00:05
today
00:06
we're bringing you 10 emerging
00:07
technologies that will change the world
00:09
better stick around for number one to
00:11
find out how elon musk may have planned
00:13
to turn us all into human robots someday
00:16
what's up tech joints and welcome to
00:18
another episode of techjoint
00:20
it really feels like we're already
00:21
living in the future every day
00:23
from 5g connectivity to self-driving
00:25
cars being more accessible
00:27
innovation is everywhere we look it can
00:30
sometimes be hard to imagine a world
00:31
with even more innovation
00:33
a future world what would it look like
00:35
what everyday problems would be solved
00:38
it's a pretty good bet some technologies
00:40
like artificial intelligence will be in
00:41
our lives
00:42
playing important roles in the future of
00:44
humankind other technologies may seem
00:46
far-fetched
00:47
unnecessary and frankly unattainable so
00:50
buckle up and let's take a look at these
00:51
10 futuristic technologies that are
00:53
going to change the world as we know it
00:56
before we begin make sure you hit that
00:58
subscribe button and turn on those
00:59
notifications so you never miss out on
01:01
the best of the best gadgets in tech
01:04
number 10 voice assistance the little
01:07
voice in our devices that helped us set
01:08
an alarm or make a list of reminders has
01:10
already been a part of our lives for
01:12
some time now
01:13
these tiny men and women in our tech
01:15
have become a dependable way of getting
01:16
things done
01:18
but what if we told you it's only going
01:19
to get better think about it
01:22
in a few short years the majority of
01:24
american households are expected to have
01:26
at least one form of voice assistance
01:27
like amazon alexa or apple homepod in
01:30
their home
01:30
with big popular tech companies
01:32
glamorizing the technology
01:34
it's only going to permeate into our
01:35
everyday lives even more
01:38
reports are suggesting that in the near
01:40
future voice assistants can grow smarter
01:42
and smarter
01:43
eliminating the need for things like
01:45
laptops and keyboards
01:47
instead you'll simply speak to a device
01:50
and let's say
01:50
an entire paper is written from your
01:52
voice
01:53
talk about public speaking practice
01:57
number nine gene splicing the cure for
02:00
debilitating and life-threatening
02:02
diseases such as cancer
02:03
is one that is talked about very often
02:06
now imagine a world where curing those
02:07
diseases can be cured with a simple
02:09
one-time treatment
02:11
crispr cas9 aka clustered regularly
02:14
interspaced short palindromic repeats
02:17
is a sort of gene splicing technology
02:19
that works to locate and remove
02:20
or cut off mutated sections of our dna
02:24
this technology has the possibilities of
02:26
permanently eliminating types of genetic
02:28
diseases from bloodlines
02:29
allowing people with these defective
02:31
genes to bear their own children without
02:33
fear of passing along their own genetic
02:34
disease
02:36
number eight mixed reality we've already
02:40
experienced augmented reality in the
02:41
form of gaming
02:43
this technology allows you to be
02:44
transported to any setting you want
02:46
temporarily changing your visual reality
02:49
making your experiences all the more
02:50
lifelike
02:52
this technology is growing more and more
02:54
popular with tech giants like apple
02:56
pouring millions of dollars into
02:57
augmented and mixed
02:58
reality hardware as far as the future
03:02
all rumors point to a world where visual
03:04
and other sensual realities are made a
03:06
part of your everyday life
03:08
anywhere from walls that turn into
03:09
screens like those shown in the old
03:11
disney movie smart house
03:12
whether that freaks you out or not it's
03:14
a very true possibility that it's making
03:16
its way into our lives soon
03:20
number seven regenerative medicine
03:23
even though it sounds like some
03:24
outlandish possibility typically seen in
03:26
vampire shows
03:27
regeneration is very much a true
03:29
possibility that's making its way to
03:31
western medicine at some point
03:34
doctors are already making custom body
03:36
parts we know that
03:37
and the way they do this magical
03:39
procedure is they scrape cells off a
03:40
body part and grow them into more cells
03:42
in a petri dish
03:44
eventually the body part grows tough
03:46
enough to be implanted inside of
03:48
patients
03:49
whether this sounds like a medical dream
03:51
or like some sort of cyborg
03:52
hulk type human it'll soon be a way of
03:55
life at some point
03:56
one doctor has even successfully managed
03:58
to grow a fresh human ear for
04:00
transplantation on a mouse's back
04:04
number six fully autonomous vehicles
04:08
driving is a way of life that'll
04:10
definitely will not be going anywhere
04:12
anytime soon
04:14
we all need to get from point a to point
04:16
b
04:17
car brands like tesla gm and volvo have
04:20
all popularized the idea of cars driving
04:22
themselves
04:24
but as of now it's pretty limited to
04:26
highways and every 10 second heads-up
04:29
attention from a real-life driver
04:31
that will all soon change as general
04:33
motors announced they plan on releasing
04:35
a car that is no steering wheel or
04:36
pedals
04:37
soon this all brings us back to the idea
04:40
of chauffeuring
04:42
we all need a taxi or uber from time to
04:44
time but soon
04:45
those will be driverless and will feel
04:47
more like you're on a train than a car
04:49
through the streets
04:52
number 5 digital wallets
04:55
you've heard of cryptocurrencies the
04:57
digital form of money that has been
04:58
increasingly popularized with the
05:00
dramatic explosion of bitcoin
05:02
which is worth tens of thousands of
05:04
dollars for just one coin
05:06
but what you haven't heard is that soon
05:08
enough they can not only
05:10
become a bigger part of our lives but
05:12
actually be the only form of payment
05:14
available to us
05:16
maybe countries are hopping on the
05:18
bandwagon of something called digital
05:19
wallets
05:20
where their citizens live in a cashless
05:22
society
05:24
whether we like it or not it's only a
05:26
matter of time where that is our only
05:27
form of payment
05:28
everywhere number four
05:32
artificial intelligence
05:33
[Music]
05:35
this one that is both exciting and
05:37
terrifying
05:38
and a popular topic for many movies
05:40
where artificial intelligence grows even
05:42
smarter than humans
05:44
and eventually takes over the world
05:47
but there are some useful hopes for
05:49
artificial intelligence
05:51
anywhere from automated takeout servers
05:53
automatic bars
05:55
and so much more it's probably better to
05:59
assume that artificial intelligence is
06:01
headed in the direction of mundane
06:02
things like that
06:03
as opposed to robot doctors and lawyers
06:07
that would be crazy and terrifying
06:10
then again saudi arabia has recently
06:13
given citizenship to the social humanoid
06:15
robot
06:16
sophia she became the first ever robot
06:20
to get citizenship of any country in the
06:22
world
06:23
so perhaps it's not that crazy after all
06:27
number three automation
06:31
the biggest tech giants are turning to
06:33
automation to better serve their
06:34
audiences and reduce production costs
06:37
whether it be automated warehouse
06:39
workers to build cars
06:40
or even credit card companies using
06:42
software to detect fraud
06:44
there really is no shortage of
06:46
possibilities for automation
06:47
as anything can be automated the higher
06:51
the degree of automation
06:52
the less intervention needs to be
06:54
performed by humans to control the
06:56
process
06:58
so what will work look like when
06:59
everything is automated
07:02
well it's either the doomsday view where
07:04
humans are rendered obsolete
07:06
or the realistic view where robots do
07:09
all the bits of work we don't want to
07:11
leaving us to lounge around in luxury
07:14
either way there's no questioning our
07:16
working days will experience a radical
07:18
change
07:21
number two alive building materials
07:25
can you believe that even the industrial
07:28
infrastructure of cities and towns
07:30
could soon face some innovation as well
07:33
scientists have developed a sort of
07:34
living concrete that is capable of
07:37
self-healing it's not actually concrete
07:40
but it functions the same exact way and
07:44
plus it's a whole lot more
07:46
environmentally friendly
07:48
not much is known about the logistics of
07:50
it all but it's clear that building
07:53
structures may be able to fix their own
07:55
cracks
07:55
and suck up harmful toxins from the air
07:58
and even glow on command
08:00
making for some pretty amazing building
08:02
light shows
08:05
oh well it can take decades for
08:07
scientific breakthroughs to make their
08:09
way to a job site
08:11
but the fact of the matter is that a new
08:13
generation of materials
08:15
is coming and are making quite the buzz
08:17
in construction
08:18
[Music]
08:20
number one internet for everyone
08:23
it's crazy for us to imagine living in
08:25
developed countries that of the internet
08:27
that half of the world's population is
08:29
disconnected
08:31
well that's all soon about to change
08:34
google is trying to remedy this problem
08:36
by using helium balloons to send
08:38
internet signals to inaccessible areas
08:41
that's even companies planning on
08:43
launching a whole network of
08:44
laptop-sized mini satellites
08:46
into low earth orbits to deliver
08:48
internet to most remote places of the
08:50
world
08:51
we can expect the future of connection
08:53
everywhere
08:55
bonus microchip technology
08:59
microchip technology has already changed
09:01
the world in more ways than we can count
09:04
by allowing us to pack a serious punch
09:06
of computer power and put it in our
09:08
hands
09:09
but there's still a long way to go for
09:11
this kind of tech
09:12
elon musk for one has recently unveiled
09:15
a pig called gertrude
09:17
with a coin-sized computer chip in her
09:18
brain to demonstrate his ambitious plans
09:21
to create a
09:22
working brains and machine interface
09:24
called neuralink
09:26
he says it's kind of like a fitbit in
09:27
your skull with tiny wires
09:29
and has already applied to launch human
09:31
trials
09:33
according to elon the interface could
09:36
allow people with neurological
09:37
conditions to control phones or
09:39
computers with their mind
09:41
but the long-term ambition is to usher
09:43
in an age of what mr musk calls
09:45
superhuman cognition in part to combat
09:48
artificial intelligence
09:50
so powerful he says it could destroy the
09:52
human race
09:54
and that's a wrap for 10 future
09:56
technologies that will change the world
09:58
