Sometimes it is not necessary to go to fortunetellers and learn how to open tarot cards in order to find out the future. In some cases, the events that await humanity in the coming years can be learned from people who make hypotheses based on real facts.
Netizens came to this conclusion after the coronavirus epidemic, which first appeared in 2020 and predicted in 2015 by Bill Gates, one of the most famous visionaries, by the way. “If anything is capable of destroying more than 10 million people in the next decades, it will most likely not be war, but a particularly dangerous virus. Microbes, not rockets,” he said during a TED Talk at the time. It was this statement that led to Bill Gates being later thought to be involved in the creation of the virus in the lab, but it’s not about that now.
Gates isn’t the only one with “supernatural” powers to predict the future. We tell you who other than visionaries have told you what awaits humanity. And for good reason – today is Russian Science Day.
Elon Musk: From the invention of a robot to mass migration to Mars
First indigenous humanoid robot
Elon Musk was one of those who prophesied that robots would appear in people’s daily lives. According to him, they will have to take on routine tasks and solve everyday tasks in each house. That’s why, in 2021, Musk announced a new invention of the Tesla Bot, a native humanoid robot that can “move in a human-oriented world and solve dangerous, repetitive and monotonous tasks.”
The robot, which will look like a human, weigh 57 kg and be 173 cm tall, will replace its face with the screen, and its senses will be replaced by eight video cameras and sensors. With the help of electromechanical drives, it will be able to move at speeds of up to 8 km / h, lift up to 68 kg from the ground and hold up to 5 kg by extending an arm “similar to human development.” According to the entrepreneur, the Tesla Bot will find application in areas where human labor has traditionally been used.
Journey to Mars
“I’m incredibly sorry if we can’t move freely among the stars and become an interplanetary species in the future,” Elon Musk said in 2014. For this reason, SpaceX, the company that develops space technology until 2024, will go to Mars. And although the first rocket is planned to be launched without a crew, the first people will be delivered immediately after the test flight. The rocket has the capacity to carry up to 100 people. Musk is confident that if international unrest begins, only those who fly into space can escape.
Bill Gates: From Social Media to Ecological Virus
Personal pages on the Internet
Of course, now it is difficult to imagine the Internet without social networks. However, in 1999, only Bill Gates knew that it would be possible to create private pages in the public domain. “Personal web pages for your friends and family members will become the norm. They will allow you to correspond and plan events. By the way, there were still five years before Facebook came into being.
natural origin epidemic
Last year, one visionary predicted that a new and worse epidemic would emerge that could begin as early as the next 20 years. However, according to him, the emerging virus this time will be of natural origin. And it’s all about the ecological crisis, nothing more. Gates predicts that if scientists around the world fail to address this problem, by 2100 the death rate from rising temperatures on Earth will be five times higher than the death rate from coronavirus (14 deaths per 100,000 versus 73 deaths per 100,000).
Mark Zuckerberg: The power of remote working and body diagnostics without leaving home
remote work format
In June 2021, the CEO of Facebook* announced that it would allow all full-time employees to work from home if they could perform their duties remotely. While the company initially had a stricter policy on working remotely, now Zuckerberg is making hybrid offices with the option to work remotely.
Overall, even Zuckerberg himself liked the remote experience: “I’ve found that working remotely gives me more opportunities for long-term thinking and helps me spend more time with my family, which has made me happier and more productive at work.”
mobile clinic
Can you imagine that in the future you will not have to go to the clinic to do a medical examination? Zuckerberg is confident that by 2040, every home will have a device that measures blood pressure, independently performs tests and sends them to the attending physician.
