Nobody truly knows what the future holds, but we have a decent idea. Of course, these are just ideas that have surfaced, but with companies as powerful as Google, anything is possible.
Here are a few ideas of the future that if Google can get a hold of, could become a reality.
VISION ONE: ALIENS
Ray Kurzweil is one of the world’s leading futurists, and he says that technology could allow us to go to different planets. This could then allow us to be able to talk with aliens. Also, another futurist, Arthur C. Clarke, believes that the world already has the technology to do this. Are you listening, Google?
VISION TWO: THE EARTH
The future of planet Earth can be a scary thing to think about. Due to all of mankind’s faults, Earth may be in rubble in the future. However, as Ray points out, the technology could help with all of the environmental problems.
VISION THREE: POPULATION GROWTH
Many scientists and theorists have predicted that the Earth’s population is going to continue to rise. This leads to all sorts of problems with natural resources. The good thing is, as mentioned earlier, technology can help with the need for these resources.
VISION FOUR: TECHNOLOGY ITSELF
Technology could begin to literally take over our lives, and this is right up the alley of Google. Ray mentions how there may be a time when technology merges with the creators. This means that humans might be able to use space to gather energy. Just imagine what we could do with that technology.
VISION FIVE: INTELLIGENT MACHINES
Google has already started working with AI, and it could become a bigger phenomenon. Ray mentions how these intelligent machines will be the future, and that we will soon share the world with robots. However, that can be a scary thing to think about.
