel in space did not spread massively. And it is very different from the future who dreamed of at the beginning of the space age. 

But things can change soon. The space overlooks a private company. And two promising directions that promise to change, this is referred to space tourism, mining resources in space. 

Many people would like to visit at least once in space, and they are willing to pay money for it. This is potentially a large market, and is haunted by many entrepreneurs who dream to make money on the space field. Companies such as Virgin Galactic, Blue Origin, and even World View okolokosmicheskie planning to travel on the balloons example. 

But as soon as the goal, simply, for some time to be in space is achieved, people will want more. Space hotels in the orbit of the Earth and the Moon,tourist flights to the Moon and even "Moon Safari" will be a matter of private companies. Probably, the first such tours will be possible by the end of this century. And on and travel through the solar system will not be a fantasy. 

The development of space tourism as an industry will lead to the emergence of many professions related to the servicing of tourists and construction of space hotel. And if a lot can be trusted to robots, it is not all. The farther into space, the more complex remote control of robots and require constant human presence. 

Development of resources on asteroids require output power in space, concentrating and metallurgical plants, space communication, and much more than that can not be fully controlled from Earth. The space will travel hundreds and then thousands of space workers. In the future, work on a rotational basis in orbit will become as commonplace as the watch on drilling platforms today. 

Widespread robotics in the absence of unemployment 

ak generally robotics development outcomes are associated primarily with mass unemployment than with the positive results of such a development. Subject robots take jobs for people to come down from the pages of various publications. Only if we look back in time and look at the events that are happening now all not so scary. 

The first time such a concern people have shown in the XIX century during the distant industrial revolution in England. The rebels Luddites smashed machines and equipment, showed defiance of the authorities. They feared that machines oust people with plants and leave them without a job. It ended intense fighting and the introduction of the death penalty for the destruction of machines. As a result, Luddite uprising was crushed. Several people were executed. However, mass unemployment has not happened. 

There are also examples of witnesses who are all of us. Appeared at the end of the last century, computers are also not left out of work, even though all the parameters had to do it. On the contrary there are many occupations related to the servicing of computers and their infrastructure. There was a lot of professions that would not have been possible without computers and the Internet. Moreover, many people precisely because of global computerization were able to work, although in other circumstances such a possibility they would not have had. 

If you say that now everything will be different, what do you think of the initiative of the governments and the public a number of countries, the introduction of the so-called unconditional income. The concept implies that every citizen, regardless of their social status, income level, or even the presence or absence of work will receive a certain fixed regular income. This should solve the problem of unemployment caused by the technological development of robotics. 

Probably unconditional income concept will be developed further. Moreover, it will be relevant for the development of robotics. After all the goods and services produced and provided by the robot who has to consume. Otherwise, the existence of robots would be pointless, they will not work. 

A better future, to which we could aspire, the future where robots do the most severe, routine and uninteresting work, and people will do what they like, even if the income from such activities and does not cover all the needs. The remaining costs will be covered by an unconditional basic income. 

Significant prolongation of life 

Perhaps one should not expect any one technology that will prolong our lives. As you know, today the average life expectancy is much longer than in the past. It was promoted by a number of factors have changed people's lives. Including the availability of medicine. So it will be in the future. 

The main task of the future of medicine will not cure, and the diagnosis and prevention of diseases. Human health and day and night will be under constant supervision. 

Already fitness bracelets feel our pulse and measure the body temperature. Tomorrow they will be available to all of the key parameters of our vital functions: pressure, blood sugar, sleep phase and so on. Will change, and a fitness bracelets themselves, but rather the sensors that will monitor our state, they will move under the skin, or skin, or will be present on our clothes. 

Information from the sensors is transmitted to the smartphones, and further to health centers. Such a scheme is already used in some American companies. Employees who use the fitness bracelets have discounts on health insurance. 

Analyzing our state, the program will give our recommendations for further action. Finding a blood pressure increase, the program loaded in the smartphone advise to take the medicine. Either believing that a person is too long in one position, remind him of the need to stand up and stretch their legs, which in the future will maintain health. 

In more complex cases, we get advice and recommendations from a doctor in the health center which will be sent information about our health. Patient history becomes the history of a person's life. The data collected about our health, will be accumulated for many years, until they are needed for our treatment. The doctor will be easier to diagnose the disease and to find a way to cure the person. 

The less we get sick, the longer we live. Of course, this does not lead us to eternal life, but significantly it will last at least 150 years. And most of it will be active. 

Health recovery 

How many do not monitor the health, is still the risk of losing him. People are afraid to lose a limb or be ill intractable or incurable disease. In the future people will travel more and engage in extreme sports, and this risk will increase. But now there are technologies that will restore your health if you are not a hundred percent of the cases, at least ninety-five. 

Artificial implants are becoming increasingly indistinguishable from the real limb. Thanks to modern neurointerface, they are controlled by the power of thought, and sent back to the brain tactile sensations. 3D-press will allow them to do individually for each person. In the future we will not even know that the person standing next to us "half" cyborg. And the people themselves with kiberprotezami be remembered that not all of their natural limbs. 

Where it will be impossible to apply the artificial organs, human donors will be genetically modified animals. Pigs with altered genes has grown by United Therapeutics. The main obstacle in xenotransplantation is the rejection of the transplanted organ by the body of another species. Genetic engineering is to solve this problem. 

Expected progress in the therapeutic treatment. The nanobots will deliver drugs inside the body directly to the body of the patient. The first successful experiment on mice already held by researchers from the University of California. 

Global high-speed transport infrastructure 

Since the invention of the wheel vehicles are becoming more sophisticated. Travel becomes shorter and the remotest corners of the Earth closer. If previously took months to cross the ocean from Europe to America tomorrow is enough for a couple of hours. This century promises new breakthroughs in the field of transport. 

Near the time when leaving the house, we can be anywhere in the world within three to four hours. We expect the new forms of transport, and a new approach to the ownership of the vehicle. 

The change promises to the fifth mode of transport giperpetlya Elon Musk Hyperloop. When the futurists expect that the new mode of transport, the next after the water, road, rail, and air, become magnetic levitation train. But in spite of the already proven technology, and are engaged in theirdevelopment in Germany, Korea and Japan, a commercial maglev in operation (since these trains are now called) run only on sites small extent. For example, opened in February this year, the line at Incheon International Airport, which connects it with the entertainment complex Yongyoo-Mui has a length of only 6.1 km.

expect more from Hyperloop. So if it is put into operation the first commercial site giperpetli between Los Angeles and San Francisco, the distance of 600 kilometers will be overcome in just half an hour. Speed ​​can reach 1,300 km / h. If this project succeeds, its value can be compared with the value of the railway Liverpool - Manchester marked the beginning of modern rail transport. And after some time, the vacuum tube Hyperloop will surround the planet, as well as other roads, road and rail.

When it comes to long distances, there is the future of supersonic and hypersonic passenger airliners. Where the scheduled flight have to fly 10 - 20 hours, you can be reached in a couple of hours on this plane.

For example, the implementation of Lapcat II project will create airliner, which can reach speeds in excess of 8 times the speed of sound. Flight from Sydney to Bryuselya he takes a little less than 3 hours, against the usual 22 hours required by a Boeing 747.

But we must still on something to get to the airport or train station. Public and private transport also undergo changes. The personal use of vehicles will be less. Those who do not have cars for pleasure and prestige will use public transport to individual - self-governing small cars. Suffice it to book a car through the app on your smartphone and the car will drive you to where it will wait. Due to the centralized control of the vehicle travel will be safer and faster. Travel to the city and travel around the planet will ever convenient and accessible.
