2060: FLYING CARS
2063: ARTIFICIAL INTELLIGENCE
2114: MEMORY BACKUP
2259: COLLECTIVE LEARNING
The New York Times recently published an article about a crowd sourced timeline from Science Times of what people predict to be reality in the coming years. Think cancer will ever be cured? The timeline predicts that will happen in 2023. How about making cash illegal? Readers predicted this will also happen within our lifetime, 2056. Finally, everyone's favorite, artificial intelligence. According to the timeline this will happen by 2063. Here are some other predictions the timeline made:
2013: ELECTRONIC INK
2019: ONLINE SCIENCE
2019: UNIVERSAL MEDICAL DATABASE
2022: HALO OF DATA
2024: PRACTICAL ROBOT CARS
2026: PROGRAMMABLE ORGANISMS
2031: FULL LIFE RECORDING
2039: DIGITAL ‘LIFE’ AND EVOLUTION
2056: CASH IS OUTLAWED
2058: CYBERNETIC INTELLIGENCE
2056: CASH IS OUTLAWED
2058: CYBERNETIC INTELLIGENCE
This is a great example of how firms are using open source publishing and incorporates how innovation will change our lives going forward. It is a pretty interesting timeline and something fun to think about.

An interesting article. These projections of future events are always fun. This reminds me of some of Ray Kurzweil's predictions in regard to the Singularity (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Singularity_Is_Near)
