Came across an article and have picked some of it out
Artificial Intelligence:* Computers become exponentially better in understanding the world.* This year, a computer beat the best Go player in the world,10 years earlier than expected.In the U.S., young lawyers already can't get jobs.* Because of IBM Watson, you can get legal advice (so far for more or less basic stuff) within seconds,with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans. Watson already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, 4 times more accurately*than human nurses.
Autonomous cars: In 2018 the first self-driving cars will appear for the public.* Around 2020, the complete industry will start to be disrupted.
You don't want to own a car anymore.* You will call a car with your phone, it will show up at your location and drive you to your destination. You will not need to park it;*you only pay for the driven distance and you can be productive while driving.* Our kids will never get a driver's license and will never own a car.
It will change the cities, because we will need 90-95%*fewer*cars for that.* We can transform former parking spaces into parks.
Agriculture:* There will be a $100 agricultural robot in the future. Farmers in 3rd world countries can then become managers of their fields*instead of working all day*in their fields.
Aeroponics will need much less water.* The first Petri dish that produced veal is now available and will be cheaper than cow produced veal in 2018.
now, 30% of all agricultural surface is used for cows.* Imagine if we don't need that space anymore!
There are several startups who will bring insect protein to the market shortly. It contains more protein than meat.
It will be labeled as "alternative protein source" (because most people still reject the idea of eating insects).
Business opportunities: If it doesn't work with your phone, forget the idea.***Any idea designed for success in the 20th century is doomed to failure in the 21st century.
MY question is with all the changes forecasted "Who will do the weeding in my garden"
