These are 09 ideas for the coming decade I'm convinced we can change the world with. I plan to work on ideas the most, so check back often for updates.
1. Replace the current energy from
coal with solar power.
The issue of how to produce green
energy will be the main issue for the next generation. To eliminate the use of
coal will be fundamental for turning our planet green again.
As of now, the highest amount of
energy comes from the sun and wind; currently the biggest industry for energy
is coal. With the coming of technology like solar power, this will change.
2. Create skin that allows people to
interact more in real life.
This idea should have been an
innovation 25 years ago, that is why it is so long coming into being. With the
advance of technology in the field of skin, we’ll see it in the field of
electronics. Being able to interact in real life? That’s what we call
artificial intelligence.
Now, it is important to note that
artificial intelligence is not an automatic intelligence; rather, it is a
linguistic tool that recognizes the meaning of text. Thus, no machines have the
ability to replace us completely, it is expected to help us.
3. Make the process of making money
easy
We have an indication that the
system of taxation in the world is working out. Hence, we should remove the
world of losses, the profit maximization path and not a cycle that is chock
full of speculation.
However, any profit-focused body
also needs income and, therefore, it creates tools to control the flow of
individuals. With the financial bubble about to burst, this speculation will
soon be vanished. Let it happen and think of how to clear-up this company or
some other.
4. Make wars more effective.
Traditional fighting is time
consuming and costly. For the next generation, the traditional way to fight
wars will be very difficult, I believe. Rather, the total attack will move to
virtual contests. And the best way to do that is to eliminate the opportunity
of war itself.
5. Extinguish arms race.
With the largest quantum leap of
potential weapons on the planet, the competition for innovation is about to set
into a blind alley. With the use of high tech weapons, the human race will be misled
into the worst ways of combat.
5. Learn to slow down.
I think of leisure as a beautiful
luxury, a kind of high tourism. When the time to relax occurs, people never
want to do something else. However, as the exploration and enhancement of
technology start to become more and more prominent, we’ll start to see the new
the human race in the animal kingdom — a tribe that lives the luxury lifestyle
of leisure.
6. Make the end of the earth not an
unsolved problem.
Imagine a world where we cannot
think about the end of the earth anymore; in other words, how we fight the
problem is irrelevant when we have solved it. Imagine you don’t have an actual
problem — you have a really bad headache — but if you think of a solution to
the headaches, you can’t think of anything else.
7. The present world is shabbily
managed.
I am actually annoyed with the way
we managed, or at least it is my perception. We should not live in a country
where every system of administration is completely destroyed and confined
within the limits of the logic and methodology.
With the launching of the concept of
smart cities, we will see the improvement and simplification of the management
of all the systems.
8. Clean water.
We’re going to see the need for
conservation of water that is scarce in our current living space. Since the end
of the last ice age, there is not even enough water for three days. The least
we can do is to conserve water. In addition, with the strong determination to
avoid using it so much, we are moving towards developing the technology that
will save water and use it efficiently.
9. Make pets and fish pets to make
us happier.
I am 100 percent sure that for
people, there are always two types of pets. During the lifetime, they want pets
to make their lives a bit more normal and comfortable. But after the death of
the pets, we miss our pets at much more than just an emotional level. After a
long life, for humans, the day to day relationships and social interactions are
the hardest part. Pets are basically being used to fill in this void, just like
books after our human parents die.
