So far, we have read about inventions like the telephone and how Alexander Graham Bell is credited with one of the most important and life-changing innovations in history. Suddenly, people from long distances did not have to travel or send a letter, which took a long time. They could instantly connect with each other. Later, came other inventions like the radio and the television, which expanded media innovations with LIVE reporters, so we can see things happening AS THEY WERE HAPPENING.Most of us carry mobile phones in our pockets, coupled with the internet, and I think we're still quite amazed at how these innovations have changed our lives, and it is even hard to imagine our lives now without it.
So... what happens next? In the next 20 years, what do you think could be the most important new innovation? What do we desperately need (or want?) that could change the world... again?

In my opinion, there will be a new innovation for health in the next 20 years. The reason is because nowadays, there are many diseases that cannot cure for humans such as cancer or aids. Immediately, many scientists just found the way to keep the patients life as long as they can, but there is no scientists who find the way to save the patients life. If scientists can answer and create the way for this problem, human's life will be longer than nowadays. This is why I think that health innovation will come out in the next several decades.

This is a good comment. Just in the last 30 years, life expectancy for most people was about 73 years old. It is now about 85. It is really amazing how we are living longer and healthier lives because of new knowledge about health.
DeleteIn my perspective I think that there might be a new innovation for food consumption. Scientists might come out with an idea of including all the nutrition in one capsule. Instead of letting people eat their meals in a balanced diet, they can just consume one capsule and no longer have to control or be careful of about their food. I think this innovation would be a really significant one since people's health issues have been rising high in these few years. It would help solve problems and make life easier for all of us. Therefore this would be a major change to the World.

This should hurt the restaurant industry... I wonder if we are appreciating food less that we used to.
DeleteI think that in the next 20 years, new sources of energy will be found. As of now, we are able to generate electricity using natural resources such as hydroelectric or solar power. Some countries also manufacture cars which runs on electricity instead of petrol.Thus,in the future I think that there will be new innovations for producing energy.

This seems to be one our most urgent needs as we become more aware of our harm to the planet and that our resources are limited.
DeleteIn the next two decades, I think that there are many innovations will create for humans' better life, such as the environmental technology. According to the environment situation currently, our world faces with many problems , especially global warming which cause of many natural disasters that much more severe every year. Therefore, many scientists try to save the world for survival of creatures in the future. For instance, providing more renewable energy such as solar and wind energy instead of fossil fuels because these energy release less emission or not emit any harmful gases, environmental friendly ,and also they are infinity fuel. Scientists and governments are also helping each other to extend renewable energy to be more efficient, cost valuable , and campaigning people to use it instead of fossil fuels.
ReplyDeleteAll in all, in the next 20 years, many scientists are developing renewable energy to be more efficiency and cleaner for better environment which can save our world directly.

As the world population grows and our resources disappear, this seems necessary for our survival.
DeleteWho knows what will happen or change in the next 20 years from now on? We cannot predict that things are going to develop in what ways such as mobile phones. In the past, cellphones were just the technology that was phone, but now they are much more than the word “phones”. Technology like mobile phones is developing very fast because even from then until now, it can be developed at this stage and what about in the future?. The innovation in the next 20 years is that people may design and create their own style of mobile functions that are suitable for their lifestyle or their jobs. We may see the material that is flexible and desirability metamorphose that makes livelihood become more comfortable. Thus, the innovations of mobile phones are going to develop in new design, new material, and new capability.

I think you're right... there seems to be very little that the phone cannot do. It will be necessary to have one... not just a luxury.
DeleteCurrently, Humans create a lot of machines for their convenience. Unsurprisingly, a number of employees now decrease continuously, and they use machines as robots instead. In my perspective, in the next 20 years there might not be hiring any employees and be replaced by robots. This is because robots are able to work precisely and also there have not to pay salary. In the other word, robots are more practical than humans. As a result, several people will be unemployed.

And it will require needs for higher and more specialized education as well... People will need to compete for less jobs. You're thinking in the right way.
DeleteWhen I was a child, I and my family traveled many times by car for a long distance. I used to think that one day we will travel by special tools that take us from one place to another in less than a second because I was tried of being in a car for a long time. Why am I thinking like that? because at that time, I played a lot of computer games. Many computer games have special feature such as teleport which can move the character to other town for a very short amount of time. It's sound impossible for this to happen in the next 20 years, but we never know. Because technology has been developed so fast in the past decade, the real teleport might happen.

Often things like games, movies, and books show us the future. The ideas start there first.
DeleteIn my view point, technologies or innovation will be evolved definitely in the next 20 years for meeting the demand of people. However, the new innovation that may be the most significant for the year to come is about disaster prevention and warning. Nowadays, there are many disasters such as flooding, storm and earthquake that often occur in many parts of our world. Therefore, if inventor can create technologies that are able to warn before the terrible incidents would happen then people who stay around those areas will have more time for escaping. Finally, it is can be the important invention that every country requires.

This is a good comment. We may not be able to control or improve the environment... but just know what it is going to do before it does it.
