Some Laws that govern change

• Necessity is the mother of
invention.
• Survival of the fittest.
• It is not the strongest of the
species that survives, nor the
most intelligent that survives.
It is the one that is the most
adaptable to change.
• Every 100 Years the poor
most people have the facilities
and technology which the
richest have 100 years back.

Terrace Farming
• Imagine the world with almost 80% of
the planet’s population living in urban
centers and our fruit, vegetables and
even animals are grown in …
skyscrapers?
• As the world population is increasing
day by day the cities are far from the
agricultural land and thus making fruits
and vegetables short in supply and
costly.
• In the long run such skyscrapers may
not only provide food for hundreds of
thousands of people per building but
they will also relieve much of the burden
on other flat landscapes where fewer
and fewer usable growing spaces exist.
• The design includes water and energy
self-sufficiency from rainwater and gray
water collection and reuse, solar cells,
vegetable and grain growing spaces
and even a chicken farm - all built on a
small-footprint downtown urban lot

 Transportation till 2020

Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS)

• By 2020 all the vehicles

on road will have
Intelligent Transport
Systems installed.
• It will reduce the road
accidents significantly.
• ITS collects the date
around your vehicle and
guide driver accordingly.
• It’s a system which will be
capable of taking its own
decisions in case of
emergency to avoid
collision.

 Ecology / Global Warming till 2020

Rising Sea Levels

• The energy consumption of the
world is increasing day by day
resulting in accumulation of
green house gases.
• The green house gases
capture more ultra violet rays
from sun which cause rise in
earths average temperature.
• The average global
temperature has increased by
1°C in last 50 years.
• Due to this increase in
temperature cracks are seen
on Atlantic ice.
• The ice is melting continuously
and thus sea level is
increasing day by day.

3D Printer
• What is 3D printer?
• Currently it is in very raw
phase and takes
comparatively long time
to print a device as small
as fork.
• Once a significant
development is done in
the designing and
functioning of these
printers we can print all
the required day to day
articles in our premises.

Man on Mars
• Space research centers
are now very aggressive
on reveling the secret of
Mars.
• Mars wont be as
mysterious for us as it is
now by 2050.
• We would be having
sufficient information
about this planet and man
would easily think about
landing and spending his
time on this planet.

New Diseases
• In past diseases were like
epidemics which used to claim
life of millions of people.
• But after the advancement in
the medical field we are now
able to control most of the
diseases and find there
solutions.
• The concern by 2020 that
viruses would appear in more
strong way having adaptiblity
to our medicines and thus we
need to search new solutions
to counter them.
• We can expect heart diseases
to end by this time.

Food Machine
• In the past one had not
imagined coffee and tea
making machine, microwave,
refrigerator and many such
inventions which has change
our eating habits.
• By 2050 we will be eating food
that is mostly packed outside
and is ready to eat.
• There will be automated food
processing machines and we
will get our daily diet in the
schedule time which will be
ready to eat and would taste
similar to home cooked food.

Jet Pack
• The maverick daredevil secured a
world speed record May 10, 2009
at Scotland’s official motor show,
MotorFair, by reaching a speed of
68mph in the hydrogen-peroxide
powered Go Fast! Jet Pack.
• Jet Pack is our personal
helicopter.
• It is a flying machine which will
help you to reach your office on
time with no worry about the traffic
jams or the water loggings.
• Many research are going on to
introduce JetPack as commercially
viable automobile.
• By 2050 it is possible we will see
humans flying as birds in the air.

Lost on your way?

• The chances of any one
distracting from the path they
desired to move on would be very
negligible as the entire street map
of the locations across the globe
will be live on net with Traffic
moves and even climatic
conditions.
• The maps will consist of 3-d view
of the locations and will help you
to identify the place or building you
are intending to visit.
• It will also guide you to the floor
you have to visit for your
scheduled appointment.
• For this there will be camera on
every street which will be capable
of viewing in all the directions and
feed images on the live system.

37
 Ecology / Global Warming till 2050

Drastic Climate change

• Due to global warming the
climatic conditions of the world
will change drastically.
• The fresh water of the Atlantic
ice will mix with the sea water
thus changing the flow of sea
water circulation.
• This change in circulation will
change the climatic conditions
where we will observe access
of every season.
• The change will also be in
terms of regular seasons of a
particular regions viz. heavy
rainfall in desert, snowfall
during summer months or
summer during winter days.

Claytronics
• What is Claytronics?
• a board meeting with a few
executives showing a concept car.
They aren’t using a PowerPoint
presentation, but a model that is
made out of “billions of
microscopic bots”. Like you see in
the picture, they are able to
manipulate the shape of the car
like clay, and the claytronic model
seems to do exactly what you
want it to.
• Not only does it change the shape
of the headlights with one touch,
but it comes apart, and change
color on command. This isn’t a
hologram, but something that you
can touch, or even pick up.

Smart Dust….
• By the time 2050 every building,
road or any other object that you
see right now or imagine to exist in
future will be empowered with
microcomputers-”smart Dust”
• They are referred as Smart dust
as their size will be small, very
small as the size of dust particles
that fly from one place to other
with the wind.
• These tiny microcomputers will
form smart network and will help
us to manage and maintain any
task of our day to day like and
would also manage infrastructures
of large cities.
• They will guide you, inform you
and even alarm you of any
danger.

 SPACE: Moon ; Mars till 2050

Research Labs on Mars and Moon

• Some research are not
possible on the climatic
conditions that earth offer.
• Such research will occur in the
environment of moon and
mars.
• In the coming time we will see
the solutions of some most
challenging problems that we
are facing currently will be
discovered in space.
• We may find solutions of some
deadly diseases in Mars or
moon.
• We might discover hardest
substance of the universe in
space.

Virtual Clinics
• We would be able to consult
best doctors in the world from
our premises.
• The doctor can measure all the
necessary parameters of your
body to give you proper
prescription as per your
problem.
• All the bio medical devices will
be so simple to use that you
would be able to use as per
doctors guidance.
• Operations can also be
conducted without doctors
presence with the help of
robotic operators.

New Viruses will evolve

• World War I claimed an estimated
16 million lives. The influenza
epidemic that swept the world in
1918 killed an estimated 50 million
people. One fifth of the world's
population was attacked by this
deadly virus. Within months, it had
killed more people than any other
illness in recorded history.
• The major virus we are facing right
now are HIV but we will conquer it
soon.
• By 2050 we need to be prepare for
some new virus that might evolve
and can cause threat to our
existence.

Print Food
• As we print our documents, in
the coming time we will have a
printer which can print our
food.
• The food printer would be
attached to the computer and
the recipes would be in the
form of a complex logic which
would have the flow chart to
print your food.
• The printer will have a special
kind of cartridge, containing
ingredients of all types which
will be used as per
requirement.

Flying Cars
• Imagine that you own an
automobile that can turn
to car when you are on
road, to boat when you
are on sea and your
family helicopter when
you want to fly over the
traffic jams on roads.
• We will be seeing similar
traffic jams on sky as we
see today on roads.

Machine Friends
• By 2099 we would start living
individually with no family and
friends around.
• This will result into a feel of
loneness and a need to
communicate, share feelings
and thoughts.
• To counter this problem we will
have machine friends in form
of robot which will look similar
to us, will have feeling can
react, talk to us and will be our
true trust worthy friends.
• These robots will also have
artificial brains empowering
them to think.

Floating cities
• Due to global warming
the arctic ice will melt
completely and the sea
will submerge most many
costal and near by areas.
• There will be land
shortage and thus we will
have cities that would be
on sea water floating.
• Sea food would be main
diet of the people residing
in these cities though
farming would also be
possible.

Decreasing Population
• By 2099 homo sapiens will be
living individually and the
average life will drastically
increase.
• We wont have any reason to
reproduce and would start
loving independent life/
• We would be dependent on
our machine friends.
• Thus the ratio of death verses
birth will be less than 1 and
there by the world population
graph will take a dip

63
 IT & Communication till 2099

Tele existence
• Virtual Reality provides a basis for the
technology which enables humans to
experience events and acts in a virtual
environment just as if they were in the
real world
• The concept of tele-existence was
proposed by Susumu Tachi in 1980, now
professor at the elite University of Tokyo.
• This technology enables a person to
have a real-time sensation of being at a
place other than the place where he or
she actually exists.
• The proposed system consisted of a tele-
existence master-slave system with
visual and auditory sensation of
presence for robotic applications.
• The master system measures the head
and arm movements of the operator
through mechanical links, and a
computer controls the movement of the
slave anthropomorphic robot with a
stereo camera and a locomotion
mechanism for movements.

Inorganic Man ?
• One thing that would be mystery for
man would be death.
• But by 2099 the life expectancy of
human life will significantly increase.
• As we do regular maintenance of our
machines and gadgets, in the similar
fashion body maintenance will exist.
• Just replace the parts which are not
functioning well and live your life in a
normal way.
• We will also be able to win the aging
phenomena.
• The body parts will be artificially
developed in human organ nursery.
• We will also be able to have desired
set of DNA in our new born babies.
