  1. 0:00by 2050 our planet will be a vastly
  2. 0:03different place
  3. 0:07by 2050 artificial intelligence will be
  4. 0:11everywhere AI driven stores will allow
  5. 0:14you to purchase goods without cashiers
  6. 0:16or waiting lines AI will diagnose and
  7. 0:19treat patients manage transportation and
  8. 0:21analyze massive quantities of data
  9. 0:24ai chat BOTS and voice recognition
  10. 0:26systems will sound like and behave just
  11. 0:29like real people
  12. 0:30AI will be implemented into robots by
  13. 0:332050 robot dogs and other pets will
  14. 0:36serve as companions robots will dominate
  15. 0:39factories and began to serve as teachers
  16. 0:41cooks pharmacists law enforcement
  17. 0:44officers athletes and other
  18. 0:46professionals in 2050 Universal
  19. 0:49translators will remove all language
  20. 0:51barriers and voice recognition will be
  21. 0:53ubiquitous hundreds of sensors will be
  22. 0:56installed in our clothes homes an
  23. 0:58overall environment to monitor our
  24. 1:00well-being and improve our lives
  25. 1:02computing will change by 2050 we may run
  26. 1:06on quantum computers based on the
  27. 1:08properties of quantum physics quantum
  28. 1:10computers could deliver massive leaps in
  29. 1:12computing power
  30. 1:13outstripping any current transistor
  31. 1:15based models AI and computers will
  32. 1:18integrate into humans brain ships like
  33. 1:21Elon Musk's neural link will treat
  34. 1:23neurological disorders like Alzheimer's
  35. 1:24Parkinson's spinal cord injury and
  36. 1:27blindness these brain chips will allow
  37. 1:29people to control computers and
  38. 1:31prosthetics with no physical interaction
  39. 1:33by 2050 we may be controlling things
  40. 1:36with our minds and communicating through
  41. 1:39brain signals by 2050 robotic
  42. 1:41prosthetics may be stronger and more
  43. 1:44advanced than our own biological ones
  44. 1:46prosthetic eyes and ears will enter the
  45. 1:48market during blindness and deafness and
  46. 1:50in 30 years like AI virtual reality will
  47. 1:55be everywhere
  48. 1:56people will try and clothes in virtual
  49. 1:58reality closets and a holograms will
  50. 2:00bring FaceTime to a new level
  51. 2:02the our platforms will allow you to move
  52. 2:05around while staying still we will be
  53. 2:07able to travel the world and experience
  54. 2:10life on other planets
  55. 2:11all from home
  56. 2:16in 2014 320,000 new electric vehicles
  57. 2:21were registered around the world in 2019
  58. 2:24that number was 2.3 million by 2025
  59. 2:27global evie sales are projected to
  60. 2:29surpass 10 million and by 2050 the
  61. 2:33majority of automobiles will be electric
  62. 2:35gas stations will disappear and be
  63. 2:37replaced with at home charging stations
  64. 2:39refueling vehicles and as low as 10
  65. 2:42minutes automobiles will become
  66. 2:44driverless as of now Tesla vehicles
  67. 2:47already have autopilot features that
  68. 2:49achieve a level two automation on the
  69. 2:51Society of Automotive Engineers vehicle
  70. 2:53automation ranking other companies such
  71. 2:56as Google have invested billions of
  72. 2:58dollars into self-driving technology
  73. 3:00currently it's expected that fully
  74. 3:02autonomous level 5 vehicles will roll
  75. 3:05out to consumers in the late to mid
  76. 3:062020s and become commonplace in the
  77. 3:092030s by 2050 people will be hopping
  78. 3:12into cars with no steering wheel
  79. 3:14thousands of autonomous vans and semi
  80. 3:17trucks will travel across country
  81. 3:18delivering packages and shipments with
  82. 3:21no human interaction drones will do the
  83. 3:24same for shorter distances by 2050
  84. 3:27swarms of drones will be delivering
  85. 3:29small packages from floating or vertical
  86. 3:31warehouses there will also be
  87. 3:33surveillance in security drones along
  88. 3:35with the drones for construction
  89. 3:36entertainment and agriculture evie tolls
  90. 3:40or electric vertical takeoff and landing
  91. 3:42aircraft will provide urban
  92. 3:43transportation currently there are
  93. 3:46several working evie toll aircraft
  94. 3:48prototypes the urban market for them is
  95. 3:50massive and studies have revealed that
  96. 3:52the technology could become a highly
  97. 3:54profitable one of the companies working
  98. 3:56on evie tools is uber who wants to make
  99. 3:59aerial ride-sharing a reality there's
  100. 4:01also Airbus who have their drone like
  101. 4:03Airbus pop-up concept the Humber Airbus
  102. 4:07and other companies succeed we could see
  103. 4:09widespread adoption of the technology by
  104. 4:122050 cities will likely have air taxis
  105. 4:15everywhere but that may not work
  106. 4:18Elon Musk says that roads must go 3d
  107. 4:20which means either flying cars or
  108. 4:22tunnels he believes the ants
  109. 4:25tunnels right now Elon Musk's boring
  110. 4:28company is digging small experimental
  111. 4:30tunnels under cities if musk can
  112. 4:33significantly cut down boring costs by
  113. 4:352050 cities will have thousands of
  114. 4:38tunnels underneath them another one of
  115. 4:40musk sprained child's Hyperloop will
  116. 4:43revolutionize long distance land
  117. 4:45transportation Hyperloop the idea for
  118. 4:48vacuum maglev high-speed trains could
  119. 4:50speed up to 700 miles per hour a trip
  120. 4:53from Los Angeles to San Francisco would
  121. 4:56be only 43 minutes long compared to a
  122. 4:58six-hour car ride by 2050 Hyperloop
  123. 5:01systems will certainly be constructed
  124. 5:03and replacing airplanes may evolve into
  125. 5:06the most popular type of long-distance
  126. 5:08domestic travel but for travel between
  127. 5:11continents airplanes will remain
  128. 5:14dominant with improved batteries we
  129. 5:16could see electric airliners take to the
  130. 5:18skies in addition several companies are
  131. 5:21working to bring back supersonic
  132. 5:23aircraft these aircraft are certainly
  133. 5:25not airliners but small-scale jets meant
  134. 5:28to carry only 10 to 100 people by 2050
  135. 5:31we could have Concorde like but safer
  136. 5:34supersonic aircraft soaring through the
  137. 5:36skies or as an alternative to airplanes
  138. 5:39what if we traveled around in Rockets
  139. 5:42well Elon Musk wants to use his starship
  140. 5:45to transport people all around the world
  141. 5:47soon and musk starship 1 could travel
  142. 5:51from New York to London in only 29
  143. 5:53minutes
  144. 5:58our energy system is transforming over
  145. 6:01the past decade the cost of solar power
  146. 6:03has plummeted due to economies of scale
  147. 6:06and improved technology the price of
  148. 6:09solar equipment has dropped by 89
  149. 6:11percent since 2010 the cost for wind
  150. 6:14power has plunged as well due to these
  151. 6:17decreases new solar and wind investments
  152. 6:19are usually cheaper than natural gas and
  153. 6:22coal investments
  154. 6:23however renewables still have one major
  155. 6:25setback energy storage for utility scale
  156. 6:29systems renewables need a way to store
  157. 6:31excess energy from windy and sunny days
  158. 6:33for cloudy and calm days to help with
  159. 6:36this researchers are developing new
  160. 6:38methods to store large amounts of energy
  161. 6:41some examples include storing energy as
  162. 6:43heat in materials compressing air or
  163. 6:46turning error into a liquid although it
  164. 6:48remains to be seen which method is best
  165. 6:50these solutions will certainly be
  166. 6:52implemented for large-scale utility in
  167. 6:54the future by 2050 renewables are
  168. 6:58expected to provide in nearly half of
  169. 7:00all world electricity but that's not all
  170. 7:03a solar and wind began to dominate the
  171. 7:05energy sector fusion power will rise
  172. 7:08currently fusion power is purely
  173. 7:11speculative
  174. 7:12however 35 nations are collaborating on
  175. 7:15it err a 20 billion dollar project in
  176. 7:17France to test the feasibility of fusion
  177. 7:20for power generation it err will work by
  178. 7:23creating a fusion powered plasma inside
  179. 7:25an experimental machine the walls of the
  180. 7:28machine will absorb the energy using it
  181. 7:30to produce steam that will generate
  182. 7:31electricity with turbines bidders first
  183. 7:34plasma is planned for December 2025 by
  184. 7:372050 we could have fully functional
  185. 7:40fusion power plants operating more
  186. 7:42efficiently than any other power source
  187. 7:44in history
  188. 7:50with the NASA's Artemis program it's
  189. 7:52planning to land humans back on the moon
  190. 7:54by 2024 SpaceX Dianetics and Blue Origin
  191. 7:58are all working on Landers for the
  192. 8:01project after to the moon NASA wants to
  193. 8:04send humans to Mars sometime in the
  194. 8:062030s spacex is even more ambitious they
  195. 8:10are developing the starship a rocket
  196. 8:12that they hope will send humans to Mars
  197. 8:14by 2024 once they get there
  198. 8:17SpaceX planes to establish a permanent
  199. 8:19colony by 2050 Elon Musk plans to have a
  200. 8:23Martian City with as many as 1 million
  201. 8:25people SpaceX is also developing
  202. 8:28Starling thousands of satellites that
  203. 8:31will provide the world's most advanced
  204. 8:32broadband internet system other space
  205. 8:35companies such as Blue Origin Boeing
  206. 8:37Lockheed Martin and Virgin Galactic are
  207. 8:40all racing for space as well in 30 years
  208. 8:42we might have a permanent colony on the
  209. 8:45moon space hotels in orbit in humans on
  210. 8:48Mars
  211. 8:53by 2050 our food consumption will be
  212. 8:56wildly different mostly due to meat
  213. 8:59livestock contributes to 15% of human
  214. 9:02greenhouse gas emissions and uses 26% of
  215. 9:05the Earth's terrestrial surface to feed
  216. 9:08our growing population while lowering
  217. 9:10emissions we must move away from meat
  218. 9:13assisting with this our meat
  219. 9:14alternatives companies like beyond meat
  220. 9:17and impossible foods have obtained
  221. 9:19billion dollar valuations supplying the
  222. 9:22rapidly growing meat alternatives market
  223. 9:24in addition plant-based diets as a whole
  224. 9:26are growing in popularity then there is
  225. 9:30cultured meat cultured meat is meat
  226. 9:32produced by in vitro cell culture it
  227. 9:35avoids the slaughtering of animals and
  228. 9:36produces very minimal emissions by 2050
  229. 9:39we will likely have in vitro t-bone
  230. 9:42steaks produced for the masses to meet
  231. 9:45the demand for increased plants in the
  232. 9:48growing population while escaping the
  233. 9:50uncertainty of the changing climate
  234. 9:52Farms will move indoors vertical and
  235. 9:55into cities the vertical farming market
  236. 9:58is exploding by 2050 there will be
  237. 10:00large-scale vertical farms all around
  238. 10:03the world
  239. 10:03feeding the growing population while
  240. 10:06using very little land and water as our
  241. 10:08food consumption transforms
  242. 10:10biotechnology will advance while
  243. 10:13prosthetics replace large organs stem
  244. 10:15cells will regenerate injuries and
  245. 10:17diseases stem cells which can be guided
  246. 10:20into becoming a wide variety of specific
  247. 10:22cells will be used for therapies
  248. 10:25eventually like brain chips stem cell
  249. 10:28therapies could help those with
  250. 10:29Parkinson's and Alzheimer's but also
  251. 10:31those with type 1 diabetes heart disease
  252. 10:33burns cancer arthritis and all sorts of
  253. 10:37other diseases
  254. 10:38another biotechnology is gene editing
  255. 10:41using CRISPR / canine technology
  256. 10:44scientists can now remove strands of DNA
  257. 10:46that are causing illnesses and replace
  258. 10:49them with different ones in the future
  259. 10:51scientists hope to cure lifelong
  260. 10:53inherited diseases with this technology
  261. 10:59while we decarbonize the world's economy
  262. 11:02we will utilize carbon removal
  263. 11:05technology carbon capture and storage
  264. 11:07will catch carbon emissions from a
  265. 11:09source and then transport them
  266. 11:10underground
  267. 11:11leaving the atmosphere unaffected
  268. 11:13advanced technologies will remove carbon
  269. 11:16directly from the air and seawater
  270. 11:18additionally some minerals naturally
  271. 11:20react with carbon dioxide and we can use
  272. 11:23them to convert carbon from gas into a
  273. 11:25solid it's not sure which of these
  274. 11:27strategies is best but in the future we
  275. 11:30will certainly see that our widespread
  276. 11:32implementation if you enjoyed this video
