Future technologies. Presentation on the future of the computer Presentation on the future of high technology

slide 3

The diversity of the world around us requires a deep and comprehensive knowledge of fundamental concepts, categories and patterns that reflect the properties of matter, space and time, the living world, as well as the values ​​of culture and morality, essential aspects of human nature, etc. Fundamental concepts, laws and principles reflect phenomena not not only the material but also the social world. Unfortunately, the past time has left many examples of the fact that the oblivion of fundamental truths has caused and is causing irreparable damage to nature, the living world, and man himself.

slide 4

The 20th century has come to an end, having revealed to the world a new - technogenic - civilization. Man went into space, penetrated into the atomic nucleus, mastered new types of energy, created powerful computing systems, unraveled the genetic nature of heredity, learned to use the riches of nature on an unprecedented scale. However, he succeeded much less in a rational and careful attitude to nature and its richest resources. Moreover, it is the rapid and uncontrolled technological growth that has become the main risk factor for the future of mankind.

slide 5

What is happening now, in the period of human development on a technogenic basis? According to paleontologists, for the entire time of the evolution of life on Earth, about 500 million species of living organisms have passed in succession. Now there are about 2 million of them. As a result of deforestation alone, the total losses amount to 4-6 thousand species per year. This is about 10 thousand times the natural rate of their extinction before the appearance of man.

slide 6

At the same time, more and more types of artificial, mainly industrial products, sometimes called technogenic populations, appear on our planet from year to year. One of these “populations” is a car. Since 1970, the global motor vehicle fleet has been growing by about 16 million vehicles per year and by 2020 it will amount to more than one billion vehicles. Every year, tens of millions of other types of machines, many different devices, etc. are produced. Long highways are being built, large industrial enterprises cities are growing rapidly. At the same time, on an unprecedented scale, they consume Natural resources, and a huge number of industrial and household waste, difficult to be included in the cycle of nature. All this in aggregate is an artificial environment created by human hands - the technosphere, embracing the entire biosphere and displacing living space from it.

Slide 7

New technologies of production and agriculture cannot do without a gigantic flow of chemicals that cause an irreversible transformation of the thinnest fruit-bearing layer of the earth's surface. The energy sector is developing even faster. According to the World Energy Council, with the current growth rate of energy consumption, which is about 2% per year, by 2035 compared to 1998, it will double, and by 2055 it will triple. industrial production energy is one of the causes of global warming: the average air temperature is rising and, as a result, the level of the World Ocean is rising by 2 - 3 mm per year.

Slide 8

The ozone layer, which protects all living things from excessive ultraviolet radiation, is destroyed. Acid precipitation occurs in many regions of our planet, causing enormous damage to living and inanimate nature. All this testifies to the destructive global impact of many types of human technological activities on the biosphere. At the present stage of evolution, the biosphere and humanity as its component entered a period of crisis. So, for the first time in its history, mankind has become the owner of the most powerful sources of atomic energy, radiation and chemical toxicity - now, in a matter of minutes, all life on Earth can be destroyed. Fortunately, the awareness of the madness of using such sources in the traditional ways of resolving interstate conflicts - in wars - appeared before it came to the self-destruction of mankind.

Slide 9

One of the reasons for the crisis state of the biosphere is the spontaneous nature of human activity, which causes widespread pollution of the environment and disruption of the Earth's heat balance. To this should be added the depletion in the short term of raw materials vital for the development of human civilization, and the population explosion is very fast growth population with severe consequences for the biosphere.

Slide 10

At the present stage, the survival of mankind has acquired the character of a critical problem. Changes observed in nature, caused by active human intervention, testify to the unsatisfactory state of industrial and technological practice, the education system, and the decline in the moral and spiritual level of man. In this regard, many have come to the conclusion that it is necessary to create socio-economic prerequisites sustainable development society as a possible way to prevent a geoecological catastrophe.

slide 11

Philosophical vision of the future of mankind

slide 12

What awaits humanity in the future? It is believed that the answer to this question belongs to the realm of fantasy. But everything is much simpler. The answer lies in human nature. For some reason, we forgot that man is "flesh of flesh" of the animal world of the Earth. What is the main thing for him, as for any living creature on Earth - to survive. Survive at any cost, whatever the cost.

slide 13

The law of survival is the main law of life on Earth. Any action, any act of vital activity of any living creature on Earth, contrary to the law of survival, leads to the death of this creature or its species. And man is no exception. Only in the nature of the Earth does not an individual survive, but the human society - humanity - as a whole. And each person survives within the human society. In the nature of the Earth, he does not need to survive. The human society lives according to completely different laws - the laws of MIND. Completely different from the laws of existence of the rest of the living world. And a person is obliged to survive within society according to the laws of reason.

Slide 14

The whole evolution of man is subject to the law of survival. And this evolution is very easy to determine, just look at its history. It is naive to believe that man acquired all his features of "humanity" immediately, as soon as he separated from the animal world of the Earth. No, no and NO. The first thing that separated man from the rest of the animal world of the Earth was the emerging speech thinking. Man began to give sound designations to some phenomena of reality. Thanks to this, mutual understanding among people has increased and their survival in the nature of the Earth has increased.

slide 15

Then the person began to wander, to gather (roots, fruits, berries, primitive fishing and group hunting). This is the second way to survive on the human evolutionary ladder. Then he mastered agriculture, primitive crafts - the third way to survive. Then wars and robberies - the fourth way. He began to unite in nationalities and nations - the fifth way. And so on...

slide 16

And this shows us that whatever the future of humanity is, it is in our hands!

Digital Immortality Already, technologies are being developed that make it possible to digitize human consciousness. That is, transfer it to a computer. Thus, it will be possible to create a virtual personality, with the consciousness of a person who once really lived. This will be possible thanks to neurosynaptic processor chips that imitate the work of neurons and parts of the brain.

Synthetic food With the help of microorganisms (microalgae, bacteria, etc.), scientists have learned how to synthesize complete proteins with the amino acids necessary for a person from anything: from oil, its processed products and any other organic substances. Dyes and flavors are added to a mixture of proteins, fats, carbohydrates, amino acids. Perhaps in the near future we will see meat from paraffin or eggs from soy on store shelves. Meat can also be grown from animal stem cells. More

Quantum computer A quantum computer is a device that operates on the principle of superposition. That is, if an ordinary bit of information can only be in one state, or 0 or 1, then a qubit (quantum bit) can be in two positions at once. This allows you to solve problems that are unrealistic for a conventional computer and process information faster. For example, you need to find one out of a thousand numbers with known properties. A normal computer will sort through the numbers in order until it finds the right one. Quantum will process all the data at once and give the result.

Space technology Scientists predict that by 2050 an elevator to the moon will be launched. Minerals will be mined from asteroids and meteorites. Such celestial bodies may contain large amounts of ruthenium, platinum, gold, copper, iron, and other important metals. And Japan plans to launch a solar sail, which, due to our luminary, will reach speeds of up to 19 kilometers per second. More

Virtual Reality Virtual reality allows us to plunge into an unknown world. Many companies (omni, oculus rift) are developing devices that allow you to do this. Work is also being carried out in the field of augmented reality. An example is Microsoft, which created hololens glasses.

In 2013, for the first time in live London television fried and ate a hamburger made from artificially grown meat. It took biotechnologist Mark Prost about $1 to grow a piece of beef. He was supported by one of the founders of google. However, the meat had to be tinted with beetroot juice, as it had a white color. But science does not stand still. Perhaps in the coming decades there will be products that are indistinguishable from natural counterparts. Back

synthetic food. Will people agree to eat food grown in a test tube? Will virtual reality bring benefits? Will humanity plunge forever into an unknown world? What will the technologies of the future be used for? Will someone try to change the consciousness of a person, to take over the world? Only the future can answer these and many other questions.

Since the advent of the first computers, one of the main problems facing developers has been the performance of the computing system. During the development of the computer industry, processor performance has increased rapidly, but the emergence of more and more sophisticated software, the growth in the number of users and the expansion of the scope of application of computing systems impose new requirements on the power of the technology used, which led to the emergence of supercomputers.

Computer mouse of the future Toe Mouse is a kind of computer mouse that is designed for disabled people with upper limb defects. To use it, you just need to put your first two toes on it and do everything - the same as with a regular mouse on a special rug.

Computers of the Future Taiwanese scientists from the research institute Industrial Technologies (ITRI) introduced the concept of a foldable display that can double in size. An example of the use of such a display in practice is a rather stylish and functional device, the photo of which you can see on the left.

Quantum computers The supernatural world of quantum mechanics does not obey the laws of general classical physics. A quantum bit (qubit) does not exist in the typical 0 or 1 binary forms of today's computers - a quantum bit can exist in either or both systems at the same time. If you think a computer running at 4 GHz is fast, then try the computer of the future running at GHz. While there are many obstacles to overcome, new techniques are being discovered every day and new discoveries are being made. Many people think that quantum computers can become a reality within just a few 5-10 years.

Nanodot Storage - new HDD Nanodot can be 50mm wide and have north and south poles. It can respond to external changes, which makes it a prime candidate for a storage device. Today's research has shown that nanodot drives can be up to 100 times larger than existing hard drives, while taking up much less space. Nanodot Storage is just around the corner and will definitely revolutionize today's storage.

Hewlett-Packard Helps California City Make Data Access a Learning Experience Imagine a library where you can bring your computer, connect to a discreet network port, and instantly access library resources and the Internet through the same portal.

3-D printer will "print" the whole house The printer of the future works on the same principle as jet printer of the past, only building sand is used instead of toner. With the help of the invention of the Italian engineer Enrico Dini, you can pile almost anything - a house or a sculpture.

Named 5 technologies that will change the world In the future, our already dynamic world will be in a hurry somewhere even stronger. USB 3.0 standards (allows you to transfer 150 gigs of data to a USB flash drive in just 5 minutes), Wireless (new, advanced standards for wireless data transfer - ac and ad protocols - will let data “fly” through the air at speeds of 1 Gb / s), HTML5 (this technology will do away with the need to install plug-ins to play audio, video and other interactive content), home 3d, as well as "augmented reality" (this technology provides the user with information about the things he sees around) - these technologies will become in the near future "engine of progress".

Application of supercomputers The traditional scope of supercomputers has always been scientific research: plasma physics and statistical mechanics, condensed matter physics, molecular and atomic physics, elementary particle theory, gas dynamics and turbulence theory, astrophysics. In chemistry - various areas computational chemistry. A number of application areas are at the intersection of related sciences, such as chemistry and biology, and overlap with technical applications. Thus, the problems of meteorology, the study of atmospheric phenomena, and, first of all, the problem of long-term weather forecasting, for which the power of modern supercomputers is constantly not enough, are closely related to the solution of a number of the problems of physics listed above. Among the technical problems for which supercomputers are used are the tasks of the aerospace and automotive industries, nuclear power, prediction and development of mineral deposits, oil and gas. Supercomputers are traditionally used for military purposes. In addition to the obvious tasks of developing weapons of mass destruction and designing aircraft and missiles, one can mention, for example, the design of silent submarines and others. The most famous example is the American SDI program.

Home supercomputers In the traditional sense, supercomputers are large machines that occupy huge rooms and are located in special racks. These are the supercomputers that are used for scientific calculations, and their price is comparable to the budget of a small state. Meanwhile, SGI has announced a new supercomputer small enough to fit on a typical desk; this computer was called Octane III. Octane III is ready to use almost immediately after installation, it is powered from a regular outlet, it produces little noise during operation, and its large fins measure approximately 30 x 60 cm, which is comparable to the size of a conventional system unit. This machine will prove to be the ideal solution for those who need a high performance office server. A computer can contain up to 80 processor cores and 1 terabyte of RAM. In one of the available configurations, the SGI Octane III is equipped with 10 dual-socket 4-core Intel Xeon 5500 processors and NVIDIA GP graphics processors. However, at will, the array of central processors can be replaced with other processors, including chips based on the Intel Atom architecture. But the prices for Octane III start from US dollars.

Even 10-15 years ago, supercomputers were something like an elite piece of equipment, available mainly to scientists from secret nuclear centers, intelligence analysts. However, the development of ultra-high-performance hardware and software has made it possible to master the industrial production of these machines, and the number of their users currently reaches tens of thousands. In fact, today the whole world is experiencing a genuine boom in supercomputing projects, the results of which are actively used not only by such traditional consumers. high technology, as the aerospace, automotive, shipbuilding and radio-electronic industries, but also the most important areas of modern scientific knowledge.

Is there an optic nerve? A bionic eye will help. Specialists of the Second Vision company have created exactly what the name of their office promises. A bionic eye that transmits visual information to the brain will help people who have lost their sight as a result of retinal degeneration begin to see again.

A smart credit card will help you save money. A unique credit card can track the status of its owner's bank account in real time without the help of an ATM or the Internet. When the limit is exceeded, the edges of the card begin to glow blue.

The Amusity table of the future is a new creation from the creator of Pepper Knuckles and Music Blocks, Idan Arbel. It is a kind of multimedia coffee table. And your entire music and video collection will be at your fingertips. You can play music, video, as well as find out information about the artist.

Newspaper of the future In 10 years, or maybe less, progressive humanity will forget about paper newspapers - they will be replaced by electronic interactive sensory newspapers of the future. Their concept has already been presented - The Page displays text, pictures and is divided into newspaper columns familiar to us. The Page is designed to combine the advantages of print and online media. This device is as thick as a sheet of plain paper. Despite the fact that it contains a number of functions, it is as flexible as paper - it can be folded several times and slipped into a folder or pocket.

A book has been created whose characters can jump out of the pages 3D technologies penetrate all areas with enviable activity modern life. South Korean scientists have come up with a 3D book that has marks on the illustrations that are visible only to readers wearing special glasses that trigger a 3D animation.

Created the world's first machine that can sniff The electronic nose consists of 16 polymer sensors connected to a computer. The device is able to distinguish a pleasant smell from an unpleasant one. With this invention it will be possible to control food spoilage.

Transport of the future Everyone imagines the transport of the future differently- from drop-shaped transparent modules rushing along a monorail to a portable rocket. Many say that the Segway and its seated version are the transport of the future, but the creator of the eniCycle unicycle gadget does not agree with them.

The car of the future can be controlled with a glance New technology tracks the eye movements of drivers, and artificial intelligence chooses the trajectory of movement based on these readings. In general, the car of the future looks more like a robot than a vehicle we are used to.

"Flying Machine" Inventor of this unusual vehicle does not like it when his creation is called the "Flying Machine". Instead, he prefers to use the term roadable aircraft to refer to his ingenious invention. in USA. Now he and his team have developed a 5 times smaller version of the apparatus for testing in a wind tunnel. They hope to build a prototype within the next two years. The first flights of Transition aircraft are scheduled for 2010. The developers estimate the cost of the project at $150,000. In car mode, the tail of the model is removed, the bumper opens. The model has two seats, but no trunk. A two-meter car can reach the speed of ordinary cars rushing along the autobahn. The car-plane is powered by gas, which can be found at any gas station. In the air, the Transition is capable of speeds up to 190 km/h. At the same time, one container with gas is enough for 800 kilometers.

Ships of the Future It's hard to say what types of wars the future will bring, but one thing is clear: robots will be in most battles. In fact, they are already participating. Last year, unmanned aircraft ( aircrafts) hours flown compared to US military spending on unmanned aerial systems is expected to reach $3.76 billion by 2010. The war of robots, which for a long time remained the lot of science fiction writers, has now become a reality. The UXV will be able to be efficiently serviced by a minimal crew. The warships have crews of hundreds of people, the UXV will be operated by a crew of just 60 sailors, which is enough to organize a three-shift watch and additionally to service unmanned aircraft.

Conclusion

And Elon Musk, published an unusual video dedicated to the gloomy future that awaits all of us very soon. Shot in a documentary style, the video is reminiscent of the macabre television series Black Mirror, whose creators regularly tell viewers what a nightmare our lives can become thanks to high technology. This time, scientists decided to show how creepy tiny killer drones can become, endowed with which attackers can kill almost anyone, anywhere, anytime.

Relatively recently, scientists monitor the state of the human body by examining the composition of its secretions. This led to the creation of truly advanced biosensors capable of extracting a huge amount of useful information. However, what to do when a person does not sweat? For example, he is relaxed, and the ambient temperature is quite comfortable. In such cases, the technology is simply useless. But scientists from the University of Cincinnati managed to create a new generation biosensor that can provoke sweating of the skin area on which it is fixed.
