It's hard to imagine what the future holds, especially when it comes to technology. The innovations that come out each day are so incredible that it seems like anything is possible. It's difficult not to wonder what life will be like in 20 years or even 100. While we may never know how technology will change our futures, we can try to predict what might happen by looking at trends and patterns in the past. Here, are some predictions about the future of technology that you should know.
Artificial intelligence and autonomous driving
Space travel
And robot takes our jobs
One of the first things we know about the future is that it is here. Technology has had a major impact on our daily lives, and there's no doubt it will continue to do so in the future.
Artificial Intelligence and the Future of Autonomous Driving
Nearly every major tech company is working on or working on implementing AI. What many don't know is that the driving of autonomous cars is also largely up to artificial intelligence. Companies like Uber and Google have big goals for driverless cars.
Both are hoping to have fully autonomous vehicles on the roads in the next few years. In fact, Google has already begun tests of its self-driving cars.
The future of transportation may seem like it's all or nothing. On one hand, you have technology that is taking on the driving duties for us. On the other, you have cars that can drive themselves .
Though self-driving cars are on the cusp of being a reality, we don't know if we're ready for them eg. Tesla who is only in the US market. In the coming decades, it seems like there will be no middle ground for autonomous driving.
Space travel - Will be made easy
Space travel is already possible thanks to private companies, but not cheap. For example, there's Virgin Galactic that offers tickets costing $250,000 a pop. The company recently celebrated its first successful flight after a 12 month of long test flight.
There's also Blue Origin, which has space travel tickets priced at $200,000 and Virgin Galactic's competitor, SpaceX, which offers tickets priced at $200,000.
Needless to say, these are still pretty expensive, and that will probably be the case for quite a while, if we ever do go to space. Has technology grows so will resource: all an saying is intime everyone who wants to travel to space with less cost.
Will Robots Take Jobs?
It's hard to think that in the next 100 years robots will not steal the jobs of humans. And while many people say that this may not happen, the reality is that there's no way to know how this will play out.
But, it is important to understand that technology has given us incredible technology in the past, and we can't rule it out in the future. Instead of fearing what might happen, however,we should consider this: If humans had only been around 3,000 years ago, technology would have been different and jobs would have been different.
So, let's think about the changes and improvements that could have been made with the technology we have. In 100 years, we could see and implement innovations that have not been possible with technology in the past.
So, while it may seem impossible to predict what life will be like in 100 or even 200 years, looking at the trends and patterns of the past gives us some insight into what to expect in the future.
