Interesting but scary Predictions for the Future (Part 2)
In 1980, Kodak had 170k employees worldwide & sold 85% of all film-rolls across the world.
Within just a few decades, their business model crashed & Kodak went bankrupt. Who would have thought of that ever happening ??

What happened to Kodak & Polaroid will happen to a lot of industries in the next 5-10 years & most don't see them coming.
Did you think in 2000 that five years later you would never take pictures using film again? With today’s smart phones, who owns a Camera these days ??

Digital Cameras* were invented around 1975. The initial models only had clarity/resolution of 10,000 pixels, but improved vastly following Moore's laws, as it happens with all futuristic technologies
It will now happen again (but much faster) with #AI Medical Diagnostics, Autonomous Electric cars, Online education, 3D Printing, Hydroponic Agriculture will change the world, beyond imagination.
Forget the old book Future Shock, Welcome to the 4th Industrial Revolution.
Artificial Intelligence, Robotics and 3D Printing have already disrupted and will continue to disrupt most traditional Manufacturing industries in the next ten years.

UBER is just a software company, they don't own any cars and Uber is now the biggest taxi company in the world. Ask any taxi driver if any of them, saw that coming.
AirBnB is now the biggest hotel company in the world, although they don't own any hotel properties. Ask Hilton or Meridian Hotels if they saw that coming.
#ArtificialIntelligence - Computers will become exponentially powerful & more accurate in understanding all facets of the world. This year, a computer beat the best Go-player in the world, 10 years earlier than expected.
In the USA, young lawyers already don't get jobs easily.
Because of IBM's Watson, you can get legal advice.
Facebook now has a pattern recognition software that can recognize faces better than humans. In 2030, computers will become far more intelligent than humans.

#Autonomouscars - In 2020 several models of self-driving cars are already launched. In the next 5 years, the entire industry will be disrupted. You don't need to own a car anymore as you will call a car and it will show up at your location and will drive you to your destination.
This will change our cities* because we will need 90% fewer cars. We can transform parking spaces into green parks.
About 1.2 million people die each year in car accidents worldwide including distracted drivers or due to drunk driving. We now have one accident for every 60,000 miles of driving. With Autonomous driving will probably drop to 1 accident in 6 million miles of driving saving lives!
Look at what Volvo is doing right now. No more Internal Combustion Engines in their Cars starting with the year 2025, using mostly Electric Motors, with the intent of phasing out Hybrid models.
Engineers from Mercedes, BMW, Volkswagen and Audi are completely terrified of Tesla.
Look at all the global companies offering Electric vehicles. They were unheard of, only a few years ago.

Insurance companies will have massive trouble. Without many road accidents, the Insurance Premiums will crash. The car insurance business will taper down with the passage of time.
Real Estate Business models will undergo drastic change. Because if you can work on your Laptop while you commute, people will abandon their down-town apartments, to move far away to more beautiful and affordable neighbourhoods in distant suburbs.
Electric cars will become mainstream by 2040. Cities will be less noisy because all new cars will run mostly on Batteries.
Cities will have much cleaner Ambient atmosphere, with no pollution. And clean air as well.
Renewable Power will become cheap, apart from being clean.

Solar power production has been on an exponential growth-curve for the last 30 years, but you can now see the burgeoning impact. And it’s just getting ramped up with the price of Solar Power( per Kilo-Watt-Hour) falling down every year.
Fossil Energy in trouble Tech companies are trying new methods to limit access to the power grid, to prevent competition from low-cost home-based solar installations.
Health: There will be Tech companies which will build Medical devices that work on your Mobile phone, which can take your Retina scan, your blood sample and you breath into it.
Then, they will analyse Bio-markers that will identify nearly any Disease. There will be dozens of Mobile phone apps for Medical Diagnostics.
WELCOME TO TOMORROW'S WORLD!!
