Learn about technologies that will usher in a new way of life: living in floating cities, flying to work and traveling in cars that can swim underwater. And with new technologies, humanity will find new ways to protect and conserve resources to offset the needs of a growing population using renewable sources of water, food and energy. The era of smog-filled skies will end, because the number of drivers will decrease. Wherever we go, we no longer need roads.
We will have environmentally friendly personal vehicles between cities and under the seas. We will never be lost, thanks to new improvements in navigation and mapping. On the other hand, being able to teleport our perception to any point on Earth, we will not need to travel at all. We will have more time to enjoy all these innovations because we will live longer. Much longer. close
