Predictions of Raymond Kurzweil
Predictions made by the inventor and futurologist Raymond Kurzweil in the book "Singularity is already close" (2005)
2010
Phones reproduce three-dimensional holographic image of the interlocutor
2014
The energy produced by solar panels becomes cheaper than that obtained by burning petroleum products. Household cleaning robots will be widespread.
')
2017
As a material object, the computer in the modern sense gives way to the omnipresent compact devices, built into furniture, sewn into clothes, etc.
2018
A computer with a memory of 10 13 bits (the approximate memory size of the human brain) costs about $ 1000
2019
The keyboard dies off; 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 clothing and broadcast the sound directly to the subscriber’s eardrums. Deaf wear glasses, on the inner surface of which the decoding of the speech of others is displayed. The advertising industry is mastering the technology of delivering personal messages that will be visible only to one recipient.
2020
Single world government.
2020-2025
Created a computer smaller than 100 nanometers. Debut of applied nanotechnology in medicine. Nanobots capable of delivering “useful” molecules directly into the cells of the human body and removing “harmful” molecules from them, create an alternative to traditional food. Industrial production is dying off.
2025
Military aircraft and ground transportation are computer controlled.
2026
Flying car - personal air transport.
2029
Medical nanobots that can attack the direct causative agent of infectious diseases, finally 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).
2030th
"Downloading consciousness": Detailed brain scans makes possible computer emulation of all processes in the head of a living person. Personal experience of each is recorded on a particular carrier or broadcast in real time over wireless networks. The nanorobots implanted into the brain interact with its cells, controlling all signals of the central nervous system. 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 increases from 0.5% to 10%.
Early 2040's
"Body 3.0": Nanotechnologies make it possible to replace organs with artificial implants and infinitely change the appearance. Man is no longer enclosed in a given material shell once and for all; a technically advanced body exists as a constantly updated open system and potentially IMMORTANT. Voglets are becoming a reality (* “nebula or swarm” of nanomachines acting as a single whole.)
2045
"Singularity": Realizing its superiority over man, the new form of life - AI - reproduces itself without control from its side and strives for planetary domination. Known from science fiction, the scenario of extermination of the HomoSapiens species by robots will not be realized due to the lack of clear boundaries between man and machine: the machines are incorporated into the human body at the molecular level, human consciousness is loaded into the machine.
2099
"The Awakening of the Universe".
It is no longer possible to create a computer that is more compact than a previous generation machine: the limit of the physically possible is reached. A more powerful machine should now also have larger dimensions; From now on, any substance is a raw material for self-reproduction of machines; planet earth (with the exception of specially protected protected areas) becomes a single supercomputer. A new form of life - a symbiosis of man and artificial intelligence - is embarking on the colonization of space.
Well, the wait is not long! :)
