If you were to look at the world at its current state, with the epidemic going through every country it seems, businesses shutting down and various economies taking serious hits, the last thing you'd be thinking about is the future a few years from now. That's totally understandable as we're not even sure where we're going to be a few months from now. But as with all great diseases and plagues, this too shall pass, and the future will continue on as scheduled.
The 2020's are aiming to be an important decade for humanity as a whole whether we want to admit it or not. NASA and SpaceX are aiming to take us back to the moon and get us to colonize Mars after decades of wondering if it was honestly possible. There will no doubt be major advancements in technology that will help propel us forward, and various new leadership could help steer the path of humanity for many years and decades to come.
But in truth, let us ask ourselves, what is the true future of humanity? And who can we turn to in order to get a glimpse of what's to come? That would be none other than Ray Kurzweil, an inventor and futurist who not only believes in the power of humanity, but believes in a very beautiful and technologically vibrant system that humanity is slowly building itself toward.
But why should we trust this guy? Why is it that Ray Kurzweil is an "expert" on something that hasn't even happened yet. To put it simply...he's gotten a lot right over the years.
Ray is renowned for his predictions on technological and social advancement. He said he’s made 147 predictions in the age of machines, and according to him, “86% were correct to the year.” Heck, even if he was just 50% right, that would be a staggering number, and it's not just his bravado saying he was right, we have facts that can prove it.
In 1990, he famously predicted that computers would beat the best human chess players “by the year 2000.” And in May of 1997, World Champion Garry Kasparov was defeated by IBM’s Deep Blue computer in a chess tournament.
Kurzweil also foresaw the explosive growth in the Internet at a time when there were only 2.6 million Internet users in the world. Now, the internet is one of the most important things in the history of the world, used by many countries all over the world and is vital for various people doing their jobs, as well as helping make jobs easier. He also predicted the role of computers in classrooms, speech-to-text software and many other technological developments that have come to pass.
In short, he's predicted a lot, and if he has notions about the future, it's a pretty good chance that at least SOME of these predictions are going to come true, and as we get closer to the year 2050, where a a lot of "technological advances" are said to be in full effect, you have to wonder how Ray will see things working out. So let's look at some of these predictions and break down the likelihood of them happening, shall we?
He’s optimistic about renewable energy for example. According to his studies, the rise of renewable energy is seeing exponential growth, doubling every 4 years which would be quite a feat if true.
“In 2030 we will have [total] renewable energy, and it will be inexpensive,” he predicts.
