Assignment 1, Step 1, Madison Kelley

Ten Fragments with Images:

1. Urban/Vertical Farming will lead to the ability to grow plants in a polluted environment and allow us to grow agriculture in space stations or even possibly new planets to sustain human life.
 

2. Projection Mapping is perhaps the beginning phases to holograms- where visuals will no longer need to be projected onto something tangible, but exist on it's own. The future form of "Skype."



3. Diabetes will be able to be contained through beta cell encapsulation and soon after immune research therapy will find the cure for type one diabetics thanks to the Juvenile Diabetes Research Foundation.



4. Growing your own children will be as simple as growing plants with new developments such as womb transplants. With this technological advance, growing children from conception through birth in a lab, with the possibility of speeding up the process and no need for the stretch marks of pregnancy, will become the newest trend in the future.

 


5. Writing will become slim to none in the future since technology and typing is so heavily funded within education now, about 45 out of 50 U.S. states no longer have cursive in their curriculum; a possible illiterate future.
    Who will be able to read any documents in cursive?


6. Developing software as a career will lead to crazy new technology systems and programs, making even sketching on paper a thing of the past. The Cintiq is the door to the future of art- everything created on a computer.



7. Thanks to biomedical engineers, we have already created bionic, artificial replacements for lost limbs which will lead to the creation of artificial organs, making life more long term, and the beginning of designing human-like robots.




8. The Da Vinci Surgical System has made surgery minutely invasive, leaving little to no scar and surgical precision beyond any normal human doctor could accomplish with his own hands. In the future, doctors will only exist to create these machines to do the surgery on humans and every home will come equipped with its own machine.



9. Video games will no longer be fun to play on a controller, instead people will be hooked up to the machine, connecting the player's brain to the game, putting them inside the game controlling every move, feeling, and smell the player endures.



10. With the NASA budget cut, very wealthy people have been launching their own funded plans for space travel. Because of this, people will start to use space travel more and more, eventually allowing everyone to have their own personal ship to travel in instead of cars or bikes.
