THE FUTURE Flying vehicle will be the means of

transportation hovering over a pre-planned course directed by satellite transmission.

Vehicles will have the ability to fly and use roads simultaneously by using radar to navigate. Microchip technology and GPS systems will provide the virtual roads to avoid collisions.

Securing the carriers of these vehicles will be essential as the technology of autopilot will play a major role in the safety of the passengers and making this a reality.

THE FUTURE Robotics and Image Guided Surgery

provided us with insight on how the future of medicine will look like.

However, technology will push us to be more creative as surgeons will be able to performs surgeries with real time imaging and even without touching the patient. Robots will be fully guided to perform a pre-planned case during OR.

Organ transplant will be an obsolete option in medicine as with stem cell and tissue engineering technology, we will be able to provide patients with entire organs on demand.

THE FUTURE The recent development in communication

has made everything closer and reachable to everyone; however, we always feel that it is still not enough.

With availability of satellite space stations that can serve as a great hub to send communication across the globe, the future will rely on them and what better way to transmit data from various locations is by laser beam anywhere anytime with incredible speeds and unlimited data sizes.

With globalization and development of communication, another barrier will arise is speech communication and different languages. The future will solve this issue by being able to translate vocal messages to any spoken language threw neural transmitted messages from the brain.

THE FUTURE With 40% of resources on earth being

consumed, several substitutes are on the verge of dominating the energy field.

Solar, Wind and Water turbine will be the leading source of energy in the future which will play a major role in fueling up cities, countries and continents.

Focus on green energy will be key to preserve our earth and maintain quality of life.
