Exploring life@2050

The future was perhaps never so unpredictable in the history of mankind. Today, the world is on the
cusp of next industrial revolution where technology is changing every ‘nano’ second and is
supplementing (even supplanting) human intelligence. The things which were unheard of a few years
back have become common today. Artificial intelligence equipped devices, Internet of Things (IOT),
advanced robotics, driverless cars, hyper loop, nano technology, block chain, bit-coin, virtual reality, 3D
printing etc are going to revolutionize our lives. Within next 20-30 years (say by 2050), life will become
unrecognizably different from what it is today. This book is an attempt to present life changing
technologies and associated issues such as: 'Whether world will be ruled by machines in future?' 'Will
we lose our jobs to Artificial Intelligence/Robots?' 'What should we teach our kids to compete with
machines?' social dimensions of super longevity and designer babies, future of transportation demand
and so on. The book has been written in a simple non-technical language and has been targeted at
explorers with inquisitive minds who are interested in knowing the potential of technology. It leaves the
readers to marvel at what human mind can come up with.
