When we think about 2040, it seems like ages from now and we imagine a completely different world, but in reality it is just 30 years and we can already know what it will be possible to have by then. We have a lot of environmental and social problems and let's see how technology can solve them by 2040. Today's article is about the technologies of the future!
Nanobots will plug our brains directly into the cloud
Future technology: nanobots. He believes that by 2040, nanobots will plug our brains directly into the cloud, allowing us to fully immerse ourselves in virtual reality from the nervous system. Just as we know with our smartphones, we will be able to do this with our brains, we will be able to extend our neocortex in the cloud. And forget memory problems, evidence problems, etc.
Reincarnation of humans through AI
Sounds scary, I know! And probably most believers will be very opposed, however,
Kurzweil says we will be able to "bring back" our relatives through artificial intelligence.
By 2040, he says, we'll be able to send nanobots into people's brains to retrieve memories of loved ones. Augment this with DNA sampling of the deceased and it becomes possible to create a convincing virtual version of someone who has been passed on. If you're interested, there's a movie about it: discovery.
AI will become a positive motivator for clean work
Many people are worried about AI in our lives because they think that robots will eventually replace humans and we won't have jobs.
IoT technology will change product design
According to Forbes, by 2040 IoT technology will be in 95% of electronics for new product designs. And by 2040, everything is expected to be connected to the cloud and the Internet.
Space tourism: a week in orbit
According to Business Insider, space tourism could be feasible in 2040, but probably only for the very wealthy. Rocket companies like Jeff Bezos' Blue Origin and Elon Musk's SpaceX will push the boundaries of space travel enough to make tourism feasible in 2040. For example, "someone who could afford to pay £100 million could spend a week in orbit... in 2040 it would only be for the rich." he said. "It's not going to be cheap anytime soon.
Self-driving cars will make driving safer
Despite the self-driving car accidents that have made headlines in recent years, this area of artificial intelligence could dramatically reduce the number of deaths and injuries on our roads. According to a Stanford University report, self-driving cars will not only reduce traffic-related deaths and injuries, but could also cause changes in our lifestyles. We will have more time for ourselves.
Also, the increased comfort and reduced cognitive load of self-driving cars and shared transportation may influence where people choose to live.
Charge your iPhone with plant power
Did you know you can charge your iPhone with the power of a plant? Forests can become the energy stations of the future. It is now possible, for example Bioo is a cleantech company capable of generating electricity from plant photosynthesis. You can watch a video here to learn more about it.
Ocean thermal energy can lead us to 100% renewable energy
Ocean thermal energy is a largely untapped resource and one of the largest renewable energy sources in the world. Bluerise, for example, is now working to create an energy breakthrough by generating electricity on a public scale by converting the ocean's thermal energy. It will be able to outperform fossil fuel generation and other renewables that require storage and grid balancing. It will play a key role in the future energy mix as one of the few permanent sources of energy, available day and night all year round.
The EU will face a shortage of IT workers
There is a huge demand for developers in Europe, but most IT education is only available in English. With 24 official languages spoken in Europe alone, it's no surprise that non-native English speakers prefer to learn in their own language. However, you can start to see many coding academies, schools and universities focused only on training junior developers for a specific demand of companies, be it language, practice, etc. Even if this problem will not be solved now, with these new IT universities and academies, we can fix the situation by 2040.
A drone solution for exploring untouched places
Deep in the underground mines, some zones are inaccessible. But a company like Inkonova has started working on drone assemblies that fly, steer and climb, using laser technology to scan zones and create a 3D map of them. With this advanced aerial robotics technology, we will be able to push human reach into any space untouched by man-made infrastructure.
Half of the current jobs in the world will probably not exist in 2040
The world is changing faster than we think and the way we learn things and what we learn should change. Employers should create an engaging learning culture at work by empowering their employees to take responsibility for their professional development.
