we all know the world is changing but what is it changing too 30 years ago who would
have ever thought that we would have cell phones not even laptops or smartphones today people can
communicate with each other from anywhere in the world through that small device and it's not just
communication that has changed but the way we get our news information and entertainment too
thirty years ago you had to watch sitcoms at night or read paper newspapers for your latest news
stories now there is netflix and mobile apps like twitter where people can follow their favorite
celebrities to get updates about what they're doing what about 30 years from now what will
the world look like by 2050 what advancements do you think we'll see in technology or communication
how might this change our daily lives and what is important to us now it's not a matter of
opinion anymore it's a fact in 2050 the world will be significantly different from today
we already have a pretty good idea of where things are headed based on what we have now
in this video i will share the top 10 ways that technology is expected to advance and change the
world by number 10 self-driving cars by 2050 cars will drive themselves some people might
think that this will be a scary thought but it won't most accidents are caused by human
error and self-driving cars can solve that problem for good attempts to make self-driving cars have
already begun by tesla and other automakers in 2050 self-driving cars will be the safest mode of
transportation too since computers one don't get distracted as human drivers do two can see in all
directions regardless of weather or time of day three can make decisions faster than a human can
four can communicate with other self-driving cars to avoid accidents the best thing with
self-driving cars is that there will be no dui or speeding laws humans will no longer need to
worry about driving their cars and they can use that time for something else number nine
smart computers in 2050 the world's computers will not only be in our homes and phones but everywhere
in our lives and that is not necessarily a bad thing smarter computers will be in our
cars clothes tvs and even our bodies we already have google glass which is basically a wearable
computer in the future we will see computers implanted into people's brains so they can
communicate telepathically with each other though this may sound like science fiction today in 2050
all devices such as phones computers and cars will be connected this can be a great thing since
computers can make tasks easier with artificial intelligence ai collect data from the internet
for analysis that could improve our lives in many ways one downside of this advancement might be
cyber attacks on these systems privacy will always remain a major concern when it comes to computers
number eight virtual reality by 2050 virtual reality vr might not only be
used for entertainment but as an integral part of our daily activities every form of media
including television and movies can be replaced by vr technology in the future already there are
virtual reality headsets that you can use to watch your favorite tv show or movie and play games in
the future we might even be able to live our lives through virtual avatars of ourselves one downside
is this could lead us away from real life and more into a world of entertainment and escapism it also
may cause issues with personal relationships as people may prefer vr over the real world
number seven digital currency in our world today it might be hard to imagine living without paper
money or credit cards but in 2050 that will be a reality in fact it's already happening do you use
apple pay or google wallet on your phone if you don't then i'm sure that some of your friends do
in 2050 people will have more efficient and secure ways than paper money to pay for things
just think about it who would want to go back to using cash when you can just use your card
no one unless you are buying illegal stuff when you use a debit or credit card at a store now
all your information is stored on their servers so why not make it more convenient for you
why not just have your cards connected to your phone so all you need is it and a fingerprint
scan then the cashier will know who you are how much money they can charge on your card or
debit account let's not even speculate about cryptocurrency number six artificial intelligence
in 2021 we already have machines that can help us with our work or chores at home
without asking someone to do it for us for example we have dishwashers self-checkouts at grocery
stores and atms that will give you your money when you need it in 2050 we're going to have even more
machines like these expect for example that robots will clean our homes cook our meals and do all the
laundry mowers will cut the grass for us at home or in a park no more raking leaves number five
faster transportation recently china unveiled a maglev bullet train that can travel 600 kilometers
per hour 373 miles per hour that is faster than an airplane using magnetic levitation
the train can potentially go even faster than that because it's not touching the rails this
service makes it possible to live in washington dc and work in new york city because the commute
would be less than 40 minutes there are even more revolutionary transportation concepts
such as elon musk's hyperloop train which would push the speed to 1200 kilometers per hour
745 miles per hour and reduce a commute between los angeles and san francisco from 6 hours to just
30 minutes number four health we already have wearable technologies that measure our heart rate
blood pressure and other health related stats in 2050 we will have even more advanced technology
that can check for diseases early or prevent them before they happen digital health is a growing
industry and it's not going anywhere companies like apple google samsung and other companies
are investing billions in the healthcare industry by creating devices that can stick to our bodies
or even ingest so they can monitor our health from inside of us there are already attempts to make it
possible for doctors to remotely monitor diagnose and even provide treatment to patients in the
future we will have access to more information than ever before making us healthier people
why get a physical when you can just check your health with an app number three killer robots
we already have drones that can fly by themselves and travel to remote locations
many of these drones are equipped with deadly weapons used in military operations
but we still need a human to pull the trigger in 2050 it's possible that we can have ai-powered
robots that use sophisticated sensors to recognize enemy forces and can attack on their own
there is already a heated debate on the ethical aspect of using autonomous robots that can kill
some think it's a necessary step to save human lives but others believe
we should not give machines the power of life and death number two augmented reality
in the next decade we will have virtual reality and augmented reality technologies that can put
you in a different world using only your eyes or a device some headsets already use holographic
technology to generate virtual images to see things from all angles but what about smelling
israeli scientists say they have developed a breakthrough that may lead to smell-o-vision tvs
fragrant digital photographs with a scent of vacation and technology that can print any odor
number one mars our earth is a deteriorating and relatively small planet it's only about
twelve thousand seven hundred kilometers seven thousand seven hundred miles wide at the equator
with a circumference of nearly forty thousand kilometers the human population
has increased rapidly in the past few years and is expected to reach about 10 billion by 2050.
where are we going to put all these people in 2050 it's possible to see human colonization of mars or
another planet nasa and private companies such as musk spacex have already announced plans to
send humans to mars in the next decade if we don't tackle climate change and lower our current carbon
footprint there is scientific consensus that large parts of our lovely planet will become inhabitable
by 2050. let's hope we don't have to leave earth folks if you enjoyed this video make sure to watch
our next video on how will we survive on mars thanks for watching we'll see you next time
