The World After 100 Years | Top 10 Facts | Tamil | Jenni's Vodcast
Description
Super skyscrapers: carbon nanotubes and diamond nanothreads will help us create towering megastructures that will dwarf today’s skyscrapers
Earth-scrapers: just as we build up, we will also dig down – huge structures will tunnel 25 storeys deep or more
Underwater cities: are likely to become a reality – using the water itself to create breathable atmospheres and generating hydrogen fuel through the process
Personal flying drones replacing cars and travelling holiday home: some of us will be travelling skyways with our own personal flying drones instead of using cars, with ‘drone mules’ strong enough to carry entire homes around the world for holidays, for a true ‘home away from home’ vacation experience
3D printing of houses and furniture: we will be able to print exact replicas of large scale structures like houses out of local, recyclable materials
Hyper-flexible living spaces and smart walls: flexible living spaces will adapt to our needs by changing room layouts and furniture, as moving partitions make a bedroom smaller and living room larger when receiving guests or malleable walls provide extra seats or shelving on demand. Smart LED room surfaces will mean you won’t need to re-decorate your home, as walls, floors and ceilings will adapt to suit your mood
3D-printed Michelin-starred meals: when it comes to entertaining, there will be no more botched recipes or pizza deliveries – instead we will be downloading dishes from famous chefs that we will tailor to our personal needs. We will be able to 3D-print a banquet or a favourite cake in minutes
Virtual meetings and a 3-day working week: our working lives will be transformed with the use of holograms which will allow us to attend meetings virtually, enabling us to interact truly as though in the same room as colleagues without needing to leave the comfort of our homes. Time saved travelling to and attending meetings could lead to a shorter working week thanks to improved time-efficiency
Stepping into home medi-pods will confirm if you really are ill, providing a digital diagnosis and supplying medicine or a remote surgeon if needed, meaning ‘pulling a sickie’ could be a thing of the past
