According to Forbes, by 2050, 95% of electronics for new product design will have IoT technology, and by 2050 it is expected to be connected to the cloud and the internet. Space tourism could be possible in 2050 and it will probably be for the very wealthy. When we think of 2050, it feels like it’s ages from now and we envision a completely different world. But in reality, it’s only 30 years from now and we can already have some guess of what will be possible in that time. In 2050, we will see the world differently due to significant technological advancements, and let’s discuss some of these below. Space Elevator: A space elevator is a theoretically long, growing chain that will extend from the Earth’s surface to space. The center of mass of such a structure will be located in Geostationary Orbit 35,786 kilometers above the Earth’s surface. Here the geostationary orbit is the circular orbit whose period is 24 hours, that is, equal to the period of the Earth. Various electromagnetic vehicles, people and various types of heavy goods can move through this route. Although rockets are currently the only way to travel in space, it will be possible to operate this travel at a much lower cost and safely through elevators. Efforts are really underway to make this science fiction a reality. Japan’s famous construction company Obayashi Corporation has announced that they will build it by 2050. Again, China wants to build such an elevator by 2045. Although SpaceX founder Elon Musk has ruled out the possibility of creating such an elevator. Yet many engineers and scientists involved in this project believe that we will see a space elevator in our lifetime. Within this century, this alternative route to space may be created.
Bionic Eye: People suffering from blindness for various reasons can regain that vision through treatment. But for those who do not have eyes or have lost their eyes for some reason, bionic eyes are coming as a blessing. The world’s first bionic eye or eye is going to be created through brain transplantation. As a result of this innovation, visually impaired people will be able to see the world. A bionic eye developed by researchers in Hong Kong and the United States is giving hope to millions of people around the world, which can restore sight to the visually impaired. Robotic engineers are extremely optimistic about succeeding soon. Bionic eyes work basically like the human retina. Researchers have added as much precision as structural design is needed for this. Researchers at the Hong Kong University of Science and Technology (HKUST) say that it will be useful for those whose eyes are partially or completely blind.
The Hyperloop Tunnel: A planned and proposed method for the transportation of passengers and goods. Hyperloop is basically a type of vacuum train. Through Hyperloop technology, people and goods can be transported through a special capsule with very low air pressure. Although there are bogies or compartments in the general train, there will be capsules or pods in the hyperloop train. As such a pod moves through a tunnel or tube, the air pressure will be zero. As a result, the train will be able to run almost unhindered. And this tunnel or tube will be built through magnetic levitation or maglev technology. Currently, trains are running in Maglev technology in many countries. They are mainly popular as bullet trains. In the case of Hyper Loop, this technology will be inside the tunnel. Which will keep the pods floating in the electromagnetic suspension and electrodynamic suspension system by using the magnet’s magnetism religion and help to run at abnormal speed. This train can travel 930 miles or 1,500 kilometers continuously. If it is possible to run at maximum speed, it does not take more than 80-90 minutes to cross this path.
Brain–Computer Interface: Advanced technologies such as infrared switches, motion sensors, speech generated commands, virtual reality, augmented reality, artificial intelligence-based smart assistants have made this system easier to communicate with computers. Many people, with the help of advanced technology, are increasing their incompleteness, inability and limited level of performance. Anyone who cannot move their arms and legs can control the wheelchair. Anyone who does not have vision can give instructions to the computer with the help of voice-controlled software, getting results through speakers. That is, for interaction with computers, people have to take the help of some organs, even if they have to use a little muscle power. But those who do not have vision, hearing and speech, completely incomprehensible like Stephen Hawking, will not be able to communicate with the computer if they want. That is, they do not have the opportunity to use technology even though they have so many advantages. Even if it is, it is on a limited level. And this is where the brain-computer interface arrives.
Blockchain Technology: Blockchain technology is a type of digital ledger technology that records information. Transaction information is calculated in such a way that it is almost impossible to change, hack or cheat in the system. These transactions are distributed and recorded with the entire network of computer systems on the blockchain. Blockchain technology-based products (alternative currencies) like Bitcoin and Ethereum have gained immense popularity in the last few years. One of the most important reasons why blockchain technology is so popular is its transparency and immutability. It is a decentralized peer-to-peer network system in charge of which there is no specific person who will manage or control transactions like other centralized, traditional transactions. This technology works on the mutual understanding of those who have created it and those who are using it.
Virtual Reality (VR) and Augmented Reality (AR): The term virtual reality means “the reality ahead”. It can be called a kind of specific practical imitation. Presenting the three-dimensional state of experiencing imaginative things that are not really real, but capable of creating the idea of reality. By creating three-dimensional images in virtual reality, very impossible tasks can be made possible. If you want to walk on the wings of imagination, you can travel to the deepest regions of the Pacific Ocean, walk on the neuron connections of the human brain, and eat the stars of that giant dinosaur in Jurassic Park. Augmented reality is a technology that can be called an extended version of the real world. Augmented Reality (AR) will add a layer built on what you see in reality. And then the combination of real and virtual will create a new feeling, the experience of seeing everything from a different perspective. Augmented reality will show you what you want to see. Not only computer-generated images, it can contain sound, video, graphics, sense of touch, and even GPS data. Virtual reality is used, to do a tour, to enjoy 3D maps, 3D movies, 3D games, etc. Augmented reality, on the other hand, is used for interactive content, gaming, or if you want to invent something new in your world.
AI: If the explanation of artificial intelligence is to be said simply, then I would say that the system of artificially shaping human thinking through computer or computer technology-based devices. That is, it is a system where a machine can think like a human. Which can be called virtual human brain. In a word, the science or artificial intelligence of making computer programs or machines with equal intelligence of humans. Scientists predict that robotics will occupy most of the human workplace in the future. At present, many large factories in the world, on the battlefield and artificial intelligence are used. We may have heard of drones by now. This drone can enter a country’s radar and carry out widespread destruction. You don’t need a pilot to operate the drone. It can work very efficiently by using its own artificial intelligence. In 2050, artificial intelligence could surpass humans in most professions. It is expected that by the next 2050, the whole world will be successful in the above-mentioned technologies and our next generation will live in a new world with the latest technology.
