*Welcome to Tommorow Today*
*Odysseus Research Inputs*
*_Some Very Interesting Predictions..for 21st Century _*
*1-Auto repair* shops will disappear.
*2-A petrol/diesel* engine has 20,000 individual parts. An electrical motor has 20. Electric cars are sold with lifetime guarantees and are only repaired by dealers. It takes only 10 minutes to remove and replace an electric motor.
*3-Faulty electric* motors are not repaired in the dealership but are sent to a regional repair shop that repairs them with robots.
*4-Your electric motor* malfunction light goes on, so you drive up to what looks like a car wash, and your car is towed through while you have a cup of coffee and out comes your car with a new electric motor!
*5-Petrol pumps* will go away.
*6-Street corners* will have meters that dispense electricity. Companies will install electrical recharging stations; in fact, they’ve already started in the developed world.
*7-Smart major* auto manufacturers have already designated money to start building new plants that only build electric cars.
*8-Coal industries* will go away. Gasoline/oil companies will go away. Drilling for oil will stop. So say goodbye to OPEC! The middle-east is in trouble.
*9-Homes* will produce and store more electrical energy during the day and then they use and will sell it back to the grid. The grid stores it and dispenses it to industries that are high electricity users. Has anybody seen the Tesla roof?
*10-A baby of today* will only see personal cars in museums. The FUTURE is approaching faster than most of us can handle.
*11-In 1998,* Kodak had 170,000 em- ployees and sold 85% of all photo paper worldwide. Within just a few years, their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. Who would have thought of that ever happening?
*12-What happened* to Kodak and Polaroid will happen in a lot of industries in the next 5-10 years … and most people don't see it coming.
*13-Did you think* in 1998 that 3 years later, you would never take pictures on film again? With today’s smart phones, who even has a camera these days?
*14-Yet digital* cameras were invented in 1975. The first ones only had 10,000 pixels, but followed Moore's law. So as with all exponential tech- nologies, it was a disappointment for a time, before it became way superior and became mainstream in only a few short years.
*15-It will now happen* again (but much faster) with Artificial Intelligence, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture and jobs.
*16-Forget the book,* “Future Shock”, welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution.
*17-Software* has disrupted and will continue to disrupt most traditional industries in the next 5-10 years.
*18-UBER* is just a software tool, they don't own any cars, and are now the biggest taxi company in the world! Ask any taxi driver if they saw that coming.
*19-Airbnb* is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don't own any properties. Ask Hilton Hotels if they saw that coming.
*20-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.
*21-In the USA,* young lawyers already don't get jobs. Because of IBM's Watson, you can get legal advice (so far for right now, the basic stuff) within seconds, with 90% accuracy compared with 70% accuracy when done by humans. So, if you study law, stop immediately. There will be 90% fewer lawyers in the future, (what a thought!) only omniscient specialists will remain.
*22-Watson* already helps nurses diagnosing cancer, its 4 times more accurate than human nurses.
*23-Facebook* now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. In 2030, computers will become more intelligent than humans.
*24-Autonomous cars:* In 2018 the first self-driving cars are already here. In the next 2 years, the entire industry will start to be disrupted. You won't want to own a car anymore as you will call a car with your phone, it will sh
