What will the world look like –
10, 15, and 20 years?
“My prediction is that we are going to
ingest information—we’re going to
swallow a pill and know English and
swallow a pill and know Shakespeare. It
will go through the bloodstream and it will
know when it’s in the brain and, in the
right places, it deposits the information.”
Nicholas Negroponte, MIT Media Lab

Obsolete by 2025
Getting lost will take real creativity
Balding and greying will be a thing of the past
Plastic will be replaced by biopolymers made from cornstarch
End to coronary bypass surgery
End to daily shots for diabetics
Junk mail will no longer show up
Wires on headphones
Signatures will be obsolete
CDs, DVDs, VCRs, and cassette tapes
No more blackboards, desks, lockers, textbooks, report cards

The future is coming faster than we
think…Some futuristic predictions…
We will have personalized medicine
Japan will build a robotic moon base
Commercial Space will take us to the Moon and asteroids and
we'll be mining them
China will connect Beijing to London via high speed rail
Biofuels will be cost competitive with fossil fuels
Universal translation will be commonplace in mobile devices
We'll create a synthetic brain that functions like the real deal
We'll see some decent Augmented Reality glasses

But, we are preparing for careers
that don’t yet exist
11.
The top 10 in-demand jobs in
2010 did not even exist in 2004
65 percent of today’s grade school kids will end up at jobs that haven’t even
been invented yet

Google knows everything..
Today almost all
information can be
sourced from the
internet. All we need

questions on
GOOGLE!
2,000 new websites every
hour
300 hours of video is being
uploaded every minute
3.5 billion Google searches
a day
