the future is now welcome to
watchmojo.com and today we’re counting
down our picks for the top ten feature
technologies that may change the world
before we begin we publish new videos
every day
so be sure to subscribe for more great
content for this list we’re taking a
look at the most cutting-edge
technologies and innovation that could
change the way we live on our little
blue planet number 10 sound disruptors
for firefighting George Mason University
engineering students
Seth Robertson and Viet Ren Mei have
drastically altered the future of
fighting fire they’ve developed a sonic
fire extinguisher that moves the air at
frequencies between 30 and 60 Hertz
which interrupts oxidization at the core
of a fire basically it separates the
fuel from the oxygen and as everyone who
has ever tried to get a camp fire going
those you need those things to be
working in tandem if you want to get a
flame going they’ve had success thus far
on alcohol based fires but if they get
it to work on other fuels like wood or
oil it could provide a cheaper cleaner
and more efficient way to battle blazes
number 9
Hyperloop Radio City Music Hall this is
another brainwave from Elon Musk and
Space Exploration Technologies
Corporation that are known as SpaceX
that helps to improve and ultimately
change the face of Transportation the
design is surprisingly elegant in its
simplicity they’re specifically designed
pods or capsules upheld in a near vacuum
and floating on 0.05 inches of
pressurized air that are then sent at
high speed through a steel tube well it
does sound a tad claustrophobic
these passenger capsules would travel at
an average speed of approximately 600
miles per hour
with potential max speeds of up to 760
miles per hour
energy-efficient and wicked fast it
could change the way people get from
place to place forever Los Angeles to
San Francisco usually takes about seven
eight hours if you don’t run into
traffic this would take you there in
about 30 minutes
number eight transhumanism more of an
intellectual movement than an invention
transhumanism is the belief that humans
can still evolve it’s that final
evolution linking our minds and bodies
with advanced technology a subject
that’s been popularized by sci-fi films
and books for years and in fact the term
transhumanism was coined by Julian
Huxley the brother of brave new world
author Aldous Huxley the idea is to
ultimately bring forth a post human
state of being we all accept that some
combination of mutation and
recombination is the raw material for
change while the concept is unnerving
it’s best to many for those who embrace
the idea there has never been a more
exciting time to be alive
even if that life may be linked to a
hard drive the fastest reflexes modern
technology has to offer onboard computer
assisted memory and a lifetime of on the
street law-enforcement programming
number seven the M drive this is the
name given to the design of a method of
advanced space propulsion technology
also known as a radio frequency or RF
resonant cavity thruster this
electromagnetic thruster uses pent up
electromagnetic radiation to achieve
impetus and momentum without discharging
propellant if this sounds a little
confusing don’t worry it does basically
defy the laws of physics the
conservation of momentum implied in
Newton’s laws of motion says it should
be impossible and therefore there are
many skeptical scientists who’ve given
us a nickname the impossible drive
however if they do get it to work it
would completely change how we could
liftoff making space exploration and
defense mission that much simpler
number six smart thing Samsung bought
the company back in 2014 and the concept
is basically in the name the idea is to
produce smart home using an open
platform where in your appliances and
devices all interact with one another
you know like in the Jetsons there may
be that tree house of four 12-episode
say it’s stuffy in here and I know a
certain someone who really fancies lilac
I just like it is all using the Internet
of Things the system would work on a hub
connected straight into the houses
internet router connecting devices to
one another via the cloud companionable
things could consist of locks lights
electrical outlets
motion sensors speakers moisture sensors
and thermostats like most innovations
that lurk on the border of sci-fi and
reality it sounds like it could either
be amazing or a hackers paradise email
okay I will read email for Theodore Cory
number five driverless cars oh my gosh
it’s changing legs on the club already
being tested by Google and Tesla Motors
this innovation could change everything
from the way people are employed to the
way we interact to the layout of cities
it could even spell the end of the auto
industry altogether to deal with
driverless or autonomous cars is not
that you’ll own one but that no one will
own one already fewer and fewer people
are choosing to purchase cars an
expensive investment it’s only used on
average five percent of the time
according to transportation advisor Paul
barter more people are opting for
rideshare groups like uber and that’s
where a driver starts to become
redundant
basically think of a world of johnnie
cabs fewer cars less pollution narrowing
roads more public space yeah
you’re in a Johnny pack number four
electric cars even if you don’t believe
in man-made climate change everyone can
probably agree that wasteful and
non-renewable fuels are virtually
unnecessary these days people have been
trying to get electric cars running for
practically as long as cars have existed
but so far they’ve been hindered by the
distances they can travel speed and a
lack of charging stations but with the
rise of companies like Tesla Motors
those issues are falling by the wayside
as we begin to change the way we think
about thriving Tesla isn’t the only
group developing these newer cars which
as of 2016 are equipped with
self-driving Hardware but they’ve
definitely hit the fast lane number
three virtual reality virtual reality
holds the key to the evolution of the
human mind attach my folks like the
electric car scientists have been trying
to get virtual reality or VR technology
off the ground for a long time
VR can refer to basically any immersive
software that simulates real sights
sounds and experiences while the 2010
thought being marketed as a way to give
gamers a more full-on experience the
technology is being explored for
application in many other areas like
engineering military training archeology
phobia treatments and therapy and film
we saw very quickly showing different
architects and engineers that they
really needed VR to see space with
augmented reality quickly becoming an
actual reality this technology will
eventually change not only how we see
the world but also how we interact with
it number two artificial intelligence or
robots with personalities this is
perhaps the most highly criticized
technology on this list and the one most
likely to make people wary artificial
intelligence many years of cinema have
taught us that it can go one of two ways
it could be incredible or incredibly
horrifying
[Music]
while proponents of AI development argue
that it will help people in many tasks
the developments of machines with a
human or greater level of intelligence
has raised a lot of philosophical as
well as ethical debate attention from
the risk of putting humans out of jobs
to general safety to the moral
ramifications of creating something
sentient purely for servile work the
discussion is sure to be a long one and
will surely shape our future I think
every set is like not all AI futures of
a nine before we unveil our number one
pick here are some honorable mentions
our vision is to transition eye tracking
from being an expensive lab equipment
into a predict product levels of
penetration then you can you can drink
water number one 3d printing we’ve all
seen the videos of those little objects
whizzed into existence no big deal right
while it is obviously in its infancy now
the ability to produce items through
additive manufacturing could drastically
change how we live what if you could
print out your own replacement car parts
tools household items reproduce
priceless pieces of art functional
weapons medical devices its impact on
globalization and manufacturing sectors
worldwide along with its potential to
deeply affect routine labor and capital
markets should not be underestimated it
could also be great leading to a
resurgence of small manufacturing
companies while the social and financial
impacts are difficult to predict at this
point
3d printing could be the biggest most
innocuous innovation since the printing
press there is a way we can get action
figures to look exactly like us oh yeah
how’s that two words 3d printer but
maybe it’s three words do you agree with
