June 9, 2009 at 02:47Predictions by Raymond Kurzweil
Predictions made by inventor and futurologist Raymond Kurzweil in the book “The Singularity is Already Close” (2005)
2010
Phones reproduce a three-dimensional holographic image of the interlocutor
2014 The
energy produced by solar panels becomes cheaper than when burning petroleum products. Household cleaning robots will be widely used.
2017
As a material object, a computer in the modern sense gives way to ubiquitous compact devices mounted in furniture, sewn into clothes, etc.
2018
computer with memory of 10 13 bit (the approximate size of the human brain memory) costs about $ 1,000
in 2019
The keyboard dies; programs that recognize and synthesize speech allow the computer to conduct a dialogue with the user. Three-dimensional images are projected directly onto the retina, cell phones are sewn into clothes and broadcast sound directly to the subscriber’s eardrums. Deaf people wear glasses, on the inner surface of which decoding of the speech of others is displayed. The advertising industry is mastering the technology of delivering personal messages that will be visible to only one addressee.
2020
Unified World Government.
2020-2025
A computer is created with a size of less than 100 nanometers. The debut of applied nanotechnology in medicine. Nanorobots capable of delivering “useful” molecules directly to the cells of the human body and removing “harmful” molecules from them create an alternative to traditional food. Industrial production is dying.
2025
Military aircraft and ground transportation are computer controlled.
2026
Flying car - personal air transport.
2029
Medical nanorobots capable of attacking the direct causative agent of infectious diseases, completely eliminate the threat of epidemics and bioterrorism. The computer passes the Turing test (a procedure proposed by the English logician Alan Turing in 1950 and indirectly proving the inability of the machine to think).
2030 -e
"Downloading consciousness": Detailed brain scans enables a computer emulation of all processes in the head of a living person. Each person’s personal experience is recorded on a particular medium or broadcast in real time via wireless networks. The nanorobots implanted in the brain interact with its cells, I control all the central nervous system signals. As a result, the effect of three-dimensional virtual reality is achieved without connecting peripheral equipment. Nanotechnology allows you to adjust the connection between neurons. A person can arbitrarily change his personality by controlling memory, abilities, emotions and will. The share of virtual pornography in global GDP is increasing from 0.5% to 10%.
Beginning in 2040 -x
“Body 3.0”: Nanotechnology makes it possible to replace organs with artificial implants and endlessly change the appearance. A person is no longer imprisoned once and for all in a given material shell; a technically advanced body exists as a constantly updated open system and is potentially IMMORTAL. Voglets become reality (* “nebula or swarm” of nanomachines acting as a whole.)
2045
"Singularity": Having realized his superiority over man, a new life form - AI - reproduces itself without control on his part and strives for planetary domination. The scenario of the extermination of the HomoSapiens species, known from science fiction, by robots will not be realized due to the lack of clear boundaries between a person and a machine: machines are incorporated into the human body at the molecular level, the human consciousness is loaded into the machine.
2099
Awakening of the Universe.
It is already impossible to create a computer more compact than a machine of the previous generation: the limit of the physically possible is reached. A more powerful machine should now also have larger dimensions; any substance is now the raw material for the self-reproduction of machines; planet earth (with the exception of protected areas) becomes a single supercomputer. A new form of life - the symbiosis of man and Artificial Intelligence - begins to colonize space.
Well, the wait is not long! :)
