The past century was marked as an age of scientific progress, but in the last 15 years of the 21st century, the technical plan has progressively developed further, and the development of scientists that can become reality over the next decades will be discussed below.
Robots are killers designed to destroy the enemy and technology. To date, the development of robotics is quite rapid, but the first combat robots were used by the world's largest armies decades ago, for example, combat platforms.
A personal intellectual assistant today is no longer something fantastic. Current systems - assistants have reached the highest level of development, and even without intellect, after a detailed analysis of the situation, the systems give good recommendations.
The transfer of dreams - in spite of the fact that this sounds unrealistic, even in the modern world, is possible already today with the help of special equipment. The main problem for scientists now is the technical development, the level of which does not allow to reproduce the dream as realistically as possible, i.e. Also bright and colorful, as he sees himself asleep.
Implant gadgets - this development is contrary to modern morality, as miniature devices are implanted into the human body. But on the other hand, such adaptations could significantly alleviate the lives of people, especially people with various injuries.
An additional reality is a technology that already exists. With the help of another reality, according to scientists, it would be possible to solve a number of different problems that have a relationship, primarily to household and economic activities. In addition to entertainment, this technology could be successfully used in the learning process.
Digital contact lenses are still only a project, for today no team of specialists has been able to create something similar, but several companies continue to work actively in this direction and, perhaps in a couple of decades, such lenses will be widely used.
Exoskeletons allow a person in hundreds, if not thousands of times, to surpass their physical abilities - run faster than any predator, raise thousands of kilograms, etc. For today, there are several prototypes, by the way, quite successful. Of course, the developments that exist today are far from those described in fantastic books or films, but the beginning has been laid and exoskeletons are being tested in the military and space industries.
Sensory skin - will allow a person without harm to health and life to experience any tactile sensation, the idea itself is not bad, but among researchers this direction is not popular and today nothing like this has been created yet.
Medical 3D-printing today is quite real, but this technology is at the first stage of its development. Over the past few years, transplant operations have been performed using unique printing technology. Now scientists are actively working in this direction and are trying to print whole cells from living cells.
Elixir of youth is a means that are trying to find many centuries. A person does not want to die and in every way tries to delay this hour, even for a short period. But, despite incredible progress, the miracle cure for aging has not been invented yet, but the 21st century has not yet ended.
