The Future of Technology: Simplified
Vehicles that can operate themselves without human intervention sounds like a hoax of the 21 century, but according to the world’s leading scientists it can become a reality sooner than we think.
In a detailed work about what the physical and technological environment will look like by the end of this century, popular physicist, Michio Kaku touches on the notion of driverless cars. According to his research, fully-automated vehicles are being developed and tested as we speak. In fact, the Pentagon is working on converting a third of their ground forces to robotic vehicles by 2015. Don’t you love how cutting-edge technology originates in the U.S. military? If you didn’t know, the Internet is a living example!
Driverless cars are one of the many foreseeable technologies of the future, as explored by Michio Kaku and his interviews with the world’s top scientific and innovative brains. In The Physics of the Future: How Science Will Shape Human Destiny and Our Daily Lives by the Year 2100, Kaku devises a blueprint of our world leading up to the end of the 21st century. The list of plausible technologies is far too extensive to name outright, but just imagine for a second access to the internet through your glasses, microchips on your clothes and in your body to monitor health problems, and a gigantic space elevator that leads us and our cargo to outer orbit.
Whether you’re a futurist or not, this book is a recommended resource for anybody interested in the technologies of our future but not the overly complex baggage that goes with it.
