  • Hey there!

  • Welcome to Life Noggin!

  • This video was made possible thank to WIX Code!

  • If you're looking to create a website, check out the link in the description.

  • Think back 100 years.

  • Electricity had pretty much just been invented.

  • Movies had no sound, and even carrier pigeons were even still being used!

  • Things have come a long way since then, which has us wondering, what will technology look like in the next 100 years?

  • There are some pretty life-changing inventions predicted to come about in the next century.

  • Flying cars, once thought to be a thing of just science fiction, are actually progressing at lightning speed.

  • A lot of the technology already exists and yeah, it's gonna go through a lot of changes, but some experts believe that flying cars will be available to the public in just ten to fifteen years!

  • Regulations are still in the works, but it sounds like you'll be whizzing around in your flying car well before 2120.

  • Another future tech?

  • Brain-linked VR.

  • It doesn't exist just yet, but it's thought that this could run directly through your brain, by passing biological sensory systems, creating artificial experiences of touch, smell, and maybe even taste.

  • It could construct an alternate reality so realistic that you mix up what's real and what's not.

  • The homes that you live in will be pretty different too.

  • People are expecting that we'll be 3D printing incredible homes and even making them foldable and transportable!

  • The hope is that 3D printing in general will allow us to print literally anything we need.

  • New hammer?

  • No problem!

  • Need a car part?

  • You got it!

  • New organ?

  • No, not that organ.

  • Yeah, that kind of organ!

  • Yeah, even that's being developed.

  • And improvements to health care don't stop with artificial body parts.

  • Some researchers are hoping that by 2120, we'll all have little nanobots circulating through our body that constantly search for threats like illness and disease,

  • and then fix the problem from the inside out!

  • With tech of the future, you may be able to one day have an extra set of robot arms and realize your dreams of becoming a human spider!

  • You've probably already heard of the powered exoskeletons being developed, but one of the more promising advancements in the field is having a mechanical "third arm" to help you out with tasks.

  • Currently being developed for the military, this third arm is lightweight, doesn't need batteries, and can even distribute the load of a heavy weapon.

  • A small pilot study in 2017 showed that it could reduce some arm fatigue and muscle activation, as well as improve marksmanship for some soldiers.

  • It's already on its way to beating Triangle Bob in an arm wrestling match! And his arm fell off.

  • That is unfortunate.

  • Of course, in order to create these kinds of tech, scientists, researchers, and corporations will need a lot of help from good old' trusty computers.

  • Today's computers have become a lot more powerful over the last 50 years, but advancements have started to slow down recently.

  • Moore's Law stated that the number of transistors per silicon computing chip would double every two years, which it diduntil recently.

  • Which sounds bad for speed and efficiency, but some experts aren't too worried.

  • Instead, they're taking other steps to work around this, like reassessing the outdated structure of computers.

  • Many CPUs still have features that date back to the 1940s! and until just a few years ago, tons of computers were still using code from the 1980s!

  • Despite all the work that needs to be done, coding is still advancing and powering every aspect of our digital world, including me!

  • It allows humans to give computers and programs step-by-step instructions to do all kinds of things.

  • Like track Triangle Bob's step count!

  • Really?

  • 5 steps?

  • What did you walk to fridge and collapse?

  • What tech would you wanna see in the next 100 years?

  • Any issue that you need solved?

  • Let me know in the comment section below.

  • If you wanna jump start on the next 100 years, our friends over at WIX, who sponsored this video, are here to help you with WIX Code.
