1. Introduction and view of history world innovations
Innovations, changes, transformation, upgrade were and are the most significant key moving elements in every segment of every existing society. The world today is still existing because of the improving of the old ways of living and thanks to the modernizing of technology. Every invention has been influencing the way of living in certain age it has been shown, that is a essential pillar which was making the world more modern and better organized. People in the past laughed and ridiculed attempts that were revolutionary; Giordano Bruno was burned alive because of his cosmological theory, European skepticism was all over brothers Wright in 1906 about their so called “flying”, the same approach got the Italian inventor Guglielmo Marconi about his practical system of “wireless telegraphy” and many other inventors got the same reaction from the society towards brand new ideas. Explaining to someone back in the 60’s or even in the 70’s ,that just setting in the park on the grass very simple you can send a letter to someone via computer and received an answer back, it will be considered weird and that man will be looked as non logical thinker, but actually that is the today wireless . Just the comparison of the world record on 100m man running , Carl Lewis in 1984 was running 9.99 seconds, today Husain Bolt holds the world record with 9.58 this really says enough about the improvement of manhood !

Not so far ago in the 1990’s we were witnessing the era of the internet boom, than the social networks fast development becoming every day necessity, technology was taking a huge step forward, expanding in different areas. This was just a beginning of the new era that is about to approach in the next decade {2010-2020} and is coming on the surface, with a triple speed of innovations in technology will, definitely change the previous course of the world into a more real futuristic world, in which people were convinced before that is not possible to happened and was considered as science-fiction. It’s a fact that the impossible is not so impossible as it appears on first sight.
“In questions of science the authority of a thousand is not worth
the humble reasoning of a single individual. I do not feel obligedto believe that the same God who has endowed us with sense, reason, and intellect has intended us to forgo their use”. (Galileo Galilei) http://thinkexist.com/quotes/galileo_galilei/
The Humanity has survived through ages with adapting and improving the conditions of living, every decade had has shown something new to the world. The world need for new ideas and inventors will form a brand new generation of consumers, and future generations that will upgrade the same products. Present day life of people is moving extremely fast, the expectations are, Humanity to be involved in even a faster life circle passing year after year. The news are in front of us in just one single click from the lap-top, all the possible answers as well, the search engines are the base of today’s knowledge, books are one step away to be forgotten, microchips with a huge data are coming on the scene .The Art of handwriting is on the edge to vanish as well, the key boards have the main role now, in near future even the keyboards will be replaced with voice command programs. “Soon, we won’t need keyboards to write, either. We are going to be speaking to a computer, which then transforms our speech to text ,says Futurologist Johan Peter Paludan from the Copenhagen Institute for Futures Studies” http://www.dr.dk/Nyheder/Andre_sprog/English/2010/03/15/130727.htm
Since the mid 1920 when the first TV appeared till now days, we are about to witness 3-Dimensional TV first, it was already shown in Great Britain, the football match between Manchester Utd. vs. Arsenal in 9 pubs and soon at every home world wide. Obviously, the social life will take another dimension, even now days people have more “virtual friends” on “Facebook” which they never met in person, than the number of friends knowing in the real life. Relations between country’s is expected to be on a more higher level, we are exploiting a lot of the earth resources ,if a lack of clean water or food can happen or climate changes, change the earth ordinary life, the possibility is huge that Humanity will very soon realize that national identity , in search for survival will start to fade away and we like citizens will not say anymore ; I am from this country , or from that country but , will be all be considered a citizens of this planet simply called – Humans. ”New technology and changed social and economic conditions mean that our old working patterns are breaking down. The idea of a job for life, once an idea globally prized, is now no more” (Linda Gratton, Dean of the London Business School) http://www.bbc.co.uk/worldservice/sci_tech/features/essentialguide/theme_work.shtml The Globalization effect has shown rapid changes in human life. The things that look small and undeveloped today, will be big and significant in the near future. The emerging technology trends are a new platform of a great importance waiting to be explored further more.
“There must be no barriers to freedom of inquiry. There is no place for dogma in science. The scientist is free, and must be free to ask any question, to doubt any assertion, to seek for any evidence, to correct any errors”. J. Robert Oppenheimer http://www.world-mysteries.com/new_sci.shtml
2. Inventions that will change the today world of living
A lot of time passed since 1886, when Cochrane patented the dishwasher machine, very soon a device for making perfect breakfast will appear as necessity in every house hold, just as the Cochrane dishwasher made its skyrocketing in the 1950’s because of the women attitude towards housework. “Earlier this month construction of the breakfast machine project began at platform 21, Amsterdam.
under the direction of designer Yuri Suzuki and artist Masa Kimura, visitors sketched, built
and tested many inventive solutions. Last weekend the project was completed – the machine was ready and served all-day breakfasts consisting of omelet, coffee and toast with jam”.

How time flies and goes by surprise or coincidence, the era is approaching when coming home from work just clapping with our hands the lights will be on, the water in the shower will start to run, our favorite music will start playing on our voice command, all of this will make our lives more easier and organized. Even the music which is one of the biggest stimulators of human mood and behavior, the upgrading in the modern style’s that have massive population of new generation young listeners of techno ,drum ‘n base , jungle ,house and etc. is made today on lap-tops and computers without people voices singing. People will meet each other even more on the social networks, besides Twitter and Facebook now there is a new program called “Chatroullete” it’s designed by a seventeen year’s young Russian, you are on the net with you camera on and unknown people by a roulette choice are chatting with you. In the area of mind reading, now is no more a job only for the fortune tellers and psychics, computers can do it also.
“ Software that uses brain scans to determine what items people are thinking about was among the technological innovations showcased Wednesday by Intel Corp . In tests, it guessed with 90 percent accuracy which of two words a person was thinking about, said Intel Labs researcher Dean Pomerleau”. http://www.boston.com/business/technology/articles/2010/04/08/mind_reading_brain_scan_software_showcased_in_ny/.
The fact that can not passed unnoticed, is the uniting of the companies into multi-corporations and then the next step is forming Mega-corporations that will simply rule the world market .This has been already done in the car industry, the same is starting in the food supply chains, factories for boats planes and rockets science builders all in one .The same unifying is happening in the Medicine section… The today world is concentrated on saving energy, bio-fuel producing, electric cars, the first country that will put those cars in use is going to be probably Israel, flying cars are considered “holly grail” of futuristic utopian society Israel is also involved in the developing, solar energy as power engine for cars and boats as well.
3. Modern technology helping humanity in everyday life
“The history of robots dates back to 270 BC when Ctesibus, an Greek engineer of that time, invented water clocks and organs with movable figures. This can also apply to the intellegence known as HAL in 2001: A Space Odessey. While robotics have been around since 270 BC, the term robot wasn’t coined until 1921 when the Czech writer Karel Capek wrote a play called Rossum’s Universal Robots, also known as R.U.R” http://sci-fi.lovetoknow.com/wiki/History_of_Robots Robots as teachers will very soon be in the classrooms, robot Journalist capable to collect data, takes pictures, ask questions about certain events , this Robot can actually replace a hole TV crew of a camera man and a reporter, Androids exploring space instead of people, robots waiters in Bangkok already exists and there is proto-types manufactured for every example mentioned. The possibility is huge that even the Presidents of state will get best possible answers from robots in the near future, so the adviser of state will disappear as a title and there is a great possibility that, visits from presidents to a foreign country will be reduced and many meetings and decisions will be made through a video connections.
Nanotechnology, although it’s considered to belong to the far future actually, it started in the world war two before sixty years ago, the further development today is considered to be in bioscience and especially in medicine.
The future will not be a future without cloning, it can help humanity, but also there supposed to be strict laws that will prevent manipulating and taking advantage of the experiments. “The Seoul Central District Court found the 56-year-old scientist guilty at a hearing Monday. Hwang Woo-Suk has been charged with accepting funds under false pretenses, embezzling and illegally buying human eggs for his research”. http://blog.taragana.com/law/2009/10/26/disgraced-south-korean-cloning-scientist-hwang-woo-suk-convicted-in-stem-cell-research-15206/
Artificial meat from different kind of animals will definitely be possible to be produced.
Man is probing successfully deep into the mysteries of the universe .There are over 900 satellites in space and a million bits of artificial debris orbiting the Earth. The greatest achievements in space travel are showing astonishing results of improvement and broadening human knowledge, about life in space. The International space station has a team of 13 people {07.10.2010} supplies of food and equipment are distributed for further missions in order to discover new planets and are well prepared and organized by “NASA” and other countries included also. Planets with possible life are discovered-Gliese 581c, it’s a earthly like planet with water, water has been found on Phobos the moon of Mars the indications for water existing on Mars were just a gossips before the Rover Discovery has send pictures with examples now it’s a sign and a possibility to discover further on. The water on Mars is a proof life. Step by step Humanity is on the way to populate another planets, and bring new form of life to the new planets, to make colonies and built new history ,to prove what no man has proved before. Android robots can certainly help space missions in exploring new frontiers, astronauts need special suits to go out on the Mars surface because of the Solar winds and the atmosphere , those suits are questionable in endurance in a order not to lose human life’s , the Androids can make a successful mission. Missions of this kind with new discoveries, can open a new door in better relations between countries in order to reach a higher point in developing essential future projects, that can reach the conciseness of the humanity to explore and proof furthermore ,because space is infinite.
“Bionic people, facial scanners, and artificial organisms: What do these things all have in common? They’re all on “the edge” – new territory just waiting to be explored, and they might be closer than you think. Tim O’Reilly founder and CEO of O’Reilly media inc.” http://itc.conversationsnetwork.org/series/etech.html
The transformation and changes really don’t stop until the world is still moving. In today world of crisis is to Innovate or to evaporate .The new section of printed newspapers is also on a good way to be replaced with a brand new Electronic-Media. The digital Ink is coming to replace the good old fashioned style of reading news.
“To commemorate Esquire’s 75th Anniversary, they have published a cover that will go down in history, an electronic ink (or e-ink) cover that features digital moving words and flashing images. Beaming the words “The 21st Century Begins NOW “Esquire’s editor in chief, David Granger “http://technologygoddess.com/marketing/esquire-magazines-electronic-ink-digital-cover.html
4. Possible shift of the world power-China as a super power
There is huge possibility that China can emerge as Super power in this century. The transformations that are both from military and economical character are potential that China can be a possible leader country. In many section of developing China is catching up, in a decade China can be the world biggest exporter of goods.
“We assumed the title in 1890 from – guess who. Britain? France? No. The world’s largest economy until 1890 was China’s. That’s why Maddison says he expects China to resume its natural role as the world’s largest economy by 2015.” That scenario makes sense. China was the largest economy for centuries because everyone had the same type of economy – subsistence – and so the country with the most people would be economically biggest. Then the Industrial Revolution sent the West on a more prosperous path. Now the world is returning to a common economy, this time technology- and information-based, so once again population triumphs.” http://www.chinalawandbusiness.com/2008/05/china-the-dominant-superpower-by-2015/
5. Methodology of change through technology
Technology has always had an impact on the society and relations between countries. Japan invests billions on a year for developing future technologies that made them leaders in the technology trends. The race between USA and Germany for finding the “hard water” an essential element for constructing the nuclear bomb was a key element in winning WWII back in 1945 .Today the race for new technology is even bigger than it ever was considering the level of the new wave of technologies that already exists. In the 1980’s it was the personal computer it came out from the “garage” and changed the world, in the 1990 it was the Internet making the same effect, the next Technological wonder that will enter out lives will definitely be the Robot. In close matter of time the use of humanoid Robots in every day life is making its promotion in the next decade of living. The robots as known will be people best friends just like the dogs are from century’s back. It will help people in the daily house activities, the big companies will use robots as a guide for instructions just like in the Madrid in the Banking center that has 5500 employees robots are giving orientation directions and also will be used for developing future projects for the firms. It has to be mentioned that answers for many questions will definitely be answered by robots just like today on the internet people find the answers on the “Wikipedia” and the other search engines. The necessity of future life will be the new coming generation of robots. Many of the big companies will collide in one even bigger multi-national company that will be responsible for manufacturing robots which will effect the way of life by taking another dimension of living. The consciousness of the people will have to evolve on a higher level than it is today in a order to have control over the robots and will make progress in the social developments. People will join together with others to work on a certain issue in a order to achieve a great results for possible change. A mix between multiculturalism and cultural heritage is the formula that will bring success in the future societies. The National identity will be no longer be considered essential there will be no borders on the planet between countries we will be all considered human with goal to explore, achieve bring new solutions to be skeptical, to analyze to be pragmatic… Relations between countries will find a mutual interest in developing projects for building new future, the common interest will overrule in the need for exploring and developing better and healthier life. The future society will no longer be a battle between Communism and Capitalism, actually the world will face a new open Democratic society that will be based on ecological improvement. The disbelief of the electronic money back in the 80’s has shown that is not an utopia when today credit cards are in use. Today we witness the reduction of money by the bankrupt of number of banks world wide. According to the changes the possibility of no money use will be considered as an option of a future society. The money can be replaced with points which every human will gain or give points for certain goods, and this system will be regulated by the existing government. Further on people will have different role than today taking care of social conditions and improving ways of living in order to make the planet a better place for raising future generations. Every country will adopt the new conditions of living trying to build a society that will accelerate a better conditions of living and by using natural resources to get electricity , and changing car engines from oil to water {see Dave Klein water engine for cars} and electricity. Humanity has to prepare the ground for the coming future where the lack of resources can affect the way of living. Even in the ancient times people had found the areas with water and sun more populated than the other existing land. In the future the source for energy will be water and sun as well. The suggestion for the plan “making to 2050” by The lord of Ludlow, Martin Rees President of the Royal Society of Astronomers a holder of the “Order of Merit” given by the GB Queen is saying that energy from the sun absorbing it with a huge sun panel located in the desert of Sahara can actually provide electricity for hole Europe, is just one of the many possibilities for creating a source of energy. The need for a development of a new technology has made huge strike ruining our existing environment. More than important is to know that, the clock for saving our living environment has been ticking faster than ever before, results of changes needs to be shown in order to save the already existing and to improve. The future societies will support projects and proposals for future living like the floating cities. The water-scrapers equipped with new technology are using the energy from the wind, waves and the sun, with modern agriculture and aquaculture using the hydroponics methods, the goal is to produce food underwater.{see Sarly Adre Bin Sarcum Malaysia}The other solution for healthier environment is the Sky-scraper farm called “Dragon-fly”. This building is 600m high and has 132 levels and 32 agricultural fields that can produce vegetables, fruits meat and milk separated by the city producing energy for the scraper, the combined system of wind meals and sun panels is making this object independent.{Vincent Callebaut Belgian architect}The main purpose of one future society will be cherishing the most valuable planet resources oil will not be essential but the sun, water, earth and the wind will be elementary energy sources needed for continuing life.
The world in the future will give a brand new shape of living where the Robots will do the mainly activities and cars will drive by them self or will have an automatic driver ready to take the passenger at the wanted destination. People on the way to work can enjoy the ride writing on their lap-top, have a conversation on the video-phone, while organizing other activities such as giving instructions to the Robot at home what to prepare for dinner and which clothes to be ready for the night going out. A revolution in Aviation is truly around the corner, in a form of an aero vehicle, that can fly easy between street level and high buildings the flying cars are on the way to take off. The flying car Urban X Hawk has no exposed rotors this means no danger of electric wires and it can land everywhere in urban environment and also helps in police chase better than the good old known helicopter.
Accordingly the world in Future will be a fusion of Biology and Technology, people will drink special designed medicaments and will use special genetic tests which will discover on time any disease and sickness in a order to start the curing process on time and prevent the disease of spreading further. The mirrors in the future will have an extra function, every time when we look our self in the mirror on the side a small screen will show information about our weight, blood pressure, which vitamins to be taken a hole picture of our health will be in front of us. This means reduced visits and appointments to our private doctor. With the help of Nanotechnology and Cloning a replacement of human organs can be produced, the artificial ones can be even better than the “original” in a meaning of endurance. The tempo of the ageing process can be slowed down and the average life of people can be approximately 20 years longer.
The future will meet and introduce many new inventions that which are not believed that can be invented or possible to exist. Technology that provides in a period of couple second people to be transported on another location in a distance of many kilometers-Teleportation. Even if it sounds unreal just like Jules Verne predicted the submarine in the book “20.000 miles under the sea” the Teleportation can also turn into a reality. Photons are already teleported, in Vienna photons are teleported across Danube river a hole 600m, atoms as well.
“Scientists at the University of Maryland’s Joint Quantum Institute successfully teleported data from one atom to another in a container a meter away”.
To use this process on a even bigger subjects, for example people is clearly more than possible, according to the scientists it is a engineering problem that will be solved by time. This can be classified in the level 1 “impossible” inventions that can be reached in couple of decades among with the fields of power and invisibility. In the level 2 “impossible” inventions can be considered time travel and parallel universe, and level 3 PERPETUUM MOBILE, the last one is considered “impossible” because is opposite of the laws of the Physics that are know today.
The necessity of exploring space can be vital for the future life on earth in ways to improve life on earth, and find another planet that can provide resources, new metals, plants and new discoveries. Till the year 2025 the inhabiting of Mars will be improving and pushing the limits of Humanity in a new era of discovering beyond the current known existing possibilities. The biggest challenge is are the Human mind and body adjustable for interplanetary mission. The day on Mars is 40 minutes longer than on the Earth, the crew will have to adjust on this. The interplanetary mission will take 4-6 months to get there and 500-600 days to stay there. The mission can be accomplished with Androids, Humanoid Robots that will explore the ground. The problem with the fuel to come back to Earth can be solved with launching rocket without crew that will be full of fuel in order the next crew mission when it gets there to have enough fuel to come back to Earth. The rocket will mix the substance with the atmosphere from Mars and produce fuel for the new comers.
“By 2025 we expect new spacecraft designed for long journeys to allow us to begin the first ever crew missions beyond the moon into deep space. There’s a lot more of space to explore and a lot more to learn when we do,” the president said, as he unveiled a plan to increase NASA’s budget by $US6 billion ($A6.42 billion) over the next five years,” Obama told an audience at the Kennedy Space Center in Florida.
“His plan includes ramping up “robotic exploration of the solar system, including a probe of the sun’s atmosphere, new scouting missions to Mars and other destinations, and an advanced telescope to follow Hubble,” he said.
