We have to massively subsidize solar panels and electric cars. We have to bolster public transportation and redesign cities to discourage the use of cars. The drop in sequencing costs is shifting DNA testing out of the research lab and into mainstream medical practice.
Population-based sequencing projects in more than a dozen countries, including the US , are expected to produce 60 million genomes by By , China hopes to add another million from its own precision medicine initiative. The impact is hard to even imagine. To date, only about a million people have had their whole genomes sequenced. More data from all over the globe will allow for more powerful, fine-grained analyses of how genes shape health and behavior. Very large genetic data sets are ideal for a new technique called Mendelian randomization , which mimics clinical trials, allowing researchers to tease apart causes and correlations.
Bigger samples will also make it possible to forecast even complex traits—like height or susceptibility to heart disease—from DNA. A world so saturated with genetic data will come with its own risks. The emergence of genetic surveillance states and the end of genetic privacy loom. Technical advances in encrypting genomes may help ameliorate some of those threats. The downtown area will have benefited greatly from revitalization efforts that will turn it into a vibrant, thriving destination for people wanting to live and play in an exciting urban environment.
Residents and visitors alike will enjoy an active retail streetscape lined with flower shops and open-air cafes. The human desire to create a life that matters is timeless. Your clients will insist on emotional intelligence.
This is your differentiator. Are you ready? Purely transactional relationships and providers who offer them are doomed to extinction. Your Internet of Things bedroom opens solar powered e-windows and plays gentle music while your smart lighting displays a montage of beachfront sunrises from your recent vacation.
Your shower uses very little water or soap. While you dress, your artificial intelligence AI assistant shares your schedule for the day and plays your favourite tunes. You still start your day with caffeine but it comes from your IoT refrigerator which is capable of providing a coffeehouse experience in your home. On the road, driverless cars and trucks move with mathematical precision, without traffic jams, routine maintenance or road rage. Accident rates are near zero. Your life-sized image is projected into the China Innovation Centre and your colleagues see you as if you were sitting in the room.
It's a bit surreal for them to see you in the morning light given that it's dark on the Bund, Shanghai's waterfront, though the novelty fades after a few uses. All these facilities are closely maintained and operated via a sophisticated predictive analytics platform. In the future, Light Field Displays may eliminate the need for a headset or display altogether, projecting 4D images directly onto your retinas from a point of focus.
These devices may eventually be as unobtrusive as a pair of sunglasses. Manufacturing jobs, touted by politicians and lured with massive subsidies, prove useful for a time, but will ultimately be swept aside by the same processes that rendered previous jobs obsolete.
Today, cat lovers crave exotic breeds, such as the toyger. Tomorrow, your family pet may be a genetically engineered tiger, yet the size of a common housecat. Should regulatory bodies ban CRISPR technologies in humans, underground labs will flourish worldwide, as parents aim to eliminate congenital genetic disorders or give their kids a heritable advantage in school and life.
This will create new disparities and stigmas. Whatever became of self determination? Why should the media, companies, and Govt tell us what we should do? Borrowing, adds cost which denies future capital. Eroding the value of the currency is the same thing. We could not afford the pandemic bill, they had trouble selling the paper to cover the deficit. Fed has no clue what to do going forward — favoring inflation?
The times of wishful thinking governance, like PCness are over. Shot down by the pursuit of phony wishes. What did we get or achieve for our money? The idea that income is or should be equal goes against fundamental economic principles. The Shimizu Corporation plans to start construction in All but one will be in Asia or Africa due to rapid urbanization on those continents.
In addition, new advances in medical technology will greatly improve human health, particularly nanobots, which will be implanted in the human body to augment the immune system. Ray Kurzweil argues that most diseases will have been wiped out by this time. In particular, Ray Kurzweil estimates that artificial intelligence will match human intelligence by this time, and that furthermore, humans will become hybrids with technology by , due to human brains being able to connect with computers and being fed information.
Cone, robots may replace one quarter of US soldiers by Furthermore, energy production will become more decentralized due to widespread use of solar panels and fuel cells by individual businesses and residences, and these grids will be able redirect surplus electricity to other buildings in their area through power lines.
