This book was released on 2017-11-05 with total page 61 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The robot is upon us: The future is so near and yet so far. In this book we take a brief glimpse into the Munich of the future. Above all, technical development alone will ensure that city life will be different from today – Although we cannot yet fly to the supermarket the fundamental image of a city is radically changing. To give a brief insight into the year 2050, however, we must first travel back in time and understand developments that have so far taken place. What makes a city? We examine the central questions and give an indication of what is responsible for the development of a cityscape. We then immerse ourselves in the world of technical progress: a lot will change, particularly in the transport sector. Will we still be driving ourselves, or will be driven? Learn about the importance of artificial intelligence and imagine how robots will gradually play an increasing role in our lives. Ultimately everything will always be quite different from what we imagine anyway, but that still does not stop us dreaming.

Think of the wealth of technological resources already available to us. The computing power in that smartphone in your pocket could have guided 120 million Apollo-era spacecrafts to the moon and back. A gigabyte of memory cost $300,000 in the 1980s - today, it costs a fraction of a penny. Now, try to imagine 2050, when your computing devices will be a million times more powerful or available at one-millionth of today's prices.In this deeply researched and compelling book, the authors do the imagining for you, describing seven so-incredible-as-to-be-almost-magical capabilities that will be available by 2050 in computing, communication, information, genomics, energy, water, and transportation. You may finally get that flying car, have ample water even in a desert, and be treated for disease through microscopic robots in your bloodstream.Drawing on their decades of experience helping major organizations formulate strategies for innovation, the authors demonstrate how to use combinations of those seven capabilities to imagine "perfect" futures, whether that means reversing climate change, resolving today's disinformation crisis, or living 20 years longer. This book paints visions of how the world could - and should - look as we pass the planet on to future generations.We can use those visions to start inventing a perfect future - today.

Download or read book The Scooter A Resister s Vision of Life in 2050 written by Jean-Baptiste de Gandt and published by Independently Published. This book was released on 2019-04 with total page 134 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The Scooter: A Resister's Vision of Life in 2050 is an optimist's view of what life could be in thirty years. It dips into humankind's past and present and predicts a future that is as bright as we want it to be. It is the story of a Frenchman who, in his quest to discover what tomorrow will bring, reads only disastrous scenarios reflecting what he perceives to be a society-wide collective depression. He gives himself a challenge. During an epic journey from the North of France to Holland--traveled entirely by kick scooter--he must take observations from personal experience, layman's research, and conversations with his contacts from around the world, and use those sources to come up with a better solution than the predominant dire forecasts. This book is therefore an act of resistance. It asks us to pause and consider, "Were things really better before?" and, "Are we truly on an unstoppable downward spiral?" The author's answer is a resounding "No!" as he uses separate stages of his slow-motion road trip to illustrate his argument in eight selected areas of daily life. The book posits that freedom is the key to progress, and in our attempt to achieve it, humankind will cure past ills and lay a foundation for a fulfilling future. Lighthearted, unpretentious and with an undercurrent of truth, the visions range from tracing easily predictable progress--the next steps on the road we're already traveling--to more daring or even utopian meanderings. It is all meant to provoke the reader's reaction, because by imagining it, we are already starting to make it happen. A breath of fresh air in the midst of despair-filled news cycles, The Scooter will delight readers who want to clear their vision and focus on a future that we could all look forward to. Karima Delli: "Fresh, simple, and joyful: A positive vision of the future while traveling to Holland on kick scooter. It will make you want to live in 2050!

Book excerpt: This book presents the "New Vision 2050," which adds the concept of the "platinum society" to the "Vision 2050".The 20th century was a century in which energy led the development of material civilization, resulting in deletion of resources, global warming and climate change. What form should sustainable material and energy take to protect the Earth? The "Vision 2050" was established 20 years ago as a model that we should pursue for the next half century. Fortunately, the world is on course for the Vision 2050.The 21st century will be a century in which we seek qualitative richness, with the Vision 2050 as the material basis. That is, a "platinum society" that has resource self-sufficiency and resource symbiosis, and where people remain active throughout their lives and have a wide range of choices and opportunities for free participation. Since the author presented the concept of "Vision 2050" in 1999, the idea has been introduced in two books entitled Vision 2050: Roadmap for a Sustainable Earth (2008) and Beyond the Limits to Growth: New Ideas for Sustainability from Japan (2014). The latter includes a chapter that sheds light on the concept of a "platinum society". In this publication, the author presents the "New Vision 2050" in more detail.
