Flipped Lecture 2: 2057 City of the Future

“The Real Revolution in 50 years could be INVISIBLE

Prof. Michio Kaku (Physicist .City University of New York)

However, this documentary open doors to all the wonderful opportunities that might occur in 50 years.

To think 50 years ago, technologies such as the internet and computers were just surfacing. Now, the internet is in every household. Shopping is done online. Lectures are held online. The world basically revolves around the internet.

Internet growth is faster than bean sprout. Literally overnight.

2057 City of the future is a great documentary discussing aspects of ‘The Body’, ‘The City’ and ‘The World’. How each would be different. How we would overcome current challenges but face new unexpected ones. How the way we engage with each other would dramatically change.

The evolution of technology have given way to the ideas of flying cars, holographic pets, virtual viruses, humanoid robots, etc.

It is also expected to change the balance of life, having a larger number of people over the age of 80.

Now, what will that mean?

But.

At the end of the day.

These are all mere speculations.

We may never be certain of what is to come, but only to hope that the best is yet to come.
