2057: The City of the Future
What would you see and experience if the clocks rolled forward 50 years? In a unique blend of drama and science, this three-part series shows you the world of tomorrow. Will we have flying cars? Will advances in medicine help us stay young forever? What about “printing” custom-made vital organs? What will our cities look like? What will tomorrow’s wars be about? Will we have robots helping around the house? Will solar power be the new oil?
Supported by the world’s leading scientists and research institutes, we embark on a quest to answer some of society’s most fundamental questions and reveal the dramas of tomorrow’s world along the way. State-of-the-art computer graphics in combination with a dynamic story line will create a world usually only seen in feature films, but with the accuracy and relevance of a documentary. This series is all about opening the window of our future based on science fact, not science fiction.

Apparently the biggest threat to the future isn’t out-of-control technology, but 13-year-old boys.
mario i think this technology is fantastic for the citeis of the future i just to be a live wen is going to hapen.
scary stuff
Oh great. In the future a computer follows EVERYTHING you do. Infact, you don’t even have to think anymore. The computer does that too. Creepy creepy future. Lets hope it doesn’t get like this.
Very much agreed, Danby. No more freedom.
im lazy. hurry up and start thinking for me computers!!
I wonder who wrote the script? Especially what is the prediction for the family values. Georgina with no evidence announced her father to be responsible … and have you notice they have been distributing firearms to find him? It is a bit puzzling.
The other future prediction is the only profession not taken over by mega computer is the policeman. How come they will be still allowed to commit human errors?
Have you also noticed how pretty the future cities will look like? Concrete with plastic surveyed from everywhere. I have seen it already. Inside all modern prisons. How about some architecture combined with nature? How about good standards of living?
Have you noticed that the current trend for the population to be decreasing is taken as granted? And the PROMISE that it will end the housing and job deficiencies problems?
Somehow nowadays there are ppl alarming about the current events that in their opinions will result with such world with such new order as portrayed.
This is disturbing! Science’s main goal is not to make life really easy so that our lazy lifestyle will get worse. I don’t want a future where everyone will get corrupted by convenience, where computers will, if not do the thinking for us, make it easier, where we will get excessively dependent on technology to the point that our creativity and resourcefulness will disappear.
Routines will make us lose our freewill.We will be slaves to comfort. And this kind of life is not worth living.
It’s nice tho that you put this docu here. Without this I couldn’t have seen the foolishness of people, tryin to predict the future.
Anyway, Michio Kakku is not only a brilliant scientist, but is also a good commentator.So even if the docu sucks, I don’t regret watching.
Thanks again Vlatco!
cars controlled by some other guys???this is more like good technology given to slaves!!
Those actors were god awful, plus why would any kid want a ******** halogaphic shark for a friend.
Clearly this is the way it will turn out if we want to be scanned and tracked by the government and corporations. I’m sorry this isn’t freedom, this is a controlled city designed to supposedly protect you from terrorists but ultimately will kill any privacy and rights you have. Technology has no purpose spying on people and tracking their every move and have control over you. This is not how the future city should turn out. Future cities should be designed to provide distribution systems that provide resources to everyone. Just like any piece of technology it can be used for good or for bad. In this case, tracking people is a bad use of technology. I understand if its used in a way in which a car needs to know how to manipulate roads and this is a good use of technology but people aren’t cattle and shouldn’t be treated as such. I’m tired of hearing the terrorist mumbo jumbo to try and protect us. They pride Britain for having cameras everywhere to protect people but fail to see the root causes of the problems and instead, try and fix the symptoms of the problems.
Your already being followed, your car and cell have GPS. This video will be laughable before 2057 just like those 1950′s or 60′s vision of the future for 1999!! LOL, you can’t predict the future more than a few years due to technological changes and a viriety of other variables.
Whatever technical or scientific progress is made becomes irrelevant in predicting the future if social changes are left out of consideration.
In other words, what this movie seems to suggest is that social values, and our present day social and political systems remain largely unchanged. Which can absolutely not be the case for the future if we consider what is going on in the world right now. A massive change is upon us. Right now.
no thanks id rather drive my vett or my caddy, or maby i wont because i got a dui so now i can get freally drunk and not worry about driving.lol
I guess the human has been thinking about technological development since a several years.
According with the video, in medical issues, scientists have been working to make artificial organs and in other important issues.
So, the beginning of time, the human has thought about improve our quality of life. The technological discoveries have changed the human life and have changed the World, mainly after the Industrial Revolution.
Consequently, we can imagine more new things, just to make life easier and more comfortable.
But, have been scientists thinking about the future and save the Nature at the same time? We have to live with respect to all kind of life; we can not live with out the Nature.
In fact, after the Industrial Revolution, the air pollution has increased so overwhelming and unimaginable. Today it is uncontrollable for the most powerful countries and every day we see more natural phenomena that affect humanity and devastate our planet.

This website is really a treasure site for knowledge seekers. A great collection of really TOP documentaries upon a variety of subjects is a great service to humanity. I’ve always been curious about future like majority of others. This movie is also one of my favorites like so many other great movies at this great website. Bravo, Great job.
It’s a great documentary but I wonder if the police really still use P90 submachine guns that are also hacked in half and with clips removed in 2057?
But seriously, I don’t like the way this documentary is showing the overwhelming control over citizens and their lives as a good thing. “This is your future, obey and submit”.
Everything shown in this clip will be possible at some point but it is up to us take action now to stop our reduction into worthless labor and consumers. The transition is already under way and way too many people are not paying attention. At some point the great AI will overpower it’s creators simply because humans have submitted everything to it. We are too lazy and “perfectionists” and think there is no room for learning through error. Human will create a new god it is forced to worship because it literally controls every aspect of life.
We are voluntarily registering ourselves into vast social networking sites that encourage us to publish our lives to everyone willing to watch. The biggest one has 500 million users. Think about it, at some point whole countries will be registered. Remove your face and real information from the internet. The next step will be 24/7 lifecasting which is already in use by few ****** who don’t understand the full concept. Start using proxies and TOR to conceal your movement in the net.
People have a right for privacy and anonymity, especially those with nothing to hide.
Anybody else want to kill Paul?
Otherwise an interesting documentary
