10 Fragments plus Images
1. With the increase of things
such as cloning organs, life expectancy continues to increase, that
in time could cause severe problems for job openings for the new
generation as the retirement age also increases, leading to a huge
need for new jobs and larger gap between rich and poor.
2. Cloud seeding is a way of
creating clouds to increase rain or snow; if the technology is
perfected areas of severe drought could easily be saved, but a
negative use for this innovation would be to create severe storms as
a form of warfare.
3.“Feelies” are pods that are
used to satisfy sexual desires that in the future could lead to a
sharp decrease in sex trafficking, and the spread of STD's. (the
novel “Brave New World”)
4. Inventing a way to live on other
planets such as Mars, could drastically influence the world's economy
with the added resources, of course transporation via space, and
countless other aspects of life on earth.
5. Genetic modification in the form of
altering DNA before birth would cause an uproar among many religions,
but would pave the way for essentially a new generation of humans
with the most optimized genes that could eventually take over or even
evolve into a new species. (the novel “Brave New World”)
6.A reality TV show is based around a
single person's life from conception through death. All aspects of
this person's life are controlled and filmed by the producers in a
way that the main character never knows. This would overstep basic
human rights in many ways and could pave the way for even more
questionable acts in the entertainments industry that could extend to
other industries. ("The Truman Show")
7. A machine able to store the energy
of lightning would revolutionize how the world would power just about
everything. It would be cheap and essentially limitless resulting in
far less pollution, less harm to the environment, creating a cleaner
more streamlined version of the future.
8. Today in places such as northern
Europe and cities like Dubai, people have created artificial islands
to build their homes. With the increase in population, a solution for
more space is to create more of these islands, a better version would
be floating islands so that there would be less damage to ocean
environments. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Artificial_island
9. Mutiple animals like jellyfish and
small tropical fish have been genetically modified to have bio-
luminescent qualities. In the future, this could be expanded to just
about any living organism for aesthetic purposes specifically human
body modification such as tattoos, decorative houseplants, or living
light fixtures to save energy. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/GloFish
10. Squirrel suits allow human's
to glide off buildings or cliff to experience a simulation of flight.
In the future if this were to be perfected using some sort of power
source (solar, magnets, bio fuel, etc), a new form of transportation
would be used, as well as for entertainment.
11. With the creation of new lighter,
stronger metal, buildings could be built way over ten times the
typical skyscraper height today. Years from now whole cities would be
miles above the ground, splitting society literally in two due to the
newer “floating” cities being affordable to only the upper class.
(“Star Wars”)
