Hello!
Welcome back to the Most Amazing Channel on the internet!
I am your Most Amazing Host, Rebecca Felgate and today we’re talking about the Top 10
Insane Events that Will Happen by 2050.
Before we get into this video, I want to ask all of you guys who like our videos to leave
me a big thumbs up….
It just makes me feel good and lets me know you care.
Also, please do check out our merch and Most Amazing Shop.com.
Okay, year 2050, what you got for me honey…..
10 - Population 10 Billion When I was born, the population of the world
was 5.3 billion.
In 2050, the population of the world will be nearing 10 billion, which should mean that
in my lifetime alone, the number of people on this earth will have nearly doubled…which
is terrifying!
At the moment, the exact prediction for 2050 is 9.7 billion, but, who knows…if people
get extra busy, we could hit the landmark 10 bil a little sooner….not that we should
want to.
As the population increases, so does the likelihood of famine and widespread disease.
9 - Augmented Reality will be part of our daily lives
In the year 2018, we’re already experimenting with augmented reality.
We already have Google Glass as well as somewhat bulky VR headsets.
By 2050, we could have AR books, with scenes popping out from our tablets, allowing us
to touch and feel environments.
One article in the Independent even suggests that VR will take over the way we shop by
the year 2050, allowing us to try clothes on in virtual changing rooms at home, allowing
us to buy online with a better understanding of what the product we’re receiving actually
looks like.
8 - Highspeed Travel Japan is already all over the Highspeed travel
thing; their bullet trains began operation in 1964…so they’ll almost be 100 years
old by 2050!
Europe is already pretty well equipped for rail travel, and it is thought the rest of
the world is will be in line to receive a rail upgrade, with highspeed rail routes cropping
up across the United States…finally making long distance journeys much easier.
Not only that, new rail routes could connect the world!
For example, the Russian Kremlin has suggested that a 65-mile tunnel across the Behring Strait
could pave the way for world travel.
7 – There Will Be No More Oil Okay…so…there will probably be some, but
Saudi Arabia, one of the biggest oil exporters in the world, is on track to exhaust their
oil supplied by the year 2050, which is both worrying and relieving at the same time.
Oil consumption keeps societies running by generating fuel, however it is also largely
damaging for the environment, which is why scientists and environmentalists are working
with cleaner energy, such as solar energy and wind energy.
By the year 2050, we will see more renewable energy farms and a lot less oil rigs.
We will see a new wave of machines, like cars, for example, that run on different energy…it
is already happening!
It is unlikely we will totally run out of oil, and totally plunder the entirety of that
natural resource… but we can’t keep consuming in the way we do – supply just can’t reach
demand, so we need to change the way in which we create and consume energy, focusing more
on the renewable, than the drainable!
6 - Air Pollution Will Be a KILLER The Orgamisation for Economic Co-Operation
believes that by the year 2050, air pollution will kill more than 6 million people a year.
This increased pollution will correlate with the increase in population, therefore the
increase in fuel burning and car use and an increase in toxic components found in household
products and building materials.
Also, warmer weather we experience as part of global climate change won’t help pollution
either, adding to smogs.
A lot of people will suffer respiratory issues, and many will die as a result.
Kay, but it isn’t all doom and gloom….
At number 5, there is robot sex on the cards!
Who needs humans, with all their unpredictable emotions and confusing subtext, when you can
simply get it on with a robot who is programmed to perform.
Okay…
I guess that does sound kind of creepy, but by 2050, sexbots will be a thing, although
they will be pretty expensive.
4 - A Message From Earth Will Reach Gilese 581c
In 2008, a high-powered digital radio signal was sent into space towards a large planet
in the Libra Constellation.
The planet is called Gliese 581c…which I personally think is a bit of a sterile name,
but whatever.
The planet is 192 trillion Kilometers away, which…well…that’s pretty far.
The message should reach the planet, which shares some similar attributes to earth, but
the year 2029.
If it takes our message 21 years to get there, by the year 2050, we may have a response …..
3 - More Extreme Weather By the year 2050, floods, storms, hurricanes
and forest fires could be the norm.
With the oceans warming up, ice in the north is melting, sea levels are rising and floods
are more frequent.
The warmer weather also encourages monsoons and hurricanes – the National Oceanic Atmospheric
Administration predicts that hurricanes could be around 150 times more powerful by the year
2050.
Eesh.
This isn’t good news for cities and towns on the coast of the Atlantic or the Gulf of
Mexico.
2 – Artificial Body Parts One of the best things awaiting us in our
future is medical advancement.
According to the Department of Health and Human Services, by the year 2050, we will
no longer have the wait time and death rate associated with organ transplants.
Lab grown organs are already in development – 10 years ago Like Massella was given a
lab grown bladder and is still happy with it today!
It is only a matter of time until we see our first successful lab heart transplant.
Finally, at number one of the Top 10 Insane Things that will happen by 2050,
1 - Humans will have walked on Mars In the year 2020, the Mars Rover mission will
begin as part of Nasas Mars Exploration Programe, By the year 2030, it is expected that Nasa
will already have astronauts on their way to mars.
On The Nasa website, they say Mars is the next tangible frontier for human exploration,
and it's an achievable goal.
There are challenges to pioneering Mars, but we know they are solvable.
We are well on our way to getting there, landing there, and living there.
By 2050….it is highly likely a small group of researchers will be living on mars.
Blimey….
What a time to hopefully be alive…..
most of us watching this video should be alive in 32 years time to see if this video is accurate….if
you are watching this in the future….
Look me up!
I hope I will have done something fabulous with my career!
So, how are you guys feeling about the year 2050?
