Professor' Kaku's talk on The Future of Technology (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=59Ejxp1tRss)
Future is very dangerous to make predictions. Neil's Bohr quoted that "prediction is awfully hard to do especially if it's about the future". Every Innovation that every scientist makes starts with a very simple thought which no one believe other than him that it is going to happen for example we take an internet . The Internet is high form of culture,art and society which is used to communicate and to develop technology but the present world 50% of internet is pornography. This shows that the scientist or inventor has no idea that internet can be used for this purpose we are the humans want to happen things easily and we finding wrong paths.
Mohr's law states that computer power doubles in 18 months. Electricity is everywhere in future intelligence is everywhere but no where we can access anything from anywhere. In future Glasses, Contact lens and Augmented Reality plays a major role that brain is replaced by the Internet.
This means the future is going to be more simple but it is not in one's hand to control his/her own self every thing is connected to internet . Digitalisation of life itself means if we want to buy some thing there is no second person with in seconds we can buy it.
Digitalisation of capitalism means there will be no media and no music everything is customised and there will be no question of cheating because consumer always wins in future because everything is digitalised. The robots will take place of many works in employment increase but garbagemen, policemen, construction labours places can't be replaced because every task is different so robots can't handle them.
We can record memories and upload our grand grand children also able to communicate with us using our memories and thoughts stored in chips. For every invention there is some damage to life which one cannot imagine so future is very dangerous to make prediction.
