Imagine you are a construction worker and you are trying to demolish a concrete wall but it fixes itself. Lol

Love this overview. It would be great to have the same list of technologies assessed for their potential to harm or morally compromise the very society that makes them possible. Harm has been the constant companion of innovation, but it could be pre-empted, just as acquisitions, permissions, inefficiencies and glitches are solved in any good creation process.

Self-Healing Concrete is on paper a really good idea. There is just one small problem with it and comes from the fact that we are not using limestone for buildings as limestone has this one tiny problem with being rather frail. Yes it will make the concrete last a big longer, but it will also make it harder to see where the weaknesses of the structure is and only really postpone the disaster, if at all.

as somebody with a comp sci degree and a decent amount of irl experience i will say edge computing is problematic at its core because client side workload like this is a huge security breach. this is why even online video games avoid client side scripting. it is a huge vector for exploit. it is always interesting to watch a video like this because you are blown away when you listen regarding these other technologies you may not know allot about but when they cover a technology you know about you realize you must question the quality of the info in the other cases where you cannot determine the quality yourself

The fire suppression without water was incredible. It could save many lives and property especially if it could be auto activated like a heat detector. Imagine how much property and how many sleeping people could be saved, especially if this had a built in alarm and was rigged to keep hallways clear of fire. What an invention....WOW.

I had never imagined that the world of the future could appear so incredibly spectacular and full of hope. Just know that there are many people focusing on making our world a better place. Unconditional love to all who've seen this. Please count your blessings everyday because once you start you'll see how incredible you are. 🙂

"If machines produce everything we need, the outcome will depend on how things are distributed. Everyone can enjoy a life of luxurious leisure if the machine-produced wealth is shared, or most people can end up miserably poor if the machine-owners successfully lobby against wealth redistribution. So far, the trend seems to be toward the second option, with technology driving ever-increasing inequality." -- Stephen Hawking

One of your best videos yet, great stuff! Thank you 👍

[ridethecurve]

I was totally shocked that Fusion power generation wasn't included - possibly as big a leap as quantum computing in its impact on humanity.

I've been actively involved in fire & life safety for almost 10 years now. Since I was a young kid, I've had an interest in symatics (how sounds & vibrations interact with various things). I have known that sound waves interact with fire & have been avidly waiting for them to produce a more efficient "clean room" (server rooms, ect.) suppression system.

They need too make a magnet that attracts plastic then make a giant version and hover it over the sea

My uncle was a professional writer and he told me about hang-on-the-wall widescreen TV's...in 1963. There are many on-going projects, but 'breakthru's' are not normally a part of them. Serendipity and happenstance are as important as dull, planned, research. Remember that apple that conked Newton on the head (if that ever occurred), causing him to consider gravity or more importantly: the fig newton.

The production quality of this is absolutely through the roof! Amazing!! Only legends will like this amazing video🥰

[dickarmstrong]

Fantastic information. Thank you for posting this.

[toddmackiewicz]

This video left a lot of things out:
Buckypaper. Metamaterials and smart materials. Augmented reality. Cellular agriculture. Brain computer interface technology. Thorium reactors. The possibility of a Hafnium bomb. Metastable metallic hydrogen...

[xmrmeow]

Yeah it's pretty funny how little people realize that a lot of modern devices functionality requires an internet connection because some server is doing all the work and your device is just reading from it.

[functionalvanconversion]

I love seeing these types of videos, but they can never come to the market too soon:).

I've read that hydrogen can work it's way through any container material. In your piece about graphen it was stated that it is impermiable to gases -- even the lightest one. Assuming the narrator meant hydrogen, it might be a solution to the long term storage of hydrogen, perhaps.
