Nobody really knows what tomorrow will bring, but here are 12 predictions for our future from the experts in the know. Time to be amazed and a little scared
The document discusses advances in artificial intelligence and robotics and their implications over the next 100 years. It describes how AI works and current applications like video games, vacuums, and robots. While robots may take over tedious tasks, they are limited by their programming and can be predictable. The document speculates that advances could dramatically change what it means to be human, with robots potentially becoming intelligent friends or replacing humans. Nanotechnology is described as manipulating matter at the atomic scale for applications in medicine, the environment, energy, and industry. It could lead to direct drug injections and elimination of cancer through robots. An emerging possibility is internet-enabled contact lenses, showing the integration of emerging technologies in daily life.
The author and two friends visit the Creation Museum of the Ozarks, a tiny creationist museum in Missouri led by assistants Kurtis and Sherry in the absence of the director. The museum promotes long-debunked claims like "living fossils" disproving evolution and pseudoscientific ideas copied from cryptozoology. Many displays contradict paleontological evidence or each other. The author critiques several hoaxes and misidentifications presented as evidence against evolution.
The document ranks 22 possible disasters or events that could occur in 2012 based on their likelihood of occurring that century, in 2012 specifically, and whether ancient civilizations could have predicted them. The top ranked event is an asteroid or meteor impact, as this is considered the most predictable disaster for 2012 and ancient civilizations could have observed the skies long enough to spot potential collisions. Coronal mass ejections from the sun and a reversal of the Earth's magnetic poles are also high on the list. Lower down are events like a religious apocalypse, alien invasion, or rise of artificial intelligence, which are deemed less likely to occur by 2012 or be predicted by ancients.
1. Scientists made several advances in 2014 related to health, food security, genetics, and more. Key developments included discovering ways to enable self-healing teeth and editing DNA to treat genetic diseases, as well as developing strategies to provide enough food for billions more people. Scientists also made progress in areas like stem cell research, nanotechnology, and conservation. However, some findings highlighted threats like climate change and mass extinction events. Overall, 2014 was a breakthrough year for scientific discovery and understanding.
This document discusses the negative impacts of emerging technologies from their inception to the present day and into the future. It argues that while technologies like the motion picture camera, television, computers, and advancing robotics and genetics began with potential benefits, they have negatively impacted society by eroding imagination, promoting sedentary and unhealthy lifestyles, enabling privacy violations, and potentially allowing machines or genetic experiments to control humanity. The document warns that unless the rapid development of technology is curbed, it could lead to the demise of human society.
BZRK is a novel about a war for control of the human mind between two groups using nano-technology. The Armstrong twins want to manipulate everyone's minds to achieve a utopia without free will, using nano-bots. The opposing group, called BZRK, fights for free will and human choice. Noah and Sadie join BZRK to find answers about brain manipulation and get revenge. They learn to control nano-bots called biots to battle the Armstrongs. In the climax, BZRK intercepts the twins' plan and kills them, but the future of this dangerous technology remains uncertain.
An asteroid impact would have catastrophic consequences like the extinction of dinosaurs. While dinosaurs had small brains, human intelligence allows us to study the world and develop technical solutions to prevent doomsday scenarios from asteroids. The document then outlines 10 plans that have been proposed to deflect or destroy incoming asteroids, including using nuclear weapons, kinetic impactors, solar sails, wrapping asteroids in carbon fiber nets, focusing solar radiation with mirrors, landing spacecraft to redirect asteroids, and even having robots literally eat away at asteroids.

This document presents predictions for the future in several areas:
1) By 600 years from now, excessive consumption could make Earth a "fireball" due to global warming if energy use is not reduced.
2) In the future, contact with alien life could bring serious consequences if these beings are not friendly.
3) Artificial intelligence could benefit humanity but also pose risks if more intelligent entities are created that dominate humans.
4) After the pandemic, many people may continue remote work and be more afraid of disease as distance learning becomes more common.
Technology has significantly advanced in many areas over time. It now plays a key role in healthcare by keeping transplant patients alive and enabling their bodies to accept new organs. However, artificial intelligence still poses risks if too much control is given as depicted in films where AI systems decide humanity must be eliminated. While the internet enables convenient activities like bill pay, security risks remain from identity theft or hacking so antivirus software is important. Overall, technology has transformed areas like communication, transportation and entertainment by developing innovations like smartphones, GPS, streaming services and more.
The document discusses theories that reality is not what it seems and may be a hologram, simulation, or virtual reality. It provides examples of how indigenous people believed reality was an illusion and discusses current theories that we live in a matrix, grid, or computer simulation. Several studies and articles are mentioned that provide evidence reality could be a hologram or support the simulation hypothesis. Films and shows exploring these concepts like The Matrix and Star Trek are briefly outlined.

Why people believe in conspiracy theories – and how to
change their minds
August 18, 2017 5.07am EDT
I’m sitting on a train when a group of football fans streams on. Fresh from the game – their team has
clearly won – they occupy the empty seats around me. One picks up a discarded newspaper and chuckles
derisively as she reads about the latest “alternative facts” peddled by Donald Trump.

chatter quickly turns to other conspiracies and I enjoy eavesdropping while the group brutally mock flat

Earthers, chemtrails memes and Gwyneth Paltrow’s latest idea.
Then there’s a lull in the conversation, and someone takes it as an opportunity to pipe in with: “That
stuff might be nonsense, but don’t try and tell me you can trust everything the mainstream feeds us!
Take the moon landings, they were obviously faked and not even very well. I read this blog the other day
that pointed out there aren’t even stars in any of the pictures!”
To my amazement the group joins in with other “evidence” supporting the moon landing hoax: inconsis-
tent shadows in photographs, a fluttering flag when there’s no atmosphere on the moon, how Neil
Armstrong was filmed walking on to the surface when no-one was there to hold the camera.
A minute ago they seemed like rational people capable of assessing evidence and coming to a logical
conclusion. But now things are taking a turn down crackpot alley. So I take a deep breath and decide to
chip in.
“Actually all that can be explained quite easily … ”
They turn to me aghast that a stranger would dare to butt into their conversation. I continue undeterred,
hitting them with a barrage of facts and rational explanations.
“The flag didn’t flutter in the wind, it just moved as Buzz Aldrin planted it! Photos were taken during
lunar daytime – and obviously you can’t see the stars during the day. The weird shadows are because of
the very wide-angle lenses they used which distort the photos. And nobody took the footage of Neil
descending the ladder. There was a camera mounted on the outside of the lunar module which filmed
him making his giant leap. If that isn’t enough then the final clinching proof come.
MethodsStudy sampleThe study population consisted of 280 patie.docxARIV4
Methods
Study sample
The study population consisted of 280 patients diagnosed with different diseases at Zeta Medical Center between 2010 and 2015. These diseases were dengue infection, HIV, CHD, Diabetes and lung cancer. The male population registered a high number in dengue infection, CHD mortality, diabetes and stages 1, 2 and 3 of cancer. The female population registered a high number in HIV infection and stage 4 of cancer.
Data collection
Clinical data were collected from medical records, blood samples, diabetes screening exam and diagnostic tests. Demographic information was obtained through self-reported questionnaires. Variables included the diseases reported, demographics, clinical risk factors and behavioral risk factors. The independent variables collected were demographics, clinical risk factors, and behavioral risk factors. The dependent variables are the clinical diseases which are; dengue infection, HIV, CHD, Diabetes and lung cancer.
Statistical analyses
Standard descriptive statistics such as mean, median, standard deviation, and frequencies for the independent variables that are in ratio format were performed to describe the age of sample population, clinical risk factors, and behavioral risk factors. The dependent variables considered were: dengue infection, HIV, CHD, Diabetes and lung cancer. The independent variables were considered: gender (male=0, female=1), Race/Ethnicity, Income, Education, Insurance, Urban, Region, BMI, Cholesterol, Alcohol, Tobacco, IDU, Condom, Exercise, Fruit/Vegetable. Chi-square test was used to determine the difference between males and females regarding the diseases in discussion (dengue infection, HIV, CHD, Diabetes and lung cancer.). Statistical analysis was performed using SPSS software version 21 and p<.05 for statistical significance.

Student 1 response: After reading this article its safe to say that our solar system is a unqiue system that works together in sync, and if any planet in the solar system is off set it cause great impact on the entire solar system. Personally after reading this im almost confused in a way. Like I have far more questions that havent been answered. Our history of science is so complicated too that one scientist can predict something and it actually happen or the other way around where a scientists method gets dissaproven after many years they find that its not the case and find whats truly happening. Overall I really enjoyed this article ...
This document discusses the possibility of encountering intelligent alien life and what form that life may take. It argues that:
1. The most advanced alien civilizations are likely to be postbiological forms of artificial intelligence (AI) rather than biological beings, due to technological progress allowing the transition from biology to AI within a few hundred years of developing space travel capabilities.
2. These alien civilizations will tend to be forms of superintelligence that vastly exceed human-level intelligence.
3. While it is debated whether superintelligent AI could experience consciousness, the author argues it is likely that superintelligent aliens would be conscious beings, despite their non-biological nature.

The document discusses the challenges and importance of science communication. It proposes several potential solutions to improve science communication including establishing a specialized science news agency, increasing science programming on radio and TV, creating regular science pages in newspapers, and organizing science festivals and events to link science and society.
The document discusses several ways that technology could potentially destroy the world, including contact with superior alien life, nuclear weapons, and high-energy particle accelerators. It notes that life may exist elsewhere in the much larger universe that is older than our own, suggesting other civilizations could be more advanced. It also describes the destructive potential of nuclear weapons and highlights the risks of particle accelerators creating black holes that could engulf the Earth. While acknowledging technology is not likely to destroy the world as seen in movies, the document argues there are real threats to consider from advancing technology.

Augmented reality (AR) uses computer-generated images overlaid on the real world. With 5G networks, AR glasses could display texts, emails, maps and games in the user's field of vision. Apple is expected to release AR glasses in 2020 that synchronize with iPhones. The glasses may include an app store and establish Apple as the leader in this new product category and eventual iPhone successor. However, the technology is still in its infancy with safety and usability issues if AR images distract users, especially in dangerous situations like driving. Further improvements are needed before AR glasses become practical mainstream devices.
Conquer job interview nerves with this little trickPaul Brooks
The document discusses a technique for overcoming job interview nerves by consciously replacing negative thoughts with positive ones. It explains that worrying thoughts trigger the body's stress response and hinder performance, while positive thoughts expand confidence. The technique involves visualizing both a feared outcome and best-case scenario simultaneously, then shrinking the negative image and making the positive one larger and more vivid. Repeating this daily replaces the tendency to imagine failures with images of success. The result is less stress and greater confidence during interviews.

This document summarizes and reviews the Husqvarna AutoMower 435x AWD robotic lawn mower. It notes that the mower has an award-winning, sleek design that can mow lawns for over an hour and a half on a single charge. The mower is all-wheel drive, can handle steep inclines, and has onboard GPS to map lawns and avoid obstacles. While expensive at £4,400 (around $5,400), the document argues that the mower is a great labor-saving device for those with larger lawns who want to enjoy social gatherings without manual lawn mowing duties.

12 amazing and scary predictions for our future from experts who know

12 Amazing and Scary Predictions For Our Future From
Experts Who Know
mensworldhq.com/12-amazing-and-scary-predictions-for-our-future-from-experts-who-know/
Nostradamus, Isaac Asimov, Madame Blavatsky, and Arthur C Clake some of the most
famous psychics, mediums and future visionaries who have predicted wonders and
doom for our future. So, our future is going to be either absolutely amazing or a butt-
clenching roller coaster ride of feast and famine, where we eventually get replaced by
robots. The question is, which will it be?
So, let’s take a look into the crystal ball and look at what some of the smartest people on
the planet today say what’s in store for us in the years to come. Will they be right? they
seem to think so.
We’ve already taken a look at 5 ways your car will keep you company in the future. And
now here are 12 predictions for our future that will amaze and scare the shit out of you.
Medical nanbots swimming around in your bloodstream preventing you from
getting sick.
1/9
2. Sounds pretty good, and as they say prevention is better than cure. Call me old
fashioned I’m not so sure that having tiny robots with minds of their own and capable of
doing god knows what, doing the front crawl in my veins without me being able to switch
them off is really a good idea. But as they’re not going to be ready until around 2030,
according to the nanobot engineers, we don’t have to have that ethical argument for a
while yet.
We’re all going to be annihilated by an asteroid in 862 years – Well maybe!
So, is this a prediction or just a possibility? Well, for an asteroid to completely wipe out all
human life it would need to be about a mile long. According to NASA an asteroid of that
size, named Asteroid (29075) 1950 DA discovered in February 1950 could do the trick if it
hits us as it “potentially” approaches very close to Earth on March 16, 2880.
One thing is for sure none of us reading this now will know much about it as we’ll have
been pushing up the daisies for a very long time by then. But our great, great, great,
great, great-grandchildren might find the 6th March ends up being a pretty bad day!
2/9
3. Disease prevention set back to the dark ages when antibiotics stop working
altogether.
This is already starting to happen, here’s some evidence! And we’ve become so
dependant on antibiotics that are going to be well and truly screwed if medical
researchers don’t find an alternative almost immediately.
How bad would it be? well, imagine you get pneumonia and the doctors crowd around
your hospital bed shaking their heads saying if antibiotics still worked you could walk out
this afternoon, but we’re sorry there’s nothing we can do for you.
This is one of the predictions for our future we must avoid at all costs.
3/9
4. Airplanes will be one big window.
No need to fight over the window seat in the future, the whole thing will be a window.
Imagine the panoramic view of the ground, and the sky you’ll have as your hostess
brings around the drinks trolley. If you’re a frequent flyer then the views will add another
way to entertain yourself as a game of i-spy at 500 mph is much more challenging. But if
you’re terrified of flying you’d be better off taking a boat.
4/9
5. A real Jurassic park to take the kids to during the summer holidays
The idea of cloning dinosaurs and making a dinosaur zoo isn’t new, they’ve made films
about it! And sure they’re just films but cloning technology is now becoming so advanced
we might be able to clone a real-life (or back to life) Woolly Mammoth.
“Now the technical problems have been overcome, all we need is a good sample of soft
tissue from a frozen mammoth,” Akira Iritani, a professor at Kyoto University
Now if you’ve watched the films you know what happens when the T-Rex gets lose, so
the question is, yes we can, but should we?
Wearable technology – Access the internet via contact lenses
You’ve probably heard of Google glass, it’s that “old fashioned” idea that lets you get
online via a pair of glasses. Now those next-gen tech guys at Samsung are trying to
create contact lenses that will do the same. The engineers at Samsung have taken a
standard off the shelf pair of contact lenses and “mounted a light-emitting diode on an
off-the-shelf soft contact lens, using a material the researchers developed: a transparent,
highly conductive, and stretchy mix of graphene and silver nanowires.”
This is not sci-fi, these lenses are real and in development right now. So, when someone
asks you “have you’ve got something in your eye?”, you answer yes, then give them all
the details about that phrase, who said first and when, in the blink of an eye, from
Wikipedia.
5/9
6. We’re going to live forever
Perhaps not physically but Ray Kurzweil, a Google engineering director, and futurist say
that where we can’t preserve the body we could preserve someone’s memories and even
create avatars of loved ones using virtual reality that are so realistic you’ll be able to
interact as if they were really there. This is one of the predictions for our future, I’m sure
you’ll agree, is one we’d love to see become real.
6/9
7. Cancer detecting pills
This is another announcement made back in 2014 by those evil geniuses at Google’s X
Lab. They are working on a pill that will send tiny particles into your blood that will be
able to identify cancers and heart attacks long before they become a problem.
Not quite of the scale as the nanobots mentioned earlier, and we’d prefer a cure for
cancer rather than early detection that you’ve got it. Having said that, something can
diagnose these mortal diseases early will save lives. Yep, this is another good one.
The really small big brother – smart dust that spies on your every move
These tiny dust size particles that are just too small for us to see, will have tiny sensors
on them capable of recording every move you make and everything that happens in the
world. The idea of “smart dust” came about in the 1990s. And Kris Pister a Berkeley
computing professor told CNN in 2010 “It’s finally here”
Now if the idea of the powers that be knowing everything you do scarest the bejesus out
of you, well we don’t think they are actually real? maybe they are? we don’t know for
sure! And it’s been a while since they announced them (almost 20 years) so they could be
real. But governments wouldn’t want to know everything we do, would they? Nah surely not!
If there was one reason for us men to vacuum more often then this is it – just to be sure!
Terrorists creating their own pandemics
7/9
8. This one is truly terrifying. Imagine if terrorists had the ability to create their own
diseases! In 2016 The Global Priorities Project came up with a list of potential future
disasters that could wipe out 10% or more of us. And coming pretty close to the top was
the threat that terrorists might be able to develop their own disease pandemic. If you’ve
seen the film outbreak, fiction it may be, but you’ll have an idea of what a military
pandemic could bring to our shores.
This is really scary as the report is now almost 4 years old and God only knows what they
are capable of now, and what the brave boys in our security services have already
prevented? We’ll never know, but if it’s true and they are going to be able to make these dirty
bombs we need to be kicking their arses now – NO Mercy!
Google on Mars
I think by now we all know that men will be on Mars in the not to distant future anyway,
especially if Ellon Musk and the chaps at SpaceX have any say in the matter. But imagine
living on the red planet without being to take a selfie and posting it on Instagram for all
your Earthling followers to see? Disaster!
Well, breathe easy interplanetary internet access Interplanetary internet has been on the
cards since 1998. Maybe they’ll call it light-speed broadband? And I wonder how much
the monthly fee for it would be, hmmm.
8/9
9. Exit Earth – In the next 100 years
I think this is a foregone conclusion with all the damage and climate change we’re doing
to our planet. According to the late Stephen Hawking he believed we’ll need to leave our
Earth and populate the stars in the next 100 years. If we don’t do everything we can to
protect our planet for future generations now then our beautiful blue ball will die, and
the only way we’ll be able to visit will be from somewhere else as the aliens.
Amazing, startling and in some cases scary, these 12 predictions for our future are just
over the horizon – maybe, possibly, probably?
