yes i am proud to be america's first
straight female president
welcome to watch mojo and today we're
counting down our picks for the top 10
predictions for the next decade
daddy's got to go to work i'm with you
every step of the way
are you kidding no for this list we're
looking at innovations
cultural shifts and other changes the
world might see over the next decade
do you have any predictions for the next
decade let us know in the comments
number 10 the rise of machine learning
open the podbay doors hal
[Music]
i'm sorry dave i'm afraid i can't do
that
[Music]
what's the problem i think you know what
the problem is
just as well as i do we're not at hal
9000 or skynet territory but machine
learning or
ml for short is becoming more widespread
than some might assume
give me five
just put out your hand like this come on
all right now hit me give me five do the
same thing do the same thing
all right for those who aren't up to
date ml is a division of ai that allows
machines to evolve through experience
without being programmed to do so
ml algorithms are already used for
filtering emails
improving search engine results and
refining our virtual assistants
many spam blocking email filters
consider several features of an incoming
message
and they assign each email a score
passing scores get to your inbox
and scores below a certain threshold are
blocked all together
or bounced to the spam folder these
algorithms could play major roles in the
mass production of self-driving cars and
self-flying drones robot learning may
also see significant advances over the
next decade
in march 2020 google built a four-legged
robot that learned to walk on its own
via deep reinforcement learning that's
one small step for rainbow dash as
google calls it
let me guess your rainbow dash
the one and only number nine
more simpsons jokes will come true as
you know we've inherited quite a budget
crunch from president trump
how bad is it secretary van houten
we're broke we're not saying that the
simpsons writers are all knowing sages
but
satire is known for providing a window
into the past
the present and even the future as one
of our most brilliant satires
it shouldn't come as a surprise that so
many simpsons jokes actually entered
reality this past decade
so what other simpsons jokes could
predate future events
yes i am proud to be america's first
straight female president
optimistically thinking a female u.s
president a sophisticated baby
translator
and a consequence eradicating app all
sound fairly probable
on the other hand an evil billionaire
could block out the sun
and the uk may need to save america
during world war three
oh an english boy yeah you know we saved
your ass in world war ii yeah well we
saved your ass in world war iii
that's true also when is smelly later
gonna replace goodbye
i can't believe smelly later replaced
goodbye smell you later
smelly later in any case don't expect
the simpsons to be canceled anytime soon
number eight a human mission to mars oh
wow did everybody hear that
might just discover dirk should we alert
the media tech giants like jeff bezos
and elon musk have essentially taken
over the world
so it only makes sense that they'd set
their eyes on the rest of our solar
system
bezos hopes that blue origin will pull
off the first commercial moon landing by
2024
by that same year musk is aiming to
launch the first crude flight to mars
i mean the long-term aspiration is to
develop the technologies necessary to
transport
a large number of people in cargo to to
mars
in order to create a self-sustaining
civilization there
and that's really why i started the
company although the spacex mars program
has seen delays
musk confirmed on twitter in june 2020
that 2024 was still the target date
musk also seems resolute on sending the
starship craft to the moon by 2021
and initiating the first cargo mission
to mars a year later
once we land on mars evidence of alien
life
just might be the next breakthrough
fingers crossed extraterrestrial life
you're right jerry the people are gonna
love it
number seven virtual reality revolution
if you've played half-life alex you know
just how immersive virtual reality has
become
i'm with you every step of the way even
if you're not a gamer
vr might truly explode into the
mainstream in the years to come
due to the covet 19 pandemic it's safe
to say that fewer people will want to
travel
even if you're comfortable with getting
on an airplane some destinations may
remain off limits
or maybe a trip to europe simply isn't
in your budget
this is where vr comes in the mona lisa
beyond the glass experience allowed art
buffs to take a tour of the louvre
now imagine being able to tour the whole
city of paris without leaving your couch
the overall experience will enable the
visitors to open their eyes
to the giacond and to mona lisa and
maybe to open their mind also travel
aside
vr could become a commonplace tool for
education healthcare
and more as vr technology advances app
developers are working around the clock
to make better and more immersive vr
experiences
every day number six more mergers and
acquisitions
most guys i know who work in mergers and
acquisitions
really don't like it
so where do you work out between 2009
and 2019
disney acquired marvel lucasfilm and
21st century fox
yet even media giants like disney have
lost billions due to the pandemic
rosenblatt securities analyst bernie
mcternan suggested in march 2020
that apple should seize this opportunity
to acquire disney
although that probably isn't going to
happen in the foreseeable future or ever
the lockdown has left numerous companies
vulnerable meanwhile retailers like
amazon
are stronger than ever amazing amazon
really just
continues to amaze and hitting all-time
highs almost every single day
look at this incredible run up 21
in just two weeks time oracle twilio and
zoom are just a few companies that
amazon could feasibly buy according to
business insider
there have also been rumors that amazon
might purchase the amc theater chain
who knows maybe walmart will buy
walgreens maybe google will buy lyft
or maybe mcdonald's will buy yale yeah
even though mcdonald's owns yale now
it's still a great school
hey that's another simpsons joke number
five more diversity in hollywood
in recent years there's been a push for
more diversity in front of and behind
the camera in hollywood
just don't freeze when you see her
what are you talking about i never
freeze
according to a 2020 report conducted by
ucla
the previous two years did see a rise of
women and people of color in
film roles however they also found that
minorities and women are still going
underrepresented in writing and
directing positions
are you kidding no while still very far
from ideal
hollywood does seem to be moving in the
right direction and the motion picture
academy may bring further change
in september 2020 the academy announced
new representation and inclusion
standards that are set to take effect in
2024.
so by 2025 any film that will be
considered for the best picture award
will have to meet
two of the four criteria they include
diversity and on-screen representation
themes and narratives
diversity and creative leadership and
project team industry access and
opportunities
and lastly diversity and audience
development if hollywood takes these
progressive rules to heart
we'll hopefully see more diverse actors
storytellers and creative leaders going
forward
i say if you want something done let a
woman do it
number four a shift towards streaming
amc isn't the only theater chain that's
been hit hard by the pandemic
movie theaters in general have become
ghost towns compared to what they once
were
warner brothers aim to re-stimulate the
box office with tenet although
only time will tell if theatrical
presentations actually rebound
i'm not saying armageddon here no
something worse meanwhile streaming
platforms have been the primary source
of entertainment for many households
i like netflix could you be netflix yeah
netflix is awesome
course it's awesome it's netflix look
we're stuck being fox we have to deal
with it okay
i watch fox oh you don't nobody does
netflix gained
16 million subscribers in 2020's first
quarter
and disney plus has over 50 million
subscribers
there's so much i have to ask you
granted
quibby and dc universe have both proven
that not every streaming service is a
cash cow
thanks for always giving me great advice
i've even if i don't always use it with
the fate of movie theaters uncertain
though
chances are that we're gonna see more
mid to low budget movies
as well as even some tentpole releases
going straight to streaming
number three the global economy
collapses
around the world economies are crumbling
since the coronavirus outbreak the price
of every vital commodity
has fallen of all the predictions on our
list we
really really hope this one doesn't come
true given the global economy's current
state however
the kovid 19 recession might just be
getting started well it is
the worst crisis since the great
depression
but it is more than that because
it is a combination of a health crisis
and an economic shock
at one point more than 16 million
americans filed for unemployment over a
three-week period in 2020.
in june 2020 the international monetary
fund predicted that the u.s economy
would shrink by 8 percent in 2020.
the imf also estimated countries that
rely on european currency will drop more
than 10
and japan will drop 5.8 percent while
china may gain 1
it'll still be its weakest showing in
decades so we are expecting a slow
recovery i mean there's been good news
on the
uh employment front but at the same time
if you look at the unemployment
claims the level at which they are and
that they remain quite steady at that
level
you know tells you that this crisis will
play out for much longer
overall imf chief economist gita
gopinath is expecting a 12.5
trillion dollar global economic loss by
the end of 2021
very scary number two a decade shaped by
political leadership
since generations are often defined by
world leaders the 2020 u.s presidential
election will undoubtedly be a key
factor in shaping the next decade
if donald trump secures a second term
obamacare
civil rights and even democracy as we
know it may be in jeopardy
relax we're doing great if joe biden
wins
his administration will have a long road
towards uniting the country
of course this is also assuming that
trump peacefully concedes
whoever wins the supreme court may never
be the same with the passing of ruth
bader ginsburg and both sides of the
political spectrum at war over her seat
the flag at the white house may be
flying at half mast but politics goes on
donald trump making clear he's going to
nominate a conservative replacement
without delay democrats though led by
presidential candidate joe biden
say no decision should be made until
after a new president
is sworn in as for who will run in 2024
and 2028
would you honestly be surprised to see
dwayne the rock johnson take the
presidential oath of office
daddy's gotta go to work before we
unveil our top pick
here are some honorable mentions the
energy sector transforms
we need renewable energy now more than
ever right now demand is low
people aren't flying they aren't driving
they aren't vacationing
supply is too high and storage capacity
is filling up
meaning that if something doesn't give
production could stop
worsening an already difficult situation
hyperloop
please make this sealed tube system a
reality elon musk
in simple terms the system is made up of
two parts
a tube designed to generate very low air
pressure
and a carriage or pod that can travel
through the tube
without touching the ground digital
regulations
the internet may look quite different by
2030.
once again the government has been way
behind here i think that there's a need
for proper regulation

number one watchmojo will run out of
ideas
psych that will never happen number one
a decade defined by covid19 things go
away
absolutely it's no question in my mind
it will go away please go ahead
if you think the effects of covid will
be restricted to 2020
prepare for a rude awakening come 2021
and beyond
even if and when we get a vaccine
there's the matter of how effective it
will be
and how many people will take it a
vaccine alone doesn't mean a return to
normalcy for everyone
in a post-pandemic world we expect many
people will still wear masks
especially on airplanes and in crowded
areas this gives two levels of
protection
first it blocks droplets that could
carry germs from leaving the mask when
someone breathes out
second if any droplets do leave the
person's mask
they are blocked from entering the nose
or mouth of other people by the masks
they are wearing
since many companies have adapted due to
covid it wouldn't be surprising if many
workers permanently switch to remote
positions
and if the office ceases to be the
centre of working life
the idea of working sets hours or the
nine to five
will become less meaningful there are
numerous other changes to consider
but one question in particular lingers
will we learn from this pandemic
or repeat the same mistakes before the
decade is over
