Card #2
“Man won’t fly for 50 years”, said Wilbur Wright in 1901. Two years later, he and his brother made the world’s first successful flight. Predicting the future is difficult, but at the Singularity University in California, you can actually study futurology. The University’s director is Ray Kurzweil, who predicts the huge increases in computer power will change the world dramatically. By 2045, we’ll probably be only the second most intelligent creatures on Earth, after computers. These computers might think, communicate and act so quickly that ordinary humans won’t be able to understand them. But of course, ordinary humans might not exist then – everybody may have computer chips inside their brains. Technology may also eradicate disease and increase life expectancy. If life expectancy increases faster than people age, nobody will die. This could cause other problems for Earth! |
