“The Future World 2030”

The documentary of Dr. Michio Kaku’s it talked about his unique


perspective and background to predict what the future will be like. He
made several predictions that made us think about the future world,
predicting 10 years even 20 years from now that can possibly happen. By
his predictions, we could notice the advancement of technology that there
are things that can be possible in the near future. Human curiosity is such
a big impact to the innovation of science technology. Just because of our
curiosities, many brilliant ideas begin and it makes us do experimental to
try new things that can either benefit us.
Nowadays, some of the predictions of Dr. Michio Kaku’s are now
possible to happen. Those predictions such as for the cellphones with
flexible intelligent screens, it really surprised me because Apple Inc.
decided to include to their new model of iPhone that allow the users to
bend or fold the screen. As a research it, it was surprising to me because
there are some manufacturers that can think that kind of concept. That
they studied the flexible and organic light emitting diode (LED), so that
they can release this kind of concept to the consumers. Also, the
digitalization of capitalism, according to some music bosses people will
always buy music the old fashioned way like the “plaka” and they refused
to listen to the scientist. Now, people buy music in internet like iTunes, it is
more accessible and we can listen to music everywhere.
Lastly, the library of souls and immortality, according to him we will
be able to interact with historical figures of the past about a person’s
personality, history and information. As I heard what Dr. Michio Kaku’s
prediction, I remembered one Korean Drama that has a similarity on what
he predicted. In that, Korean Drama there is a person who are genius in
programming and he come up to this concept which he made called “Big
File”. Everyone can have save all information and even the annual income
of that particular person. After, I watched that drama, it makes me think
that the scriptwriters has a wide imagination because they can think that
kind of concept even though it is impossible to have one, just like what Dr.
Kaku’s prediction. In today’s generation, everyone has a wide imagination
and it tends to explore and go beyond on their imagination that can lead
them to do a experimentation.
Some of Dr. Kaku’s prediction can actually help us such as the
DNA chips, which he describe that it can able to scan for a possible
cancer. For me, it can be helpful for us because by this chip it can detect
the possible cancer before it get worse or severe and we can be aware on
our health.
According to Dr. Kaku’s prediction, in the future, our hospitals will
resemble body shops. Clearing our body of cancer or getting to our ideal,
healthy weight. Patient cells will be used to grow new, healthy organs,
replacing whichever part of the body malfunctions. At first, I thought it was
impossible because it will replace some of the body organs that
malfunctions just by using the patient cells. However, I look at the positive
side, it will be helpful to others because as they have the opportunity to
live longer. Furthermore, the perfect capitalism is also a great help to
consumers or buyers. We were no longer deceive by the other sellers who
are not giving the right price of the products.
Some of the possible predictions of Dr. Kaku’s that can happen 20
years from now are the digitalization of transportation, he stated that the
cars is digitized in the next decade which can drive by themselves. Using
this driverless car, the traffic jams and accidents can save people every
year, which is, it will be great because it will decrease the rate or
percentage of accidents in our country.
Dr. Kaku’s quoted that “In the future, you’ll simply jump into your
car, turn on the internet, turn on a movie and sit back and relax and turn
on the automatic pilot, and the car will drive itself.” It simply means we
were just sitting and watching them to move, while us we were not doing
anything because the technology itself are the one who are doing
everything for us. It’s a bit easier for us because we were not the one
doing the complicated things, but at the second thought it’s is scarier
because if all the his predictions in the future are might happen, we were
just a human sitting and doing nothing. We were lazy to do our task just
because we know that there’s a technology that we can depend on. We
were just existed but all of these technologies are the one who do our job.
The exponential growth in technological advancement has inspired
futurists and physicists like Dr. Michio Kaku to form some rather
exceptional predictions concerning our future. Dr. Kaku’s takes complex
subjects and transforms them into common analogies bringing the exciting
and unimaginable new prospects for human beings into focus.
After watching the documentary of the future world by 2030, it
made me think that because of science technology everything is possible,
about the digitalization of transportation, medicine, education etc. and
everything that can possibly turn into something different from today’s
generation.
Dr. Kaku’s prediction might possibly happen in the near future however,
we should be aware that all of these are just mere idea in his imagination
and as what he observe on what is happening now. Furthermore, it has
positive and negative impact in our life if it can really happen.
Therefore, science technology advancement can change the
perspective of the people on how powerful technology is. It give us moral
that we should take it easy and think before we develop and innovate new
technology if it can be helpful to the society. That as humans our curiosity
and wide imaginations can affect and influence in everything we do, that
we must aware and limit ourselves. Those predictions of Dr. Kaku’s is a
way of telling to everyone in every possible way that can happen and it
can change today’s generation. He only convey the message of the
possible future that we can encounter 20 years from now and we should
be ready when that day comes.
