Future Business Tech2022.2.23---2100 年的十大技術

00 In 2100, significant technological advancements are changing the world forever. For example: 0:06 1. Humans Are Able To Merge With Artificial Super Intelligence 0:11 Humans have been able to use AI with technologies such as brain-computer interfaces, nanobots, 0:17 and virtual assistants for decades. 0:20 However, biological brains are now 100% 0:24 compatible with software, which opens up unprecedented possibilities. 0:29 It’s now possible to connect our brains with a super intelligent AI 0:34 and make ourselves a million times more intelligent. 0:38 This AI can guide us throughout everyday life and help us to instantly make optimal decisions 0:45 regardless of the situation. All we have to do is give it our primary life objectives and 0:51 the objectives we would like to achieve for each type of scenario and it does the rest. 0:57 With this technology: • We can view practically any situation as an 1:02 advanced math problem that we can easily solve • We can see 50 or more steps 1:07 ahead before taking any action • We can multiply our returns in stock 1:12 and crypto markets by orders of magnitude • We can predict seemingly unpredictable 1:18 scenarios hours or days before they occur • And we always know the best things to say 1:24 for every situation. For example, using this technology, 1:28 a politician could persuade non-enhanced people to do almost anything using only a few sentences. 1:35 Some people are willing to let these AIs run on autopilot for hours at a time. But 1:41 currently, this functionality is prohibited for safety reasons. 1:45 The only bottlenecks for this technology are peoples’ biological brains. 1:50 Once synthetic brains become more common, the cognitive functions of humans 1:55 could operate millions of times faster. From the perspective of someone in the early 2000s, 2:02 this would result in humans being able to make a century of intellectual progress in one hour. 2:09 2. The Hive Mind And Telepathy Are Becoming Mainstream 2:14 In 2100, humans are able to connect to a global network where the thoughts of 2:20 billions of people are made available. There are many names for this concept including the hive 2:26 mind, the global mind, and the brainternet. 2:30 Anytime, we want, we can connect to a global network where we can 2:34 access the thoughts of millions or even billions of people at a time. 2:39 This concept can help large groups of people achieve time-sensitive 2:44 objectives with unparalleled unison and cooperation. Companies, non-profits, 2:50 and political organizations are exploring the use of this concept to facilitate more organized work. 2:57 It’s even possible to access the memories and emotions of other people 3:02 in the cloud to experience them anytime you want. 3:05 However, it’s well-known that if this hive mind concept becomes over-used, 3:11 it could lead to people losing a sense of independence and free will. 3:16 Additionally, humans now have the ability to communicate with each other 3:20 telepathically. This means that we can instantly share our thoughts, 3:24 imagination, and emotions with people who are granted that information. This can lead to much 3:30 more personal and honest conversations with loved ones and friends. However, 3:36 there is the risk of sharing information that is potentially damaging or could lead to theft. 3:43 3. Hyper-Personalized Virtual Realities Are Being Built Using Brain Data 3:49 Traditionally, Metaverse companies built virtual worlds that appealed to certain demographics and 3:55 released them to the public. Now, this concept has been taken to another level. 4:01 It’s now possible to use peoples’ brain information to create full-dive virtual 4:06 realities that are customized to fulfill their every desire. In this reality, 4:12 all of their wishes and fantasies constantly come to life. Whatever can maximize 4:17 their feelings of happiness, joy, and pleasure are projected to them non-stop. 4:22 Users are like kings and queens in their personal realities. All of their opinions 4:28 and values are constantly praised and validated by characters they interact with. And they can 4:35 indulge in whatever fantasy they wish without even having to think about what they want. 4:41 No interest, no matter how weird or niche is ever denied in these realities. 4:47 And people are never bored in these realities 4:50 for a single second. More content is created in these realities than people are able to perceive. 4:57 Other information such as favorite books, movies, and video games are also inputted into 5:04 the software enabling these realities to change their scenery and make them more personalized. 5:10 Platforms are even being created where people can share their personalized experiences 5:16 with others. These types of realities are even expected to become primary destinations for 5:24 people who upload their consciousness to computers when that technology is made available. And this 5:30 technology will become even more realistic in the far future and could have quantum level of detail. 5:37 But on the flip side, virtual realities that offer completely opposite experiences are also 5:43 possible now. These realities are able to constantly manifest peoples’ greatest 5:49 fears and other negative emotions. Some countries are considering using them as 5:56 long-term punishment for criminals who commit the most heinous crimes. 6:01 4. Skills And Knowledge Can Be Downloaded To Peoples’ Brains 6:06 In 2060, humans gained the ability to directly connect their brains 6:11 to the internet using nanobots. This led to tremendous upgrades to memory recall, 6:17 real-time decision-making, and predictions. 6:21 Now, because of a vastly greater understanding of the human brain and new capabilities to 6:27 merge it with software, it’s possible to download skills and facts directly into a person’s brain. 6:34 When people download skills, those skills integrate with parts of the brain responsible 6:39 for motor control. This allows those people to learn self-defense, become an expert in any sport, 6:46 or be taught to operate any vehicle, all within a matter of seconds. 6:50 When people download knowledge, that knowledge immediately integrates with 6:55 parts of the brain responsible for memory and strategic planning. This allows those people 7:01 to learn topics like computer science, biology, and history without ever picking up a textbook. 7:08 This development is leading to the end of education in a traditional sense. Why read a 7:14 book or take a class when you can instantly download that information to your brain? 7:20 There are even cloud services that allow you to stream skills 7:24 and knowledge directly from the cloud in real-time. 7:27 This technology can also vastly improve intelligence because it can 7:32 instantly grant advanced knowledge and skills related to pattern recognition, 7:38 logic, critical thinking, problem-solving, and increased vocabulary. 7:42 Because of these types of advancements in transhumanism over the last 4 decades, transhumans 7:50 are thousands of years ahead in intellectual development compared to non-upgraded humans. 7:56 And natural human thinking now possesses no advantage over computerized minds. 8:02 A significant segment of the population still refuses to accept this type of technology 8:09 and the world appears too fast and strange for them from their increasingly limited perspective. 8:16 This is creating a major division in society. 8:19 5. Floating Cars And Room-Temperature Superconductors Are Mainstream 8:24 By 2100, room-temperature superconductors are utilized in numerous industries and 8:30 have transformed much of the world's infrastructure and road networks. 8:35 The most noticeable innovation resulting from it 8:38 is a variety of new hovering and flying vehicles that can glide effortlessly above the ground. 8:46 In a city of today, it’s common to witness floating cars, pods, 8:51 and other vehicles gliding smoothly through the air. 8:54 They float over a cushion of magnetism and they’re powered by wireless energy transmitted from pads 9:01 embedded in the ground. Outside a building, it’s becoming increasingly common to see 9:06 a parked vehicle floating stationary in the air. Even the building itself may incorporate 9:13 structures, signs, or architectural elements that float above the ground. 9:18 Car accidents are decreasing year-after-year because floating cars can adjust their 9:24 altitudes when near pedestrians and simply glide above them. Incidents 9:29 of roadkill are also being reduced, which used to account for millions of animal deaths per year. 9:36 Some of the wealthiest and most hi-tech districts have already upgraded their entire road 9:42 networks to cater to levitating vehicles. As more and more routes become available, 9:48 being able to travel in three dimensions rather than two enables faster travel times. 9:54 Room-temperature superconductors are transforming numerous other areas. For example: 10:00 • Lossless power transmission is now possible, which enables 10:04 perfect transmission over huge distances. • Superconducting wires can capture and 10:09 store electricity indefinitely, which means battery degradation is no longer a problem. 10:15 • Computers, tablets and other electronics can be made to run cooler, more efficiently, 10:22 and with far less energy consumption. • Compact nuclear fusion is now emerging, 10:27 which is especially useful in space travel. • High-end, portable medical imaging is 10:33 more efficient and it’s available in smaller form 10:37 factors than ever before • And large-scale science 10:41 facilities such as particle accelerators now need less energy and capital costs 10:47 6. Memory, Thought, And Emotion Editing Is Becoming Mainstream 10:53 It’s now possible to edit your memories, thoughts, and emotions using brain-computer interfaces 11:00 and specialized software. This software is used in specialized medical clinics to prevent misuse. 11:08 This is helpful for people who relive terrifying experiences and want to get rid 11:14 of their flashbacks. And for people who repeatedly have thoughts that 11:19 cause depression and anxiety. By using this technology, those flashbacks and thoughts 11:25 and the emotions they trigger can be largely gone forever with just a few mouse clicks. 11:31 It’s possible to eliminate addictions forever using this 11:34 technology. The neurotransmitter spikes that some people experience when thinking about their 11:35 sources of addiction can be identified and eliminated in under a few minutes. 11:35 It’s also possible to make yourself more motivated 11:39 to achieve success in any endeavor. And you can eliminate any fear holding you back as well. 11:46 Even the emotion of happiness can be programmed into someone’s mind at reasonable levels. 11:53 7. Force Fields Are Becoming Mainstream 11:56 By 2100, a combination of several unique technologies, stacked together in layers, 12:04 has led to a radical new form of invisible protective shielding. When activated, it provides 12:10 an instant, near-impenetrable field that can withstand hits from most types of weaponry. 12:17 The outer layer consists of a supercharged plasma window, shaped into a dome or sphere 12:23 by electromagnetic fields. This is hot enough to vaporize most incoming metals. 12:30 A secondary layer underneath contains millions of curved laser beams, producing a high-energy 12:37 web that captures projectiles fast or powerful enough to bypass the plasma window. 12:44 A third layer consists of a mesh made from trillions of carbon nanotubes. 12:50 These three layers are able to protect against a majority of bullets, bombs and projectiles. 12:57 However, they’re almost useless against lasers. A fourth and final layer takes care of this 13:04 problem. This final layer uses photochromatic particles, which change their properties when 13:11 exposed to laser light. These particles neutralize most types of energy blasts. 13:18 In addition to warzones, these multilayered force fields are used in a variety of other situations. 13:25 National borders are starting to use this technology in hot spots and they’re more 13:30 secure as a result. Corporate and luxury venues owned by the rich 13:36 are increasingly using force fields as protection. A number of satellites are 13:41 being fitted with this technology to withstand impacts with other objects. 13:47 Farther in the future, this technology could be used to produce some of the most effective 13:53 shields and body armor that the world has ever seen. However, there could still be a chance 13:59 of being injured by shockwaves from large projectiles and explosions. 14:05 8. Femtoengineering Is Now Possible In 2100, technology on the scale of 14:11 quadrillionths of a meter has recently emerged. This is three orders of magnitude smaller than 14:18 picotechnology and six orders of magnitude smaller than nanotechnology. 14:24 Engineering at this scale involves working directly with the finest known structures 14:29 of matter such as quarks and strings to manipulate the properties of atoms. This 14:35 development is a further step towards the teleportation of objects visible to 14:41 the naked eye. Significant breakthroughs in force field generation are already resulting 14:47 from this technology. And developments regarding anti-gravity might benefit from it as well. 14:54 Another area that will see major progress is in materials technology. Metals will be 15:00 produced which are capable of withstanding enormous pressures and heat. For example, 15:06 we could create probes capable of traveling into the Sun and tunneling machines that can penetrate 15:13 the Earth's crust into the layers of magma beneath. Longer-term, this development will pave 15:20 the way for interstellar ships that can withstand the massive forces involved in lightspeed travel. 15:27 Other more exotic materials are becoming possible including transparent metals, 15:33 highly luminous metals, frictionless surfaces, and ultra-dense but extremely lightweight 15:40 structures. As with many areas of science, femtoengineering is being guided by advanced AIs, 15:47 which are now trillions upon trillions of times more powerful than human intelligence. 15:53 Additionally, this technology will enable self-replicating nanobots to replace any type 16:00 of matter imaginable (including biological organisms) and spread throughout any area 16:06 relatively quickly. This is an effective way to infuse any environment with computronium, which 16:13 is a form of programmable matter that can perform computation, that users can wirelessly control. 16:20 9. Personal Health Pods Are Commonplace For The Upper-Class 16:25 In 2100, many functions previously performed in clinical settings can be automated and supplied 16:33 to patients in their homes. Full-body scanners that can provide a wide range 16:38 of diagnoses and treatments are now a common household appliance for wealthy individuals. 16:46 These devices are also available in medical clinics where most people can pay to use them. 16:53 Personal health pods come in a variety of form factors but 16:58 typically consist of a cylindrical capsule about six and a half feet in size. 17:05 The user either stands or lies down for the procedure, which takes a matter of seconds. 17:11 Cameras with sub-nanometer precision obtain images at trillions of frames per second, 17:18 panning from head to toe, while tracking and adjusting for even the slightest movement. 17:24 Every region of the body undergoes real-time 3D analysis. Each region is pinged for any 17:31 high-risk changes or abnormalities since the previous scan to determine spots that need 17:38 further attention. A summary is then provided to the user, ranked in order of severity. 17:45 For simple health problems, this machine can recommend a drug or other medication. For 17:51 issues that require surgery, treatment can be provided by robotic arms, robotic tools, 17:58 lasers, or nanobots. Nanobots can be injected and then guided with a combination of magnets 18:05 and their own tiny motors. For a transhuman individual, who may already have extensive 18:12 implants and upgrades, many of these remedies may be unnecessary. 18:17 For the most part, treatment of illnesses that were once life-threatening is now relatively 18:23 routine. In later decades, further adoption of these health pods along with new advances 18:29 in science could lead to cancer deaths being largely eliminated in most countries. 18:36 10. Large-Scale Arcologies Are Emerging As An Alternative To Traditional Cities 18:43 By 2100, environmental issues and resource depletion have forced humanity 18:49 to drastically readdress the way urban areas are designed. And cities have already become 18:55 increasingly dense and self-contained in Northern Europe, Russia, Canada, and Western Antarctica. 19:03 As a result, arcologies have begun to emerge. Each of these arcologies can condense an entire 19:10 city into one massive structure. These towers are some of the largest structures ever built. 19:17 They can cover a few miles in girth and are typically one mile in height. 19:22 This scale of engineering has been made possible with the use of carbon nanotubes that can cope 19:29 with the massive forces involved. The sheer size and strength of arcologies make them 19:36 virtually immune to earthquakes, hurricanes, and other disasters. 19:41 Each of these self-contained structures holds everything it needs 19:45 for human survival. Automation is ubiquitous in these structures with intelligent robots 19:51 managing almost all construction and maintenance. And energy is provided by solar panels embedded 19:59 in their exteriors along with wind turbines surrounding the structures. 20:04 Highly efficient transport systems are located throughout these structures to move 20:10 travelers horizontally, vertically or diagonally. And this kind of hyper-dense urban environment 20:18 allows movement around a city at speeds unheard of in previous centuries. 20:24 Thanks for watching.
