What if I told you that in a little over
seven decades our world would be
transformed by groundbreaking
Technologies more radical than your
wildest dreams imagine a future where
science fiction becomes a reality where
extraordinary advancements redefine the
boundaries of what’s possible in this
video we look at the 10 technologies
that will rule the world in 2100 from
artificial humans Nanobots that
transport you to another reality and
mind uploading Tech to telepathic
communication geoengineering and more
prepare for the wildest Technologies of
the future and what do all these mean
for us watch to the end to find out

latest Cutting Edge technology number
one artificial life forms as if the
current state of artificial intelligence
is not scary by 2100 scientists will be
designing and building brand new
organisms from scratch and we’re talking
about everything from Tiny synthetic
bacteria to humans that resemble the
replicants in Blade Runner they’re
calling this field artificial life or a
life for short and it’s all about using
computers and other synthetic tools to
recreate biological processes believe it
or not the quest to create synthetic
life’s already underway a while back
researchers from synthetic genomics and
the J Craig Venter Institute
accomplished something remarkable they
created an artificial bacterial genome
that’s even smaller than anything found
in nature with a mere 473 genes this
breakthrough is opening up new
possibilities for biologists to delve
into the fundamental functions of life
and understanding the essential genes
within cells by using these building
block cells scientists could potentially
construct organisms with abilities that
don’t exist in nature imagine bacteria
that can devour plastic and toxic waste
or microorganisms that can act as
medicine inside our bodies yes it’s that
mind-boggling and that’s not all another
fascinating project led by George Church
from Harvard Medical School aims to
create a synthetic human genome from
scratch the researchers behind it aren’t
stopping until they figure out how to
power cells using synthetic human DNA
number two molecular assemblers imagine
craving some tender juicy delicious ribs
but you know you don’t have some in the
house your options are to either dash
out to the store or order in right in
the future however there could be a
third interesting option you could make
it yourself using a simple machine from
seemingly nothing yes this is something
that’s actually been proposed and maybe
in the works as we speak thanks to
something known as a molecular assembler
as described by K Eric Drexler a
molecular engineer who studies the
potential of molecular nanotechnology a
molecular assemblers a proposed device
that can guide chemical reactions by
positioning reactive molecules with
atomic Precision to put it simply a
molecular assembler will be able to
receive instructions from you the user
and then bring together specific
molecules that will react and mesh
together to form whatever you want
whether it’s a hot cup of tea as seen in
Star Trek or a tasty plate of food
basically it’s like a 3D printer but a
hundred times more advanced so whatever
cool thing you think a 3D printer can do
a molecular assembler can do better and
bigger according to Drexler the champion
of this idea biological assemblers which
replicate bacteria trees and even people
already exist just not as advanced while
this technology is almost too magical to
believe if successful could help
Humanity build things that are presently
considered too hard or impossible to
make and of course anything your heart
desires including those juicy ribs
number three frame linked virtual
reality so you might know about wearable
VR devices like Oculus Rift and more
recently the hyped Apple Vision Pro
right while as much as they’re cool and
all no matter how advanced they get they
still can’t fully replicate the feeling
of being in a different reality but you
know what by 2100 we could be telling a
different story imagine this instead of
relying on external gadgets you can
connect virtual reality experiences to
your brains directly yup you heard it
right and exactly how will that work
well by simply tapping into the power of
our brains see our brains are amazing
machines processing all the sensory
information we encounter daily from the
aroma of your favorite tacos to the
vibrant glow of your computer screen
it’s all routed to your brain now
futurist Ray Kurzweil the author of The
singularities near has some intriguing
thoughts on how this brain linked VR
could become a reality He suggests that
Nanobots could be the key as these tiny
Bots will be inserted inside our bodies
and brains keeping us healthy and
enabling a fully immersive VR experience
from within our nervous system that
could even facilitate direct brain to
brain communication over the internet
and enhance human intelligence now
before you dispel this is fantasy hear
this we’re already making significant
advancements in breaching the
blood-brain barrier and developing
microscopic machines that can travel
through our bodies moreover we’re
actively mapping the intricate details
of the brain including the areas
responsible for processing sensory
information that said let’s say answer
the important question here how would
this brain linked VR work well just
picture this once the Nanobots are
implemented in your brain they’ll locate
your brain’s various sensory inputs and
temporarily shut them down this means
the electrical signals collected by a
retina ear and other sensory organs
would be disrupted you’d be completely
unaware of your actual surroundings it’s
like being in a sensory deprivation
chamber but here’s the mind-blowing part
the Nanobots fueled by Wireless
transmission would then provide
artificial signals to the brain’s
cortical regions essentially replacing
the missing sensory inputs and voila
you’d find yourself in a new world
experiencing it as if you’d been
transported to another reality number
four telepathy the idea of communicating
with people without speaking in other
words mind to mind is both exciting and
scary yes you probably would enjoy
communicating without talking but on the
other side of the sphere our minds are
our private sanctuaries and thoughts can
be brutally honest but whatever side of
the opinion poll you’re on Direct mind
to mind communication Tech technology
seems closer to reality than ever before
it might actually be realized by 2100 in
fact in 2014 some researchers were able
to show Brain to brain interaction
between two people hundreds of miles
apart on top of this another group of
researchers tried transmitting brain
signals via the Internet to control
another person’s hand gestures and it
worked a breakthrough in this technology
if realized will bring humans closer
together and eventually there will be
nothing like an individual mind instead
we’ll have a collective Consciousness
number five utility fog picture this a
swarm of tiny Nanobots that can
transform into any object and change
their shape on the go well that there’s
a utility fog and the tiny Nanobots are
what we call foglets so J stores Hall
devised this idea one fine day while
thinking about futuristic seat belts
instead of regular straps and airbags he
envisioned an intelligent cloud of
interconnected fog lights like beautiful
snowflakes that could adapt to the
movements of anything they encounter
including the passengers inside cars
each fogla is a mere 10 microns across
about the size of a human cell they have
a tiny onboard computer to control their
actions but an artificially intelligent
system externally controls them on top
of that they boast a dozen telescopic
arms that can extend outward forming a
dodecahedron shape when two foglets
connect they create a circuit enabling
power distribution and communication
within the network rather than floating
these foglets arrange themselves into a
lattice structure called an octet truss
when they link hands in all 12
directions sure that sounds like much at
the moment but once you wrap your head
around how they work it becomes easier
to understand see a utility fog some
sort of programmable matter in action it
can move around envelop objects or even
people and transport them the best part
utility fogs could be used to construct
an entire virtual world around you
number six climate engineering the
oceans are warmer and more acidic than
they’ve ever been while some countries
are experiencing heavier and more
frequent rainfall others are getting
drier and hotter the sea levels rising
at an alarming rate as for CO2 levels
they’re the highest in 650 000 years
what are we saying climate change is
happening and fast if we don’t stop it
Humanity’s likely doomed but there could
be a solution in the offing climate
Engineering also known as geoengineering
this Niche refers to a set of emerging
technologies that could help manipulate
the environment and offset some of the
severe impacts of climate change one
proposed geoengineering idea is cirrus
cloud seeding in the simplest terms this
would involve changing the formation of
cirrus clouds the light feathery hair
like clouds you see in the sky so that
long wave radiation from the earth
escapes to space slowing down global
warming other geoengineering hacks we
could see soon include putting up a
giant reflector in space spreading
sulfuric acid droplets in the
stratosphere using Jets and fertilize
using the ocean with special carbon
sucking blooms among others so why is G
us geoengineering scary if scientists
get it wrong things can go south
frightenly fast and we could wreck our
planet irreversibly number seven
space-based solar power as we grapple
with the challenges of climate change
and strive to shift to more sustainable
energy sources it sometimes feels like
our energy demands are just too much to
handle but you know what space-based
solar power might just be the game
changer we need and believe it or not
the concept of space-based solar power
has been around for almost six decades
see back in the 1960s Peter Glazer
imagined a world where satellites in
space could capture solar energy and
beam it down to earth using microwaves
since then various ideas and plans have
emerged but Japan’s been leading the
charge with its sbsp system
so how does it work well the Japanese
plan involves a constellation of
satellites orbiting around 22 400 miles
above the equator that will use laser
beams to transmit the captured solar
energy back to Earth each satellite
would Target a receiving station on the
ground which would be about 1.8 miles
wide and get this it would generate a
whopping gigawatt of electricity enough
to power around half a million homes of
course safety is a top priority that’s
why the receiving stations would be far
away from densely populated areas think
deserts are isolated Islands a spot
where human habitation is minimal number
eight mind uploading imagine a future
where people can choose to exist purely
in a digital realm free from the
constraints of biology it’s called Mind
uploading and it’s all about making an
exact copy of a biological brain and
painstaking detail we’re talking
molecular level Precision capturing
everything from memories to personality
quirks now futurists are still figuring
out the nitty-gritty of how mind
uploading will actually work but we have
an idea for one they could try
destructive copying where a brain is
sliced up to record its state and
memories alternatively a powerful brain
scanner could capture a snapshot of the
brain which would then be translated
into a functioning mind within a
computer but to function normally the
uploaded person would need a virtual
body and environment number nine weather
control granted controlling the weather
completely by the end of the century may
be a bit of a stretch but we’re
certainly making strides in that
direction we’re already tinkering with
clouds to stimulate rainfall and
California has been at it for almost
half a century that’s right and even
during the 2008 Summer Olympics in
Beijing Chinese authorities fired
Rockets into the clouds to bring rain
before it hit the city looking ahead
Weather Engineers have some fascinating
ideas up their sleeves picture this
massive wall-like structures that could
prevent destructive tornadoes from
forming or a series of offshore turbines
strong enough to harness the energy of
hurricanes and weaken their impact you
get the idea in fact a study in 2014
showed that a wind farm with thousands
of turbines could significantly reduce
Peak winds and Storm surges effectively
lowering A hurricane’s power but here’s
where it gets really intriguing we might
actually eventually create a weather
machine capable of programming the
atmosphere itself and one concept
involves a global cloud of transparent
balloons floating in the stratosphere
these balloons would have mirrors GPS
for monitoring actuators for orientation
control and small computers inside them
lifted by hydrogen they would hover
about 20 miles above the Earth’s surface
as the mirror is facing away from the
earth reflex sunlight back into space
and just to add they’ll be guided by
artificial intelligence pretty much like
some sort of programmable greenhouse gas
system to influence weather patterns
worldwide and transform marginal areas
into habitable regions number 10 fusion
power recently a group of physicists in
Germany received a remarkable feat in
the pursuit of nuclear fusion a powerful
promising form of energy basically they
used a powerful microwave pulse to heat
low density hydrogen plasma to an
astonishing 80 million degrees now
before I get too excited the experiment
didn’t produce any usable energy and it
lasted a mere quarter of a second but it
was a crucial step forward in our quest
to harness the immense potential of
nuclear fusion unlike nuclear fission
where atoms are split into smaller parts
nuclear fusion involves emerging two
lighter nuclei to create a single
heavier nucleus this resulted in an
enormous amount of energy if harnessed
fusion power could produce clean and
abundant energy for everyone a lot more
than what we currently generate from
nuclear reactors and fossil fuels but
there’s a catch scientists are yet to
find a foolproof solution to controlling
the extreme conditions generated by a
fusion which are comparable to the sun’s
surface you see Fusion plasmas are
incredibly unruly and difficult to
confine the sun holds its plasma thanks
to its immense gravitational pull but
doing the same without that much gravity
is a whole other Story the slightest
mistake and its boom all in all it’s
fascinating to think about how these
technologies will reshape our world in
less than 100 years the thing is is it’s
hard to predict precisely how they’ll
become a reality or which we’ll precede
the other we might see brain linked VR
mind uploading and AI merging to create
a computer-based civilization with real
people emulated brains and artificial
intelligence and when it comes to
climate engineering who knows how
weather control systems and engineered
nanoparticles might join forces the
truth is the more we try to predict the
future the more uncertain it becomes
it’s a reminder that the possibilities
are endless and we can’t always foresee
what lies ahead so which of these
Technologies do you see coming into
fruition in our generation drop a
