Here's What Futurist Ray Kurzweil Thinks Life Will Be Like In The Next 20 Years

  • Our brains will extend to the cloud, which will allow us to learn new things at any age.
  • We will be able to selectively erase pieces of our memory.
  • We’ll be in augmented reality at all times.
  • By 2029, machines will be able to match the intelligence of humans, and they’ll be able to make us laugh and cry.
  • Around the 2030s, tiny “nanobots” able to repair and preserve our organs will keep us healthier and smarter.
  • 3D printing will be even more common than it is today, with public 3D printing stations for people to print out clothes, toys, and anything else.
  • Within 25 years, computers will be the size of a blood cell and we’ll be able to connect it to the brain without the need for surgery.
  • Society will reach a state of “technological singularity” in 2045 where technology enables superhuman machine intelligences to emerge and people and machines become deeply integrated.

    Granted, there is more to the Singularity than Kurzweil, but he paints the prettiest picture.
