DESCRIPTION:
Artificial intelligence will be dispersed throughout the environment, and Internet-enabled contact lenses will allow us to access the world's information base or conjure up any image we desire in the blink of an eye. Meanwhile, cars will drive themselves using GPS, and if room-temperature superconductors are discovered, vehicles will effortlessly fly on a cushion of air, coasting on powerful magnetic fields and ushering in the age of magnetism. Millions of tiny DNA sensors and nanoparticles patrolling our blood cells will silently scan our bodies for the first sign of illness, while rapid advances in genetic research will enable us to slow down or maybe even reverse the aging process, allowing human life spans to increase dramatically. Imagine, if you can, the world in the year 2100. Synthesizing a vast amount of information to construct an exciting look at t
Interesting conjecture based on current facts! I had the pleasure of hearing Michio Kaku speak at a convention and figured if his books are as thought provoking as his speeches, I should grab one. He does write well but I think the title of this one is a bit misleading. It ranges far beyond physics to a variety of sciences to lay out a timeline of coming advances but most importantly it goes far beyond science to human relationships, economics and trade an. "Fascinating Read" according to Edward J. Vasicek. Interesting read by a man who credibly predicts new discoveries or devices already on the horizon and projecting where technology (and life) will lead if things continue as expected. Of course, nobody knows the future. Cataclysms, world nuclear war, etc., could change the future considerably. His book assumes that society and technology continues on its trajectory.Kaku is a recognized authority connected to ma. Physics of the Future Definitely an interesting experience. See the world through the eyes of the scientists inventing it today! Although, in a few years some of the items discussed within its pages may become obsolete, there is more that will be relevant for a hundred years. Early on you are bogged down by descriptions, but then you get to the good part. All kinds of different technologies. Its quite exciting to hear about it. I t
