“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.”
― Eleanor Roosevelt


   As we continue with the search for an understanding of our futures, I love to believe that are future is more beautiful than we can ever imagine. I see more happiness and peace among the people. I don't want to worry about future, I love living in our present times, our present have already astonished me with its people and technology. Visualizing about a advanced future gives me a motivation to learn more at the present and be prepared for the great change. 

I hope you have already read the fist part of this blog. 20 Predictions For The Future - Part 1
We are at an age where everything changes at a speed where humans can't keep up. Technology or the system which we live by changes in a incredible speed.   Looking back 10 - 15 years ago, I was still at school where we didn't know much about what internet or how computer worked. Cell phones were still a big luxury. With out further due, let us continue with our topic.


11. Renewable energy

By next 30 to 50 years, the world would have changed to fully renewable energy resources. There you go "Climate Change" activist. Your war is over! the world is safer and less polluted. Thanks to you the world have changed. Climate change has become a major concern for the people now. Now I see people driving battery powered cars and scooter everyday, this makes me smile. We are on our way to a happy future. 

12. No or Minimal Pollution

My brother visited me a few months ago, we went for a walk and he said " I am getting very angry, it is so loud here." That's when I though about the change people experience coming from a small town to a big city. He hated the traffic here, he hated the loud horns and the garbage pilled up  on the side of the streets.  Since I have been living here for a few years now, I learned to ignore all this chaos around me. A sense of powerlessness that we can't change anything. 

Another story I remember in my school days was when the chief guest of the programs told us that, By 2050 people will be carrying oxygen cylinders with them to move around the city. That was a scary story. Let us join together and change that future.  

The wait and suffering is over, in the future we will have silent cars, less air pollution and better waste management. It is time that India recognize the Singapore model, this is a great story of Singapore showing the world how we can change. In the future, with the help our advanced technology we will be able to get closer to zero waste country. The following is the video how Singapore manage their waste. 
Not just Singapore, there are many countries who are well ahead of the game and there are lot of such examples on how to manage waste and bring in a change. Humans live in a safe environment free from air, water and noise pollution. 




13. Movie, Music, Arts, Games and Sports

People at Theater

As time pass on we will witness a revolutionary change in the entertainment industry. Entertainment will be more important to humans at that time. Everyone will be looking for something new to experience. This demand will make entertainer to get help of technologies of that time to meet the expectations. 

There is already a Formula E championship, coming up to the main stream, picking up speed, as there will be a transformation of all cars to electric this is a new platform for manufacturers to test their electric car innovations.

Music may be created by artificial intelligence too. The machine will be able to learn how music work and they would be programmed to compose a new rhythm. Even draw a picture out of nowhere, paint on a canvas. Only time will reveal what the future hold.

14. Infrastructure

Architecture, Skyscraper, Urban, City, Construction

New infrastructure will be designed, tested and build by A.I. These building will be build with the highest degree of safety and beauty.  I do not mean architects and civil engineers will not have a job, I mean that the majority of their jobs will be done by the system helping them make better decisions, visualize new designs.  

15. Space Exploration

I sometimes feel that we are already in the future. There is already a space race going on with Space X and Blue Origin, Virgin Atlantic aerospace companies, the have come up with the advance innovation in aerospace industry.  With aim like taking people to space  and Mars. 

Watching videos like these makes me feel, that I am already in the future. What more do I want. 



16. War
Delta Wings, Aircraft, Stealth Bomber\

This is a sad topic for me. In the future we will have people who are not willing to listen, think or talk to each other, they will be just busy to prove other wrong. So a war is coming in the future, there will be wars and riots, but this time it will be robots or drones. More specialized defense system to destroy the enemy.  There may not be soldiers deployed on the enemy soil, but there will be these advance machines that will be doing the job. 

17. Banks and Financial Services 

Buildings With Glass Windows

People will always have need and wants. And there will be people looking to lend their own money. Most transactions will be digital , if cryptocurrency comes into existence and if they are not regulated by the Government, then banks will face an issue of existence. Else they will still be running day and night, meeting every peoples needs. 


18. Love

This topic was already covered in the first part in family. Here I want to think about how people find find love. Talking about family and love, I see lot of probabilities how this could go.
 1. We get indulged in our own online world, with new interests and nobody finds family or love anymore. (Something like the Japan's problem currently).

2. We will carry on the same way without much changes, people still sticking to traditions and online dating.

3. People falls in love with robots, robots with humans skins and feeling programmed into the system (Just kidding).  

19. News Media And Truth

                This is something I wish to be regulated the most. We are in 21st century and we deserve to know the truth, the right news, without any biased or twisted words. 
Nowadays I would say to people don't watch  or read too many news, its going to give you brain damage. I understand news is a business organisation and they must make profit to survive but as humans in this modern world the people have a right to know the truth and correct news. No more fake and twisted news. 

By the arrival of more A.I into the industry, people will be able to find out the correctness of a news more easily. A.I will be an important player in regulating profit hungry organisations from gaining illegally.   

20. Justice and Law

Justice, Statue, Lady Justice, Greek Mythology
        
            Pity for the guilty is treason to the innocent.                                                  - Terry Goodkind

A transparent equal justice for everyone is needed today. Going through few supreme court rulings in the past few years we see that it takes a very long time in India scenario to get justice. This is one of the reason most people do not wish to go to the court or police station for justice. Hence they get abused. This must stop, technology must be brought to this situations and bring justice faster to the needed. 

Law enforcement currently use advanced technologies to fight and prevent crime. With their feedback and updates on technologies they will be able to prevent almost all crimes from its core. 

I see a world where we have crime rate closer to zero. People getting their justice without delay. The future is happy and peaceful 

Final Thoughts

I understand that I have not included negative effects of technology. I just want to dream of an inspiring future to look forward to. This give me the hope to live each day seeing the beauty of our current time. 
Once I submit this for a review will my friends, if needed I would right about the negative effects too. 

For now lets have a happy ending for this part of our future.
