We are on the threshold of a new life

Scientists are confident that in a few decades global changes will occur on our planet, up to and including the destruction of all life on earth. In their opinion, the following discoveries and developments will most likely change our lives:
Space elevator – an amazing idea of engineers should become a reality in 2050. The unique device will carry a person into outer space. Solar batteries and a cable, the length of which will be about 100 thousand kilometers, will be built into the elevator. Such an elevator will allow not only astronauts but also ordinary people to travel through space.
Mechanizing the entire work process is a long-standing dream of mankind; today there are already enterprises that have almost completely abandoned hired labor. According to scientists, in a few decades engineers will be able to develop robots that will replace humans in any field of activity, from factory workers to drivers.
Artificial organs in a test tube are a chance for life for millions of people. Today, donation is an acute problem in any country and scientists are confident that in 15-20 years the situation will change. Scientists are already able to grow artificial organs in the laboratory from the patient's cells, and after a few more years of research, such technology will be widely used in medicine.
Flash drives have become an integral part of our lives, and scientists are confident that these small devices for recording information will help not only save music, movies, or photos, but also your own DNA. In just 10 years, such information will be easily recorded on an electronic medium, and each person will be able to find out everything about their own health.
Diagnostic chips – many diseases now, due to untimely detection, cause severe and often irreversible processes in the body. Scientists are confident that in the near future, the problem of detecting diseases at early stages will be solved with the help of microchips that will be able to monitor a person’s health around the clock.
Dinosaurs will settle on our planet again – scientists have been experimenting with the DNA of extinct animals for a long time, according to them, they have already managed to achieve good results, and do not intend to stop. After scientists are able to “revive” dinosaurs, they will begin similar experiments with Neanderthals.
Computer technology will also undergo significant changes - laptops, tablets, etc. will no longer be so popular. Our world will be enveloped in electronic impulses and it will be possible to access the Internet using glasses or even contact lenses.
Mental communication will also become a reality, in the future a unique device – microchips – will help with this. Today, specialists have already developed prototypes of such devices, which were created specifically for people with hearing or speech problems.
Technological progress will lead to the emergence of flying cars and there are already prototypes of such machines, which are called aeromobiles. According to scientists, flying cars may appear in 10-15 years and will help solve the problem of the eternal lack of time and traffic jams.
According to one version, the development of humanity, new discoveries will destroy the border between countries and help form a single world community. Scientists note that the new world order will resemble the USSR or the modern United States of America and will lead to the destruction of terrorism.
