Humans In 1,000 years - What Will We Be Like?
- 5 years ago
Considering today’s technological advancements it’s really interesting to think about the future. How will humanity be different in 1,000 years? Scientists did an interesting project about answering this question and they discovered 7 mind boggling biological changes the future generations will have. Here they are-
Scientists predict we’ll be taller, skinnier and our faces will be perfectly symmetrical from left to right following a golden ratio.
Scientists predict we may develop a whole new eye color: Red Eyes!
The average lifespan of a human being will be more than 120 years.
Sun protection will be an evolutionary advantage so we may develop darker skin.
With advancements in science and medicine we’ll be stronger and healthier.
Scientists say that humans will most likely integrate nano bots in their biological systems which will enhance their biological abilities.
Due to climate change, radiation and warfare, scientists say humans might very well have genetic mutations that give them superhuman abilities.
About 10,000 years ago, humans evolved a tolerance to cow's milk; over the past 150 years, we've added 10 centimetres to our average height; and over the past 65 years, we've added 20 years to the average lifespan, mostly thanks to advances in science. We've come so far in such an incredibly short period of time, so what will we look like in another 1,000 years? First off, we humans have a reason to be as smug as we are - our brains are so good, even the most advanced computer system doesn't even come close. In fact, last year researchers used the K computer in Japan - one of the most powerful computers in the world - to simulate human brain activity, and it took 705,024 processor cores, 1.4 million GB of RAM, and 40 minutes to process the same amount of data processed by 1 second of brain activity. But we might not always have an edge over the machines we create.
Scientists predict that in the future, computers will not only match the computational speed of the human brain, we'll also develop artificial intelligence that can speak, interact, listen, and remember. Let's just hope they don't use all that information to turn against us.
And as computers grow progressively more human, so too will humans become more integrated with robots. In the future, scientists predict that we'll have minuscule robots called nanobots swimming around our bodies and enhancing our natural abilities. Known as transhumanism, this could see us no longer limited to what biology can be achieved, and the possibilities of that are pretty incredible to think about.
