‪2045: A New Era for Humanity‬

I just read some of the comments for this video on the youtube channel and they don't seem to share the optimism of this video. Here are some them.

Even though I really want to happen, not every body cares about the future of humanity; just look in the side bar, the new call of duty has 6,000,000 million views while this only 2,000.

As cool as this sounds, I don't think it will happen this fast, unfortunately.

What about humanity? Humanity is a very broad concept. The truth is that if those things will ever exist, will only be accessible for those who can afford it. New era for humanity is overrated! I'm with you, I think we are moving closer to an era "Wall-e" movie style. We are not thinking about the implications.

quote "thiis is just another big hoax project.

I’m inventor from Russia and I know the real situation in this country – there are not possible to do anything. most people are dumb. laws are dumb.

so as i already told the name of this project not 2045 but “give me money! i want more money!”

Just think, in 2050 they will be looking back on this video like we do now with 1950s future prediction videos

Yeah, I think this kind of top down management loses its flexibility.

Just viewed their website. Except for two or so soft-area foreign experts, most are experts in Russia. Also, a lot of Russian influence could be seen. I'm not to optimistic now.

Russia's internet is not so good.

Also, Russia's natural resource strategy is not likely to work well in the next decade, considering its coercive manner and America's shale gas revolution.

Anyway, send my best hope to this project.

sweetheartteddybear in reply to SteinIvar88 (Show the comment) 1 day ago

Sorry for that.

My comment is truly overreaction.

I am strongly in favor of singularity. There are irresponsible Russian scientists pronouncing their ambition, which, considering its context is not so achievable. Also, other Russian government projects of high technology, to certain degree, is doomed.

I hope I could be more optimistic

sweetheartteddybear in reply to SteinIvar88 (Show the comment) 1 day ago

This initiative has nothing to do with the Russian government. And blaming central governmental structure and "suppression of individuality" as reasons that make a project doomed from the beginning is makes a too simplified perspective.

SteinIvar88 in reply to sweetheartteddybear (Show the comment) 2 days ago

I like to see myself as an optimist, but flying cars and autonomous robot assistans in every home by 2020? Really?

So what do you guys think about this?

The first comment contains the most intriguing clause,

"The truth is that if those things will ever exist, will only be accessible for those who can afford it."

There is something to the above, costs are high at the outset, afterwards they drop, sometimes precipitously (what comes to mind immediately is calculators in the '80s).
But medical costs, yes, costs are v. high, take decades to reduce.

@Chrisitan Corralejo

I believe you are projecting your fear of the future into your predictions of the future.

These are some of the tech/sing related headlines I've browsed, just from today (and this is a typical day - not special or groundbreaking in any way - aside from the fact that these days, every day is "groundbreaking").

Why Wiggling in High Heels Could Help Improve Prosthetic Limbs and Robots
http://www.sciencedaily.com/releases/2012/05/120508220116.htm
People walking normally, or tottering in high heels, and ostriches strutting -- they all exert the same forces on the ground despite their very differently shaped feet, according to research funded by the Wellcome Trust and the Biotechnology and Biological Sciences Research Council. The finding suggests that prosthetic lower limbs and robots' legs could be made more efficient by making them less human-like and more like the prosthetics used by 'Blade Runner' Oscar Pistorius.

Cheap, energy-efficient ARM Cortex-M0+ may usher in the Internet of Things
http://www.gizmag.com/arm-cortex-m0-plus/22375/
The newest entry in ARM's Cortex line, the Cortex-M0+ is claimed to be the world's most energy-efficient processor, delivering 32-bit performance on around one third of the typical energy requirements of an 8- or 16-bit processor. Targeting low-cost sensors and microcontrollers, the M0+ will come with a very modest price tag and could act as a crucuial stepping stone to a world in which everyday objects communicate with each other, sharing data to make smart, coordinated decisions that will improve our quality of life.

This is just a SAMPLE, of some of the headlines I've come across this morning, while having my coffee.

This is a typical day, on the internet, searching for signs of the Singularity.

It's not even a particularly breathtaking day, although there are some neat things here (SynthNet in particular is exciting).

Some days are even more jaw dropping than this.

The Singularity is already here.

And while I was typing out my last message, this popped up at a site I already checked and scoured for articles earlier this morning:

http://www.gizmag.com/zeron-levitates-magnetic-ball/22482/

People who saw the 1984 film 2010: The Year We Make Contact might remember a scene in which Roy Scheider, while describing the orientation of the spaceship that he’s aboard, picks up a pen and places it in mid-air in front of himself. While that effect was actually accomplished using a sticky-sided pen and a very clear plate of glass, the same sort of thing is now actually possible – if you’re in the right place, and positioning the right object. The place is MIT’s Media Lab, and the object is a small plastic-coated spherical magnet called ZeroN. Users can physically place it anywhere within a specified three-dimensional block of “anti-gravity space,” then watch as it stays in place when they let it go. It can also move through the air on its own, and even function as a virtual movie camera.

Things are actually going FASTER than many futurists predict. Shave off about 10 years (appx.) from Ray Kurzweil's predictions, and you have estimates a little closer to the truth.

We are very possibly in for a hard take off.

"If a technological singularity happens especially quickly, it's called a hard takeoff. (Otherwise, it's called a soft takeoff.)

What "especially quickly" means is open to interpretation. One important question is whether the outside world has time to react."

@ iPan

Those comments that were listed are what other people think and not my own personal opinions, though I agree with most of them to an extent. Also, I think the problem is more with public cooperation that technological advancement, though some of those advancements are much harder to achieve that others. People either don't have that much faith in these things or they just don't care as much.

"People either don't have that much faith in these things or they just don't care as much."

Academics don't want to know this- and who can blame them? if you were cloistered in a university/college, would you want a full appreciation of how retro the thinking of the maddening crowd is? not the way they live, they like the gadgets-- but though their bodies are in the present, their minds are interfaced to the past. This is what a topnotch common-tater wrote:
"Americans are a funny people, they admire those who "live modern", but they are very conservative [backward-looking, actually].

Perhaps the most important article you'll read today:

Since it stands, there are several planned rivals - possibly just 3 -- who is able to manage to create the top catamarans it may need for you to support difficult.
Distribute over 46 events of race in between Come july 1st Several and also June. One particular, The year 2013, these original competitions threat dropping their particular appeal, each well as well as monetarily, specially since San Franciscans will not have a very rooting attention before the America's Glass closing starts.
Your opposition races will have to be extremely competing. Unless a overdue entry, your contenders are generally Italy's Luna Rossa Problem, Sweden's Artemis Racing, Emirates Crew Zealand and also Group South korea. It's not several fishing boats for you to support almost two months of racing, and also the record may get smaller to a few when Crew South korea can't find the boat developed. The team published its $200,500 entry charge with the August. A single timeline but nevertheless provides extensive operate left before it may start it's AC72.
In case you'll find just three Vuitton competitors, you will see simply a pair of contests every day in lieu of three, regatta representative Iain Murray mentioned.
"I guess it's going to be stimulating to determine the amount the particular (enthusiast) subsequent can be on these kinds of motorboats,"he stated. "If one particular boat is actually ruling, it's probably going to be challenging.Inch
South Korea's add-on will be essential, even though it isn't really certain at this point.
"They bought the types of materials with his or her layout, nevertheless they haven't started building but,"Murray stated. "They're acquiring overdue.Inch

On the other hand, another teams' efforts are well under way. Emirates Staff Nz unveiled it's AC72 in New Zealand latest research by. The Artemis Sporting vessel arrived on a container vessel a couple weeks ago and are launched almost certainly in October. Luna Rossa is anticipated to file for within Oct or perhaps Late. Nz and Artemis later on will launch their next fishing boats as backup copies.
Oracle will certainly release their initial AC72 this week in case all of the methods are generally Okay. A second motorboat will probably be unveiled early in the year to supply opposition to the principal vessel bringing about the last.
In the seven <a >www.authenticlouisvuittonoutletmarket.com</a> Glass regattas that were used given that 1983, there have not really already been less than several fishing boats. There were Thirteen in 1987 along with 14 each throughout Two thousand as well as 3 years ago.
Louis Vuitton Chief executive officer Yves Carcelle, joining the particular Air conditioning Globe String, stated he had expected more competitors but the worldwide economic crisis acquired in how. Nonetheless, he said, "We be aware of a higher level race will likely be genuinely excellent. Following your day, it could be safer to have less challengers yet better.In .
During the past, he stated, there were competition series where the space involving the most robust and the the most fragile teams was huge. But that does not fret him or her. "I'm confident we will come with an extraordinary vision next season,"Carcelle said.
