5 Futuristic Technologies that we can expect in next 50 Years.


As we know that Man is a progressive animal, most probably the smartest of the lot. Most of us are busy in solving our day to day problems, but some of us are toiling hard to make this world a better place to live. Here comes the list of 5 Future technologies which may change the way how we live today.


1. Long lasting Batteries which can last even for 5o years
Right now it’s a massive problem in the industry that phone and laptop batteries can only last one or two days used frequently, but there’s been some progress Soon you’ll be able to throw your phone in a bowl when you get home from work and it’ll wirelessly charge it – you’ll also find flexible batteries used for wearable wrist screens But most importantly, a team of researchers at the Department of Energy Oak Ridge National Laboratory has started testing batteries that could last well over 50 years with one charge – not only a revolution for smartphones, but also pacemakers, removing the need for surgery every 10 years and instead allow it to last an entire lifetime The best part? This technology isn’t even that far off, you’ll start hearing about it in the next 10 years



2.  Drinkable ocean Water

Of course, this won’t mean our oceans will be transformed into desalted drinking water – that’d kill a huge amount of underwater species But the ability to build solar power plants that can strip the salt from ocean water using residual heat en masse, providing drinkable water for regions of the world currently experiencing droughts without running out because, well, you have the entire ocean to work with You might even see this technology come out in 20-30 years, and though it won’t solve hunger problems at least it’ll quench our thirsts till 3D printers can cook us up a roast ham using sawdust and toothpicks





3. Self-cleaning cloth
Engineers in China have already developed a coating for clothes that will eliminate stains and odour producing bacteria, and all you have to do is step into the sun In South Korea they’ve eliminated the need to use detergent, by instead getting you to dunk your clothes into a tank filled with robotic fish who clean them for you The fish robots are able to detect dirt and grime on clothes using sensors, whereupon they will suck the grime from your clothes and squirt jelly to absorb dirt, which also prevents oxidation and discolouration

4. Longer Life – Our Answer for Aging
In the last 50 years alone, the average life expectancy has gone up from 65 to 75 with dramatic rises as you look back further to the beginning of basic medicine With nanotechnology, little robots swimming through your bloodstream fixing problems before they arise, that average could easily exceed 110, 50 years from today Parents could choose their children’s traits before they’re even born, eliminate biological defects, but with longer life come social implications – if your life expectancy has doubled, what does it mean for a career, retirement, marriage – bearing children? Will people even WANT to stay in a single relationship for a hundred years anymore?

 5. Replicators like 3D-Printing Sure we already have 3D printers and we can already create a vast number of useful things, but in the next 10 years alone you’re going to start to see them create things like a Star Trek replicator Soon they’ll be as inexpensive as a HDTV, one in every home, download blueprints from the internet to create a birthday cake or a Rolex watch – even car parts providing you need them It even has uses in practical medicines – imagine the day when you can download and print organs you need to replace, or even sooner than that, build prescription medicine using a basic formula from inside your own home

  1. Its a good article for lovers of new technological advances in field of science, My favourite was point 4. I too think on the same lines of impact of this breakthrough on our lives , thinking, our relationships etc. Nicely Put!
