32 Developments Expected to Happen in the Next 37 Years

Humanity has a structure that takes shape depending on technological developments. When we develop our weapons, we go to war, when we find a cure for a disease, we cause new diseases. In this never-ending cycle; We take two steps forward, one step, sometimes even 10 steps back. However, after long periods of time, we continue to evolve. We always follow a little behind what should happen.

We predict that our cars will fly one day in the early 1900s, we produce those vehicles in the 2000s, and then we realize that we did not create the appropriate traffic conditions for everyone to drive a flying car. There are some among us who think that it is unnecessary to look at these developments only from a logical framework and to make unnecessary excitement.

With the TeknoFuture series, we continue to take a closer look at the developments that make sense and rekindle your excitement. Today, we are looking at the developments that are expected to be experienced until 2053.

2019: Beyond fingerprints

Eye-recognition systems in our smartphones are now widespread thanks to infrared light lengths. Likewise, facial recognition technologies are now an important part of the computers in our pockets. In China, where 1.4 billion people live, pigeon-like drones are observing the public. The requirement to show documents for identity verification at airports is gradually disappearing.

Devices that recognize us with our eyes and faces have made fingerprint technologies a thing of the past. What about smart phones that you can control with your eye and face movements? Wait for 2019 and beyond.

2020: Check-up papers

We actually have enough diagnostic technology for diseases like Ebola, swine flu, Zika, tuberculosis and more. The real challenge is to bring these technologies to regions where diseases occur. Health is still one of the most expensive things in the world. Scientists are working on a technique that will make it cheaper. In the near future, we will see the proliferation of very inexpensive diagnostic tools made of specially designed paper.

2023: Designer antibiotics

Artificial antibiotics, which can be shaped specifically for the structure of each disease and virus, will begin to become widespread. Research conducted since the beginning of the 2000s has now begun to yield results.

2024: Edible robots

You read right, yes we will eat robots, but not in the way you think. Programmable micro-bots will be used to enter your body with pills, heal your injuries and discover the sources of nervous diseases.

2026: Smart clothes

Clothes that can change size and color will be produced thanks to fabrics with nano-pores, miniature and flexible electronic circuits. These clothes will also have the function of keeping cold or warm according to the weather conditions. It must be quite functional for those who will continue to live in an increasingly warming Earth.

2027: Internet pulling everywhere

The mini-satellites that will surround the Earth and will be positioned in close orbit will engulf our planet with a communication wall where they are connected to each other wirelessly. The internet will become cheaper, faster and more accessible over time.

2028: Volcano mining

The era of digging the ground for the extraction of precious stones and minerals is coming to an end. Now it’s time to mine in that sea of ​​flames, in that extremely hot lava layer under the earth’s crust. Of course, not with human miners, but with advanced and extremely heat-resistant machines… Let’s make a note: A significant part of mines such as diamond are located in giant rocks floating in the lava sea just below you.

2029: Batteries transforming carbon

The biggest obstacle in front of technological developments is energy and energy storage systems. We still charge phones twice a day. Batteries that produce electricity by absorbing the carbon dioxide around you are very close. They’re a little expensive for now, but they’re just about to get cheaper.

Same year: Quantum computing for everyone with Spintronic

The quantum movements of electrons, which we have not yet fully discovered, will enable us to produce a new generation of electronic circuits. This understanding, which is now called “spitronics”, will allow electronic circuits to change radically. The use of quantum computers by everyone will also be possible depending on the spintronic revolution.

2030: Genetic therapy pills

Controlled genetic mutations in labs will now be possible with pills wherever you want. These micro-mutations will be used to treat diseases. Those who are curious can search for the ISG15 mutation.

2031: Diamond batteries

Specially designed diamond-sourced systems will make it possible to convert radioactive waste into electrical energy.

2032: What about optogenetics?

Symptoms such as Alzheimer’s, autism, schizophrenia and Parkinson’s have not yet been fully elucidated by the scientific world. For example, there is still no clear explanation about the source of autism. A new branch of research called “optogenetics”, which will start in the 2020s, may begin to give its results in the early 2030s. These diseases can be cured thanks to new techniques.

2033: Nanotechnology on the cheap

How many people have you seen wearing clothes that do not burn in any way? Nanotechnological possibilities aren’t limited to fashion, but they cost more than keeping up with fashion. The materials, which are expected to be produced with inspiration from DNA helixes, will enable everyone to reach nanotechnology.

In the same year: Solar panels that will cost exorbitantly cheap

The vast majority of people still consume coal-based grid electricity. Since solar panels are expensive, structures that produce their own energy cannot become widespread. Perovskite, a calcium-derived mineral, could be the solution. We will start to see high-tech, more efficient and considerably cheaper solar panels in the early 2030s.

2034: Quantum internet

A technique called “Quantum Field Deployment (QKD)”, which is currently a product of studies in the field of quantum physics, will begin to be used on satellites. In this way, the foundations of a more stable, smart and fast internet technology called quantum internet will be laid. These networks will never be hacked, according to scientists.

2035: Organic artificial materials

With artificial materials inspired by living organisms; We will see self-cleaning clothes, buildings that repair themselves, screens that self-repair cracks and scratches.

2036: MEDIAUM ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE REVOLUTION

With artificial intelligence that can analyze current weather conditions, political events and even electrons, it will be easier to predict the near future. Today, we see the first steps of this technology in giant industrial companies. Artificial intelligence, which calculates with small indications in production machines, notifies the company of possible production problems. Thus, production is not interrupted.

Same year: Designer molecules

Artificial molecules made from superatoms can be used to produce smart materials. In this way, we will see materials such as composite, which have a very important place in today’s world.

2037: Everyone will have a 3D printer in their home

3D printer technologies, which are very expensive today, will become cheaper and start to enter everyone’s home. Moreover, they will be able to print not only plastic figurines, but also medicines, meals and even electronic circuits.

2038: Computer screens to surround us

Computers with screens that surround the person, which we see in science fiction movies, will begin to take place in consumer electronics. We will open the doors of a new world on these screens where you can interact with your body movements without a sensor on you.

2039: INDEPENDENT ENERGY REVOLUTION

Renewable energy sources are available to everyone, depending on previous developments. It will allow us to see fully self-sufficient buildings, factories and houses. For emergencies, you will use the batteries that you will connect to your home, and you will now charge your car in this way. These are possible today, but they will take time to become widespread.

2040: Genetic coding

We will begin to see supercomputers that can be encoded just like DNA, with DNA-size processors that have the processing power of the electronic circuits you are reading this article. Of course, it will take a long time for it to become widespread.

Same year: Genetically coded babies

People will be able to genetically engineer the ideal babies they want to have. Although some technologies available today allow this, it will take time for the problems to be resolved and widespread. With ethical problems and discussions, we will see experts who take this work to different dimensions in the TV programs of the future.

2041: Holographic pets

Artificial intelligence software will come to a position that can react according to emotions, and you will be able to see holograms in your home, which can understand and react to you, with hologram technologies developing simultaneously. Of course, there is a very open-ended technological development.

2043: Space travel with microwave rockets

With rockets that can go into space using microwave technologies, the fate of our space travel will change. More people will be able to travel to space more often.

2044: By the power of fission!

Fusion energy, which is one of our greatest hopes in solving energy-related problems, will be widely used around the world. We will see factories and cities with fusion reactors in front of them instead of transformers.

2045: Man-made energy sources in space

The wings of the satellites currently orbiting the Earth, which are actually solar panels, will not soon be powered by direct sunlight. Instead, mirrors sent to space will be able to solve the energy needs of many satellites at the same time, more cheaply.

Same era: Quantum revolution

Quantum computer systems will now take over most human-related tasks in fields such as astronomy, pharmaceuticals, architecture, economics. Today, new planets are being discovered without human intervention, with NASA-controlled satellites supported by Google.

2047: Genetic consciousness

Artificial genetic interventions will be possible for “osteocrine”, one of the most key genes of modern humans. This gene may enable some advanced technologies that will allow us to access our complex consciousness structure.

2049: The age of geo-engineering

We will try to treat the atmosphere with calcite-derived materials to cool our increasingly warming planet. This treatment will be like putting a patient who has no hope of life back on the operating table. However, humanity will continue to fight itself in order not to leave its home.

2050: Carbon dioxide rocks

The living conditions of our planet, which we destroy day by day, are starting to get tougher. We now live in a place called the Greenhouse Planet, crossing the border of no return. To combat high temperatures, we have developed a system that will petrify excess carbon dioxide in the atmosphere. We will now turn our biggest waste, carbon dioxide, into rocks and bury it underground.

2055: Way out of rising waters, living on them

We will no longer resist the rising sea waters due to glaciers melting at great speeds. It will not be possible to build a wall against water anytime soon. We will give up and start living in cities that we will build on water. In suitable regions, these cities will also be able to extend underwater.

In the second half of the 21st century, we will begin to urbanize in our new home waters, and we will even meet our energy needs from the oceans. Of course, it is not certain that all the developments in the list will take place in the said year. These developments, which are predicted from the results of scientific research that are still going on today, will change the lives of our grandchildren and their grandchildren.
