Well these days, we spend a lot of time with technology, browsing internet on smartphone, playing games on play station, watching movies on laptop, listening to music etc. 50 years back, these things didn’t even exist. The advancements are happening at such a fast pace that in next 50 years, the current things won’t exist. New technologies will evolve and they will completely digitize our lives. Here are the 9 futuristic technologies that you may experience in next 2 decades.
1. Genetic Modification
Don’t know it’s for the better or for the worse, but we will soon be able to pick our kid’s hair color from a drop down menu with the help of genetic modification.
2. Universal Translator
There are more than 6500 languages in the world, although only few are used by majority of people. A universal translator will make it possible for anybody to speak the language of every nation.
3. Bringing Back Extinct Animals
The accelerated discovery by scientist of new ice age fossils suggests that with genetic research, even animals or any other creature which went extinct billions of years ago, can still be brought back to life.
4. Longer Lifespan among Humans
Scientists are already working handful of genes identification that would extend the lifespan of humans.
5. Flying Car
Well basically it is already a reality, the first transitional flying car made by Terrafugia Inc. has made its first flight few years ago. Many other companies are also working on creating a fully working flying car.
6. Shape Shifting
Physicist Michio Kaku has predicted that by 2050, people will be able to change their world through “Shape Shifting”. Shape Shifting is a technology which involves rearranging objects and changing its shape into different objects with just a few keystrokes.
7. Autonomous Robots with a License to Kill
Autonomous killing machines are not far from reality now. They could potentially invade this world. We already have a Aegis Combat System that operates in an autonomous mode.
8. Lab-Grown Organs and Meat
Good news for PETA, Biologists are currently working on how to generate differentiated tissues out of stem cells. When successful, organ donation will not be needed because organs can be grown from people’s own genetic constitutions.
9. Virtual Animals with Digital Minds
Although developing a human brain is probably not going to happen anytime soon, scientists believe that something like a dog brain or any other animal isn’t far off.
