Electric/self-driving cars
Electric cars are nothing new; they've been on our roads for some time
now and they're only getting better.
-Car batteries are lasting longer
-The charging station infrastructure is growing
-Self-driving technology is being heavily invested in meaning it's coming
sooner than we probably think.
Tesla already has a complex Autopilot mode that can take over some
driving controls, but one-day car manufacturers hope to let us go
completely hands-free.
Roads over rivers
Space is finite and running out quickly, especially in crowded urban
spaces.
This concept shows a future where roads and living spaces have moved
out over the waters.
HOME
Robot butlers
What if robots could help you with the home tasks? We already have the
beginnings with robot vacuum cleaners and smart home appliances.
Larger, more useful robots are springing up too. They could help us to
cook, give boxes and take care of our plants or animals when we aren’t in
our house.
Communication
Wearable screens
We might be currently daydreaming of foldable phones and screens, but
the future might well be screenless.
There are plenty of touch-capable projector-like devices that can beam
usable screens onto your skin, clothing or other surfaces. The future of
smartphone tech might not even require a device in your pocket but
something you wear or have implanted.
Entertainment
Cloud gaming without machines
Streaming films and music is perfectly normal nowadays. It won't be long
before we're doing the same with games too.
Imagine paying for service where you no longer need to own a console or
computer but can play high-end, modern games on your TV by streaming
from the cloud.
Faster broadband, better gaming technology and more reliable
infrastructure could soon make this a reality.
Health
Nanobots that check your health
Other robotic technology is being employed to monitor and care for our
health. Tiny microscopic Nanobots could theoretically be deployed to scan
and monitor our insides to hunt out health problems.
They might also be used to
-Repair damaged organs or carry out intricate and delicate surgery
procedures and remove the need for invasive traditional surgery.
-This could mean less time in hospital, less recovery time and fewer scars
too.
