Sci-fi Sounding Predictions About The Future (Part II)

This is the part 2 of the post that I had written yesterday that you can check out here. The topic of discussion in this series is the future and all the sci-fi sounding predictions made about the future by people as well as our movies and shows.

Yesterday, I talked about how robots will one day be as common as smartphones, how nanobots will live inside of us in swarms, maintaining our bodies at optimal levels of health and how we will one day become an interplanetary civilisation.

Today, I want to talk about a few more predictions that might sound science fiction today, but can certainly be the reality of our future. Let's dive in.

Limitless Clean Energy

The world today is largely dependent on fossil fuels for its energy needs but that is changing already. Renewable resources are becoming popular by the day and soon the world could transition to those being the more prominent ones.

However, renewables are still not the limitless clean energy sources that would be needed to power the next centuries of human progress. For that we would need a 'star in a jar'. I'm talking about nuclear fusion.

Nuclear fusion is the exact same process that happens at the centre of the stars including our sun and it's the reason for all the light and heat we get from the sun. Scientists are hard at work to replicate that process here on Earth, which if achieved will result in clean and limitless energy.

Telepathic Communications

Have you ever wondered how cool it would be if we could communicate with each other just by thought over any distance whatsoever? Well, this is certainly a possibility for the future of communcations.

Slowly but surely, people will use more biotechnology to enhance themselves and give themselves the ability that are only present now in our many devices like smartphones. Take the ability to call anyone up right now.

With implants in our brains, we would be able to harness that ability at the biological level. So, in theory, we'll be able to communicate with anyone, anywhere and at any distance, just with our minds.

Extinct Species Will Be Back

Cloning and gene-editing technologies are already making it possible for us to bring back extinct species. In the last few years, there have been reports about scientists wanting to bring back the wooly mammoth as sort of a demonstration of the technology.

In the decades to come, this tech is only going to get more advance and we'll be able to bring any extinct species as per our will. Maybe we'll be able to restore the damages done to the biosphere by us humans.

A more crazy thought could be bringing back dinosaurs just like in the Jurassic Park movies. Of course that doesn't sound like a good idea but who knows some future crazy rich guy would actually do this!
