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.
this movie has terrible cgi wth is the dolphin looked like my best kostas peanut butter jar. The plot was very lackluster and the grandpa looked like he had 20 different of STDs. How is there house still brick if everyone elses house is futuristic. the robots make me very horny which is not realistic too robots. You have gotme humping my robotic toaster -vasilios baird
The fact that this was made in 2007 really amazes me. It is only 2021 and we have come such a long way with things such as self driving cars. I believe that by the time we reach 2057 we would have accomplished a lot of goals in this video and I am very excited for it!
I think the thing that most interested me were the holograms. They are like the stereotypical sci-fi movie scenes you see. The other stuff, like face recognition and self driving cars already exist. Recent models of phones have face recognition, and Tesla already has self driving cars.
truly creepy
Political correctness cannot be programmed into an AI computer. After years of preparation, Microsoft had to pull the plug on Tay (an AI bot) after just 12 hours. More of your world is "make believe" than you may know and AI does not make belief. What I'm saying is; an AI future will not be a kind one to all people.
Very chunky, tasty and hairy, the video looked like a monkey!!!!!!!
"how will we wage war?" If that's still a question in 2057 then more than likely we won't make to 2057.
is the sub-title of this doc,
"Presuming our species survives?"
At 03.55 min it is La dama de Elche. Prehistoric spanish statue. Not an ancient egytian statue. St*pid narrator.
They got something wrong at the end... they would be arrested and interrogated at the very least.
2057 and the old guy is still wearing spectacles!!!!
that robot in existence today can learn independently to achieve goals. it can think and can change its decision based on the changing situation. when do robots get to the point when they learn they don't have to take orders anymore??? everything electrical will be 'linked up', we are the only ones telling them to do as we say. machines being able to independently communicate with missile systems... it will literally be some terminator sh*t the day that happens. self awareness grows ever closer.
Watching the asimo today compared of what he was in 2007 shows how fast things are moving :)
This was really entertaining! Kinda like a syfy movie, better than many hollyweird movies!
I love the fact that so few people can play concect the dot's , and yes war is a must a built in self control .
Take 56 million that died in the last war most of whom are the young healthy male and female breeding stock and remove them = another 1.3 billion today ,give or take.
Good or not it is how we keep our numbers down , we look at every thing in good and bad , black and white .
Nature just is not like that and we are part of nature , even if you think god made us , we still breath the air and eat the food of this world and that make's us one and part of if it.
We are growing and learning to mimic what nature is showing us and building on it, take the robot it's look's like it's made from old car part's so that is how it will move .
If a replacement hip joint was made to the same shape as the organic one it will work the same way , the answers are in front of us we just have to look !
Oh and when did this become a dating site for SI's
Watched the first 5 minutes, I already knew they were going to talk about video games. Yes, let's have our children spend hours on end playing video games. That's the future. It's a r*tarded future where people spend more time indoors virtually doing what they could actually be doing outdoors. That's it, I will become a hermit if that's our future.
What's up with people and flying cars? We will never have that. I mean, it would be easier AND cheaper if they placed a helicopter on the driveways of every American home. Now that should be the aim of the future. People can then fly to work. How cool would that be?
I'm sure many of the cynics here are only picking apart this documentary in lieu of previous cynics to have posted. You're all just clinging to the ranting, point-out-the-obvious ***** whom you view as being stronger than everyone else, simply because they're so aggressive. Let's not be such weak, pathetic ****** and enjoy something for once, eh? Just once can I read someones opinion and expect someone to say something interesting? Oh yes, congrats, you've turned me into a ranting *****....Thanks.
Year - 2100
Time - 0730 Am
You wake up by the alarm clock, a piece of technology that has been around for over 150 years.
You stand and go to the shower, which automatically switches on as soon as you step inside, the water temp is the same from your previous shower, the shower and all running water facilities are controlled via a home mainframe, located in a hidden wall panel in your house somewhere.
Instead of exiting the shower and drying your self with a towel, the water stops after a set amount of time, which you programmed it to do weeks or years before this individual day, you stay in the shower and a worm blanket of air is blown on to your naked wet body from all sides via tiny pin holes.
Your dry in seconds, you now exit the shower and stand at the sink, you pick up your tooth brush and brush your teeth, using the water from the fountain spray next to your basin to rinse your mouth out.
You get dressed manually in your bedroom and walk down stairs, as you do you say “home morning activation”, quietly if you wish and all your blinds, curtains in every room of your house opens up, the computer will be in morning mode.
Your 80” colour HD 3D Television in the lounge, mounted within the wall above your fake fire place switches on to the channel you programmed weeks or years before, for it to whow during mornings.
Plus any over night phone messages, emails and faxes will automatically come up on several monitors throughout your house, next to light switches perhaps or else where.
As you enter the kitchen, if the morning light is not yet light enough, the lights overhead will come on, but only to a dim but still see able brightness, allowing you to see your way around the room.
You then click on the coffee machine or the all-in-one tea maker (which unfortunately is still manual operated), then go to the lounge where a computer animated voice will ask you “do you wish to watch television or sort out your email and other messages”, lets say you say TV, you sit on the chair or sofa and watch it.
You have to get your own mug and poor out your own coffee or tea then go to the lounge or dinning room which also has a television.
After drinking you see that its nearly time for work and grab your coat etc and exit your house, no keys required, just wall out of your house, closing or leaving your front door open, it does not matter.
The house mainframe computer will wait for a few seconds, before switching off any appliances that are no longer being used, inc the television, plus it will switch off any lights left on and lock all windows and doors, inc closing windows that where left open by you if any.
It will switch on the motion sensors around your house and the visitors-video recoding Camera at the front door, ready to film and record anyone arriving at your home when your at work.
You walk to your car in your drive way or on the road, you get inside it, then type in a code in the keyboard in front of you (mounted upon the dash board) and upon the windscreen comes an 3D image of locations you have been or want to go soon, all pre-programmed by you days or weeks earlier.
You hover your finger over the location of your choice, I.e., Work, and the car starts up and starts driving on its own.
There’s no steering wheel, pedals or even a gear stick, as your car is totally automated.
The seat your in twirls around so your facing the rear of the car and any passengers you may have.
If there’s no passengers, you can watch live Digital television on the back black window of your car, changing channels by using a remote on the arm of your seat.
The car will drive on to the highway / motorway where thousands of other automated cars and trucks are travelling, there’s no such thing as car accidents or traffic jams, as these vericals talk to each other, allowing each to slow down, over take and follow one another without human interference.
There’s not been an car accident on the roads for over 50 years since automated cars came in to existence, when before they came about, over 4,000 people lost their lives in car accidents each year.
Your fully automated car will get you to your work, park it self in an free space or its own space and open the door.
Instead of running on flammable fuel, it runs on electricity via Diopothium Batteries, which are about ten times more stronger than any car battery of yesteryears.
You get out and the car will lock it self, turn off any TV or keyboard images you may have left on.
As you enter work, you go to the reception and sign in either by pen or by voice commands, i.e., “Mr X has arrived”, then you go on about your business.
"What will tomorrows wars be about?" That's real uplifting. Is this one of those ways in which we're supposed to accept that there will never be an end to war? If I'm the only one who noticed this........God help us all
Ah Yes, the ability to track any citizen ... anywhere and 24 hours a day. And they said Big Brother was just a conspiracy theory?
Funny thing is, there were videos like this in the 80's about how it would be in year 2000... Here we are in 2011 and nothing has changed much, yeah sure, we got a few nice gadgets, ipods,phones, laptops, flat screen tv... But over all things are the same.. Videos like these are dumb.
the technology used in this film is closer to around 100 years from now than 50, simply because our corporations are buying out the patents and the funding is not there
i love these documentries .. but have not good command in english .. can u guys dub these documentries in urdu language ?
