10 experiences that babies born in 2018 will never have

Technology advances day by day. Looking back, we see many things that have changed dramatically in the past few decades. Therefore, children born this year will not have the opportunity to experience the things we are using every day.

Trips are boring and time consuming

Mobile devices and entertainment systems integrated into the aircraft make long flights become less boring. But in fact, we have not done much to improve the speed of aircraft since 2003, as well as the speed of moving vehicles on the ground is also very limited.

The aircraft traveling at the speed of sound will make travel less boring.

However, recent advances in the transportation industry will soon accelerate the pace of trips. It means that children in the future will not be able to comprehend the boredom of timeless, seemingly endless flights.

The supersonic planes will take passengers across the ocean in just 3.5 hours. Although the flight speed of the aircraft is much improved, but the price is very high with physical limitations, this type is only for a small group of tourists and this is a major barrier to popularizing the type of machine. fly this.

But besides, Hyperloop technology will surely make travel time much shorter. This super-fast pipeline system can move up to 387 km / hour. If this system is commonly installed in major cities, it will make traveling between geographic areas extremely fast.

License

Future teenagers will not need a driver's license when driving is in cars.

A driver's license test and a driver's license have long been a "rite" to mark a person's maturity. But the children of the future will not feel the sacredness of this "ritual" when they will certainly dominate the street and eliminate the driver completely on motor vehicles.

According to the US National Center for Accidents and Diseases (CDC), an average of six out of ten teenagers between the ages of 16 and 19 die from a traffic accident in 2015. Traffic accidents mostly come From human error, so self-driving cars will be prioritized to make traffic safer.

Elon Musk, CEO of Tesla, believes that his electric car company will launch a self-driving car in the next two years and is currently testing this type of vehicle until the end. .

People are the smartest species

People will no longer be the smartest species when AI will surpass us in many areas in the future.

Self-driving cars are just a good example of the progress that can be made. Today, AI has surpassed people in some specific areas, such as playing chess or recycling recycling. However, conscious AI experts like humans will soon emerge in the next few decades.

High-end robots like Hanson Robotics have overshadowed the line between people and machines. This boundary will probably disappear in the next few decades. Children born from 2018 will not have to wonder whether they will go to work or go to school, which people like us still have to choose when people are the smartest and robots have not done all their work. human.

 

Another application of AI and promising, is the elimination of language barriers.

Another application of AI and promising, is the elimination of language barriers. Online communication applications such as Skype have a real-time live translation feature, allowing speakers to speak normally to audiences who use a variety of languages.

Not only do you not need to learn new languages, future children will be able to communicate with people without worrying about language barriers.

Google is also integrating its translation capabilities into their new devices. Other big companies like Waverly Labs are also trying to perfect their technology. And we will be like the Babel fish in Douglas Adams ' classic novel 'The Hitchhiking of the Milky Way' , when we can understand and translate all languages ​​in the universe right away.

Children born from 2018 will grow up in a world where people can communicate with each other in any language, they do not need to translate into a common language or an opponent's language, just be leisurely use your native language.

People only live on Earth

We not only live on Earth, but also live on other planets in the next few decades.

We still seek civilizations in distant planets, and now we must accept that humans are the only living beings in this universe. However, in the future we will have to get acquainted with Earth people living on other planets.

When opening a new era of space technology, Elon Musk of SpaceX promises to build and build a new life on this planet. It is expected that this will be done in 2024, so it is highly likely that children will not know the people who once lived on Earth only.

Quiet spaces

The quick and fast makes our Earth overloaded and this is a painful problem that has been discussed for decades. The green areas of nature are gradually destroyed but instead are modern cities with high-rise buildings and vehicles on the street.

Fast urbanization, making future children unable to feel the green spaces of nature.

Experts are concerned that the noise from urban areas will become more serious when the urbanization process has not shown signs of slowing down. According to the United Nations, it is estimated that by 2100, 84% of 10.8 billion people living in cities are full of noise.

The speed of urbanization is so fast that there are no signs of stopping, making future children unable to feel the green spaces of nature.

This means that babies born from 2018 will not be able to experience what are quiet spaces when people mingle with nature, their lives only immersed in the noise of the cities. .

 

Urbanization has narrowed the area of ​​arable land, but thanks to advances in agriculture, food shortages will soon become pages of history books.

The farm in the city is currently growing rapidly and occupies a dominant position in the source of fresh food provided to city residents. Food companies are constantly innovating to increase productivity in a smaller farming area, or transform waste into safe food.

If everything goes right, children who grow up in the coming decades will always have access to food and do not know how mankind has ever faced hunger.

 

Paper money will be a great invention of humanity recorded in the history book of the future.

The introduction of credit cards is the first death knell for paper and metal physical currencies, but not unique. Today, paper money also faces disappearance by online payment options like PayPal, Apple Pay, Samsung Pay, .

By the time the boys born in 2018 could work and earn money, the world had too many convenient and quick forms of payment without resorting to physical payment.

Insecurity in the digital age

Future use of the internet is no longer as dangerous as it is today.

Today, cyberattacks are one of the main concerns of everyone. Hacks can take place even at the international level, the development of Internet of Things (IoT) puts the risk of attacks on personal devices containing highly sensitive information.

But technology experts are still working hard to ensure that the growth of network security catches up with the growth of internet coverage. New advances in security such as biometric technology and RFID are advanced security methods, but still depend on software and can be cracked.

The appearance of will make computing efficiency increase exponentially, so security systems will be modern and better in the future. When children born in 2018 reach adulthood, high-speed quantum encryption ensures that the digital world is no longer at risk of being attacked.

Single screen computer

In the future we will interact directly with the screen and handle more things.

Although we still use flat-screen computers today, the user interface will become much more diverse and lively in the future. Children in the future will not be "imprisoned" in a computer with just one screen, a keyboard like us.

Future computers will not be boring with a screen, a keyboard as we are currently using.

The development of virtual reality enhancement technology (AR) will change this. In the future we will interact directly with the screen and handle more things instead of just typing and entering data as passively as the present.
