2118: This will be what happens to our world after 100 years

With the current growth rate, the world will become extremely different in the next century.

Compared to 1918, the existing human technology is clearly a boom. So 100 years later - what will 2118?

Here are some predictions by scientists about how technology will reshape the world in the next century.

1. The era of

Quantum computing is a computational technique based on the laws of quantum mechanics, using physical systems called qubits, which can help us store a large amount of information, while also creating sets of The processor is much faster (about 1 million times) compared to what it is today.

Therefore, quantum is considered the technology of the future. As predicted, quantum computing will completely change our notions of the world.

In fact, no one can guess exactly what people will do with the massive data system then. But certainly with the potential that quantum brings, we will get answers to questions of the universe.

2. We will really

We won't even need to wait another century to see the human brain fully integrated with electronic devices.

Currently, the communication technology between brain and computer (Brain-Computer Interfaces) is really no longer a fiction. Accordingly, we have had certain success when helping stroke patients recover and function normally thanks to artificial sensors.

In the future, when this technology becomes popular, the integration of machines and people can completely replace the natural evolution of humanity.

3.

Infrastructure and transportation after 100 years will surely grow more today. In 2118, scientists predict that people will switch to using self-driving trams, instead of the means of control we have today.

In many parts of the world, cities also become smarter with the emergence of solar highways, which can charge cars to run.

In addition, self-healing concrete structures and potholes can fill themselves. In general, everything will be fully automated.

4. Revolution

In the coming decades, artificial intelligence will help automate many jobs, especially in the field of assembly or data collection. To compensate for the unemployment of workers as a result of automation, some countries may adopt a basic common income regime (UBI) - a system that grants each person an amount of money. small but not labor.

However, in some areas such as medicine, robots will not replace humans. A more reasonable hypothesis is that artificial intelligence will constantly accumulate experience, to gradually become more complete at work - though still controlled by humans.

Besides, heavy work will also be replaced by machines. An artificial intelligence combined with a physical skeleton can replace people who do things like dismantling in factories, or building bridges and roads - which are known to be at risk of accidents. high.

5. The era of

3D printers will be commonly used in laboratories around the world. Although the price is high at the present time, in the future everything will change. Moreover, this is considered a long-term investment thanks to potential applications in all areas.

We can even print food

6.

Using an extremely high-precision medical approach, such as CRISPR gene editing technology, scientists will develop cancer treatments tailored for each patient, at the genetic level. learn.

That is, future methods will be very effective, because it is directed to each individual.

However, that does not mean that we will live in a safe environment. External factors such as global warming, infectious diseases, even war can reduce people's lifespan in the next 100 years.

7.

Climate change is changing our earth. A study in 2015 predicted that the cold Greenland summer may not have a piece of snow ice by 2050.

Extreme weather events are becoming increasingly popular. And sea level in the world is expected to increase by nearly 1m by 2100, meaning that more than 4 million people in the world will lose their capacity.

If humanity still wants Earth to be our home, then perhaps right now, we need to change. The earth is facing a climate crisis that requires careful but urgent actions.

8. People will step by step and more

People are always fascinated by what exists in outer space. In the next century, perhaps nothing is stimulated by the progress we make in space exploration.

As we know, we are burning the intention to bring people to Mars to live. 100 years is not long for the steps to prepare to implement that plan, especially when people are still uncertain about the real living conditions on this planet.

In the next 100 years, we will find out more about distant celestial bodies through infrared telescopes. As space travel becomes more popular and the price per trip is more affordable, we can visit the planets that were once only able to see from afar on Earth.

The biggest question is who we will meet, or what on those journeys?
