How to change the world by 2045
Technologies / / December 19, 2019
In 2045 familiar to us today, the world will be different. Predicting the future is almost impossible, but when it comes to scientific evidence or technical developments, the staff DARPA - the most appropriate people, where you can ask about it.
DARPA (Defense Advanced Research Projects Agency) - it is known in the United States Agency for Defense Advanced Research Projects. Founded in 1958, it looks back on some of the largest discoveries related to the issues of arms. Many development agencies and eventually spilled over into civilian industry. This, for example, advanced robotics, GPS navigation system and Internet.
In general picture of the future is this: there is a possibility that due to the robots and artificial intelligence completely change the industry, unmanned aerial vehicles (drones) will appear not only in military aircraft, but and civil and avtopilotiruemye cars (those without drivers) will make our way to work more tolerable.
Besides all this, the scientists of DARPA has a few grandiose assumptions. His thoughts on what awaits our planet in 30 years, they are divided into a video called Forward to the Future. Some excerpts from the video clip as well as himself in English is given below.
Dr. Justin Sanchez (Justin Sanchez), a neuroscientist and one of the DARPA scientists, believes that in the future we will be able to control things, just by using the power of thought:
Imagine a world where you could be mentally keep control of everything that happens around. Just imagine what it will be possible to control various appliances in your home or communicate with their friends and family by simply using brain impulses.
To date, DARPA is already some innovative developments that confirm the words of Sanchez. For example, brain implantsControlling the prosthetic hand. This study involved a man who had been paralyzed for more than ten years. It is thanks to the futuristic-arm prosthesis he could "feel" physical touch.
Stephanie Tompkins (Stefanie Tompkins), a geologist and head of one of the research units DARPA believes that in the future it will be possible to produce incredibly strong, but at the same time very light things. For example, skyscrapers CFRP. This material is much more secure than steel, a very hard and durable, but has a much smaller mass. This is direct evidence that everything becomes much more difficult at the molecular level.
"I think that in 2045 we will have a completely different relationship with cars," - says Pam Melroy (Pam Melroy), an aerospace engineer and former astronaut, an employee of the agency DARPA. She is sure that we shall find a time when it will be enough just to explain in words the car, what do you want from it, or click on a single button, instead of using a keyboard or a basic voice system identification.
Today, in order to land the plane, the pilot is required to perform a certain sequence Action: Check the navigation system, adjust the brake choke, pull the handle to lower the landing gear, and etc. For the successful landing all of these steps must be performed in the correct order.
Instead, according to Melroy, in the near the future in order to land, it will be enough to say just two words: "embark" and the computer will perform a series of series of necessary steps. And who knows, maybe then the pilot and did not need one.
Challenging assumptions about the near future put forward not only employees of DARPA agency, but some other scientists. Very interesting ideas have Ian Pearson (Ian Pearson). You might think that this is just another boring report in the style of "augmented reality and artificial intelligence will an integral part of people's daily lives, flying cars flooded the roads, and gadgets will sverhumnymi and super-thin. " But no, it's much more interesting.
Ian Pearson
PhD and researcher who is knowledgeable in many fields of science, from aeronautics to cybernetics. He writes articles, lectures and gives advice on the technological innovations that await us in the near future. Here are some of his assumptions about of what will become of the city and transport by 2045.
What will the city look like in 2045
The following are the seven most interesting assumptions about the future of cities.
1. The building will be controlled by artificial intelligence ( "Hello, construction version of Siri!ยป)
Residents will be able to "talk"To the building and to make a request, for example in order to change the room temperature.
2. The highest building will function as a mini-city
With such a huge land prices, as now, a super-high building will be transformed in such a way that they can function as a mini-city. That is, they are the floors designed for offices, apartments, recreation and entertainment.
3. Windows will be replaced with virtual reality screens
In the second part of the movie "Back to the Future"Marty house was equipped with a window of virtual reality, which could show anything. Presumably, by 2045 at the buildings will not windows, because they will replace it for such screens. It largely helps ensure that a very cheap and quick to build housing economy class.
4. People will be able to spray a special "solar" coatings
This is in many ways similar to the existing solar panels today. But unlike these particular nanoparticle material can be sprayed onto various surfaces. Such surfaces are able to absorb and convert sunlight into energy.
5. Smart lighting will follow you
Light will accompany you during your movement through the apartment. You can also adjust enough to have the amount of coverage. Some of these developments already exist. For instance, Ario - a lamp that mimics the sun's natural light to help improve the health of the user.
6. The builders will use the exoskeleton to carry heavy loads without harm to health
suit iron man can boast of not only Robert Downey - junior (Robert Downey Jr.), but also ordinary builders. Through this exoskeleton, the common man will be able to perform many of the actions that are usually beyond him, such as raising significant loads. In addition, it is an additional protection against damage.
7. At hazardous facilities will operate robots
There is the assumption that in the future robots will work with people on different projects. They will replace the person in the places where the most likely risk of explosion or collapse.
How will transport in 2045
The transport sector, in contrast to all the others, is developing relatively slowly. Without a doubt, trains and cars We changed considerably since their invention. But in fact, we still use the old, though, and mutated forms of transportation. Nevertheless, over the next 30 years, we are likely to see more changes on transport than seen in the previous 100 years.
Some of the most bold assumptions presented below.
1. By 2050 giperpetli become habitual mode of transportation
In fact, it will be possible to travel at a speed exceeding 800 kilometers per hour.
2. Flying cars will appear in the coming years
The prototype flying car has already been presented in 2014 during a festival in Vienna. The exact date of the appearance of these cars is difficult to call, but to say that they are already there, you can.
3. Super-high building will serve as a spaceport
By 2045 may appear a building constructed of super-tough materials based on carbon. The height of the structures will reach 30-40 kilometers. On these giant skyscrapers will be possible to build spaceports. Now launch pads equipment on the tops of tall buildings seems unlikely, but thanks to the innovative material it may well become a reality.
4. The aircraft will lose speed for larger windows
Aircraft will continue to evolve over the next 30 years. It will do everything to make airplanes fly faster. Increase the rate of refusal of help windows. Completely replace them allow augmented reality.
5. There will be supersonic aircraft
The opportunity to fly in supersonic the plane will be available in 2040, however, it will be available only very wealthy people. US Patent Office in fact approved the Airbus project, which will transport people from London to New York in just one hour.
These are the predictions for the near future. It seems that in 2045 would be pretty good.
