Random Predictions for 2060 : Sal's random predictions for the year 2060
相關課程
- In the last video, I've mentioned how I've been asked
- to make predicitons for the year 2060. In the last one
- I've focused on education, that's obviously what I'm
- working on now, and I have some opinions on that. But
- what I want to do in this video is do
- slightly more broad and wild predictions, and my one
- prediction I'll make is on probably not
- going to predict the real reality of 2060 and the
- probably big things to predict, I will completely
- miss. But with that out of the way,
- it's fun to predict things, so let's give it a shot.
- So the first area that I will predict is what is
- going to happen in the field of medicine.
- And in particular I think that the human life
- span is going to increase dramatically.
- So, I'll be conservative, and say that the lifespan
- is going to be, especially in the developed world
- and hopefully by the year 2060 most of the world
- is developed, the average human lifespan is going
- to be over one hundred years old. And I won't
- say whether that's going to be a good or a bad
- thing. There's arguments either way about the
- proper way to live and what happens to global
- populations..But if the world is for the most part
- developed and educated you actually
- will probably have a lower rate of reproduction
- and so you might actually have some space in the
- world for older people. But this I has a very
- strong change of happening. Because we are starting
- to understand the molecular basis of aging. It's
- not a given thing that because of some form of wear
- and tear things have to die have to die after 70
- years or 80 years or 90 years. And we are starting
- to understand the mechanisms and how to maybe
- improve the repair mechanisms or how to augment
- it in some way. So I definietly think this is
- going to happen. I don't know if it's going to
- be a positive or a negative, but it's likely to
- happen. The next thing, and this is still kind
