Future of world
1. Future Of WORLD
The future always feels like it’s running late. Human imagination works harder than
human enterprise, but at any given moment, scientists and engineers are
redesigning future technology and the world around us in big and small ways. We
don’t realise it because we’ve lived through it, but the rate of progress over the last
half century has been abnormal – staggering in fields as broad as computing,
medicine, communications and materials science.

Still, nobody has a personal jetpack that runs on perpetual energy, so the work must
continue. We’ve put our futurologist far-seeing goggles on and put together a list of
some of the most exciting future technologies that will change our world. From bionic
human beings to technology that could fix the climate crisis, these are some of the
biggest of big ideas.
Lab-made dairy products
You’ve heard of cultured “meat” and Wagyu steaks grown cell by cell in a laboratory,
but what about other animal-based foodstuffs? A growing number of biotech
companies around the world are investigating lab-made dairy, including milk,
ice-cream, cheese and eggs. And more than one think they’ve cracked it.
The dairy industry is not environmentally friendly, not even close. It’s responsible for
4 percent of the world’s carbon emissions, more than air travel and shipping
combined, and demand is growing for a greener splash to pour into our tea cups and
cereal bowls.
Digital “twins” that track your health
2. In Star Trek, where many of our ideas of future technology germinated, human
beings can walk into the medbay and have their entire body digitally scanned for
signs of illness and injury. Doing that in real life would, say the makers of Q Bio,
improve health outcomes and alleviate the load on doctors at the same time.
The US company has built a scanner that will measure hundreds of biomarkers in
around an hour, from hormone levels to the fat building up in your liver to the
markers of inflammation or any number of cancers. It intends to use this data to
produce a 3D digital avatar of a patient’s body – known as a digital twin – that can be
tracked over time and updated with each new scan.
Green funerals
Sustainable living is becoming a priority for individuals squaring up to the realities of
the climate crisis, but what about eco-friendly dying? Death tends to be a
carbon-heavy process, one last stamp of our ecological footprint. The average
cremation reportedly releases 400kg of carbon dioxide into the atmosphere, for
example. So what’s a greener way to go?
In Washington State in the US, you could be composted instead. Bodies are laid in
chambers with bark, soil, straw and other compounds that promote natural
decomposition. Within 30 days, your body is reduced to soil that can be returned to a
3. garden or woodland. Recompose, the company behind the process, claims it uses
an eighth of the carbon dioxide of a cremation.
Artificial eyes
Bionic eyes have been a mainstay of science fiction for decades, but now real-world
research is beginning to catch up with far-sighted storytellers. A raft of technologies
is coming to market that restore sight to people with different kinds of vision
impairment.
In January 2021, Israeli surgeons implanted the world’s first artificial cornea into a
bilaterally blind, 78-year-old man. When his bandages were removed, the patient
could read and recognise family members immediately. The implant also fuses
naturally to human tissue without the recipient’s body rejecting it.
Likewise in 2020, Belgian scientists developed an artificial iris fitted to smart contact
lenses that correct a number of vision disorders. And scientists are even working on
wireless brain implants that bypass the eyes altogether.
Researchers at Monash University in Australia are working on trials for a system
whereby users wear a pair of glasses fitted with a camera. This sends data directly
to the implant, which sits on the surface of the brain and gives the user a
rudimentary sense of sight.
Living robots
4. Tiny hybrid robots made using stem cells from frog embryos could one day be used
to swim around human bodies to specific areas requiring medicine, or to gather
microplastic in the oceans.
“These are novel living machines,” said Josh Bongard, a computer scientist and
robotics expert at the University of Vermont, who co-developed the millimetre-wide
bots, known as xenobots.
“They’re neither a traditional robot nor a known species of animal. It’s a new class of
artefact: a living, programmable organism.”
