What the World Will Be Like in 2123

The problem with radio is we can't show you our new box packed with a KFC snack or 5 nuggets

fries and a drink for just $7. So you'll just have to trust us. When we say the crispy golden

fried breading will make your mouth water. You'll have to trust us. When we say this is a

ridiculous amount of chicken for such a small price. And you'll have to really trust us.

When we insist that yes, it really is only $7. $7 box feast from KFC. Trust us. It's finger lick

prices and participation may vary tax tips and fees extra.

What do you mean by saying that there will be a little device in your pocket with all the

knowledge of the world? People will be able to communicate with one another from any place

on the globe at any time. And many machines will get artificial intelligence.

Sorry my friend, I can't believe this. It all sounds like a fairy tale.

Perhaps that's how people from 1923 would have reacted if someone had told them how technology

would change in a hundred years. But how would we react if somebody from the future

went back in time and told us about 21-23? We don't need a time traveler to find this out because

modern scientists can already predict how technology will develop in the next few decades.

So let's start with the most essential thing. Medicine. Research. Diagnostics.

Treatment methods. All these will develop quickly. Doctors and chemists of the future will be

doing their job along with AI assistance. They will be able to diagnose and treat diseases much

faster and more efficiently. There will be nanotechnology that can cure severe health problems

without surgery. Imagine millions of tiny robots getting into your body to handle all your problems.

But along with this, new danger risk bacteria may appear in the world that will be difficult to cure.

Nature and evolution always keep a balance. On the one hand, our medicine will defeat

bad microorganisms, but on the other hand, it will only make them stronger.

People will get huge health upgrades. It's possible that we will be able to defeat aging in a

few decades. Living for 200, 300, 500 years, all this can become a reality. Some people living

today will probably regain their youth in the next hundred years. Pharmaceutical companies will

create tools to improve memory and mindfulness. The most powerful machine in the world,

that is our brain, will become even stronger. Muscle and fat burning tonics can turn a dream into

reality. Imagine a device that trains your muscles while you sit on the couch and watch dinosaurs

running in your yard through the window. Only it's not a window, but a TV that gives 20K image

quality indistinguishable from reality. Integrating technology into human anatomy will completely change

the appearance of people. How about digital tattoos or lenses with infrared vision that can change

your eye color? Flash drives in your brain to store all the information from a video tutorial.

It's not just something you made, it's the privilege that you get to work with your hands.

It's building something that serves a purpose. Proof that you have the grit to keep going. At

Timberland, we understand you take your craft seriously and we do too, which is why our products are

built to the highest quality. We put in the work so you can perfect yours with purpose in every

detail and crafted with intention. Timberland, built on craft, visit Timberland.com to shop.

We will also be able to get a lot of energy from wind and water and all this will allow us to

make discoveries faster and more efficiently. With the help of light energy, we will study the

universe much better and possibly find extraterrestrial life. A research project called Breakthrough

Starshot is already in development. Scientists and engineers are creating ultra-fast nanocrafts

powered by light. These are tiny robotic probes that have various research tools and communication

systems. Thanks to their size and speed, they will be able to reach the neighboring Alpha Centauri

star system in 20 years. Modern spaceships will reach this point only in 76,000 years.

Nanocrafts will allow us to study exoplanets not through telescopes but from up close.

We will be able to see videos of these new worlds explore their atmosphere and find living organisms.

If they are there, of course. But most importantly, we will understand which of these worlds are

ideal for humanity. By that time, the colonization of planets will not be new to us because within

a hundred years, we will surely send the first people to Mars. We will study its atmosphere,

find sources of fresh water, build houses, and create a transport system. We will start bringing

more and more products from Earth to the Red Planet and develop the economy between settlements

on Mars. People will live in small communes under large domes where they can breathe without a

space suit. The development of extraterrestrial technologies will significantly improve our

economy and create many new jobs. Maybe we will find some valuable material on Mars and start

spending billions of dollars to mine it. Our gadgets and laptops will become powerful computing

machines thanks to quantum computers. It will likely be the most profound revolution in the world

of technology, even more marvelous than the invention of the internet. The internet is just a huge

platform where we share information and knowledge with each other. But the quantum computer will give

us more. It will be able to do things that the most powerful supercomputers today can't even come

close to. Calculations for space travel, genetics, chemistry, and physics. Currently, people are

building large farms to mine Bitcoin. One quantum computer may be able to do this a thousand times

faster. Combining quantum technologies and artificial intelligence will contribute to the

technological singularity. This is a level of development when the speed of technological invention

accelerates and progress becomes uncontrollable. People live for several thousand years using the same

technologies. And then, in the last hundred plus years, everything changed. Thanks to electricity,

the internal combustion engine, penicillin, and other discoveries, we could create antibiotics,

cars, the internet, cameras, video games, and thousands of other things. And all this in a very

short period. In a sense, this was also a technological singularity. So, quantum computers and artificial

intelligence will be the next booster, like the industrial revolution before, thanks to which

the world will begin to change every day. Virtual reaction

This episode is brought to you by State Farm. Listening to this podcast, smart move. Being

financially savvy, smart move. Another smart move, having State Farm help you create a competitive

price when you choose to bundle home and auto. Bundling. Just another way to save with the personal

price plan. Like the good neighbor, State Farm is there. Prices are based on rating plans that

vary by state. Covered options are selected by the customer. Availability, amount of discounts

and savings, and eligibility vary by state. Quality glasses will become archaic in the future.

People will wear transparent lenses with a digital interface or install chips in their brains.

Scientists will be able to recreate the DNA of dinosaurs and mammoths. There may be technologies

for recording dreams. Predicting the development of progress after a technological singularity

is quite difficult. The human brain may not adapt to these rapid changes, which can lead to

serious mental problems. Today, spending many hours watching short videos on social networks puts

a lot of pressure on the brain. What will happen next when virtual reality becomes as real as hours?

A simulation of the perfect world will draw many users away from real life. Our perception of the

world works thanks to the brain, which processes signals through our senses. For example, music enters

our ears, where the eardrum receives sound waves, then transmits them through a special channel in

the form of a signal. And then, these signals reach the brain, which turns them into the sounds of

music. Now imagine that these waves can be sent to the brain simply by stimulating its neurons

with an electric current. You will hear music that doesn't really exist. So in the future,

virtual reality headsets may appear. They will stimulate millions of brain neurons responsible

not only for sounds, but also for smells, touch, and vision. There will be no difference between

real life and virtual life for you. Let's hope that people will venture out from there to

at least drive flying cars. In the future, they will be as ordinary as modern vehicles.

You will be able to travel long distances with the help of the hyperloop trains moving inside

vacuum tubes at the speed of sound. Going on vacation to space stations or Mars will be as

cheap as traveling to another country today. Thanks to the growing competition and lowering prices,

cool technologies will be available to everyone. Remember how it was with cars in the 20th century?

Only the richest had them. But after a few decades, ordinary people with average incomes

started buying beautiful vehicles. Even if you can't buy a flying machine in the future,

you'll be able to take a ride in a sky taxi. People will have to study constantly to keep up with

the technologies. Not everyone will withstand this stress. Artificial intelligence will render

millions of people around the world jobless. But in the end, all this will benefit us because

there's no progress and development without overcoming difficulties.
