Falco's Timeline of Future History
"Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." -- Arthur C. Clarke
Onwards to 2015
We are fourteen years into the 21st century. It is no wonder why the Forbes list of rich and powerful people is dominated by tech companies and their leaders. As the world slowly becomes connected with technology, many jobs will require advanced computer knowledge. The following timeline will highlight these technology advancements and their trends.
Technology
Commercial space flights become affordable to everyday people
Voice Over Internet Protocol becomes the number one telecommunication technology because people have had enough with the pricy cell phone companies. Competing companies like Skype and WhatsApp are bought by larger corporations as they are terrified of this growing trend. Due to increases in Broadband speed and portable computers the people dump the clunky ear pieces and the fees. VOIP services start at $5 per month. A VOIP company disrupts the cell phone market. T-Mobile goes solely VOIP in the coming years.
Flash drives become obsolete as thumb drives take over. Many computers are now equipped with a single card slot because that’s all you need, as the price per gigabyte goes down to ten cents!!!
Politics
A group of “Climateers” is making news all across the globe. While the, “Global Climate Change” debate rages on they vow to not use anything that has been created by destructive force. They believe in the three basic necessities of life food, water, and shelter. They live out in the woods and attend political rallies; The Hippie comeback?
Iran has full nuclear availability, and has announced its first test date; causing tensions to rise with Russia.
2015-2020
In the next 5-10 years technology will advance even faster than it does now! Technology will make a huge impact on Geopolitics as it will literally touch every one on Earth. It will change media in ways that we cannot possibly imagine today. Clunky black technology boxes will be a thing of the past and super fast internet will become a necessity and a basic human right.
Technology
An easy to use interface between the human mind and a robot is made. AI is reality!
In other news reality shows are all but eliminated on television! As more and more people want to watch high drama shows due to the popularity of House of Cards, Breaking Bad, and True Detective, more cable channels are following this model.
Computers sales are dwindling as multi-touch tablets are finally taking over!
You still have a cell phone? Apple has secured the mobile platform industry, and has created bendable screens with OLED technology. These screens can roll up and bend backwards. With the multi-touch technology from Microsoft on your home computer you can literally move your computer onto the portable.
3DVDs become Holographic, as the technology increases and moves off the screen. The Steam video game company first incorporates the software; a “Game room” is in the works.
Fashion becomes smart. You only need to buy one outfit and the computer program associated with clothes changing technology!
A rat is teleported across a laboratory at MIT, but dies. More research is needed.
The FBI introduces its smallest crime fighters the Robotic Fly!

NASA returns to the moon to layout the plans for the world’s first lunar colony. Many people debate on the ownership of the Moon and if in fact America would claim ownership. America maintains its stand on Global peace.
China becomes a world power as it looks on the political stage soon announces a Global Revolution.
Just about half of the Cars on the road run on Hydrogen now due to the Wilson Conversion System.
Driving age is decreased to 14 due to smart roads. These roads are linked with real time data and GPS technology to help people learn how to drive, stay awake, or even sober up. GPS automatic Driving highly anticipated!
A huge category 5 hurricane rips apart the Florida coastline causing much destruction.
2020-2030
In the 2020s genetics and space will be common themes in the world. The world gets closer together and world peace becomes a huge political talking point, but that's all it is at this point. Politicians are beginning to use technology to disrupt the familiar political landscape that we know today.
Technology
Computer screens disappear as every table and wall has a “Button”. The button, when pressed turns your desk or workstation into an electronic device. The screen instantly materializes by lasers underneath. The desk is much more spacious now.
Farming is now automated as Computer run Tower greenhouses are placed in many homes and offices. Food is natural again.

As the space race continues who will be the first to go to Saturn? Russia now has a base on the moon as the population there reaches the 100 people milestone mark. Mars One prepares for the first manned mission to Mars. Pushing up it's advertising efforts, it aims to be the most watched media event in history. Competing with the death of JFK and the original 1969 Moon Landing.
A group of Anti-techs are now living in poverty declaring that the human race depends too much on technology and will ultimately lead to its destruction. Are they right?
A classified SETI project started in the 1980s to search for alien binary coded signals embedded into space radio waves have picked up a “disturbance in the silence that is space.” Are we really alone in the galaxy? The signal is weak but it definitely is a signal!
China and the EU start talking peace treaties for other nations as they debate on the possibility of world peace! The US remains silent.
2030-2040
While it may seem weird, 20 years from now the world comes together after the Mars One mission with renewed liberal tendencies. An effort to spread peace and love revitalizes many of the ideals of the 1960s. Especially since this is the second time in history that humans have stepped foot on a new world! This doesn't mean that the world is safe. Hackers are using genetics to change the world in the scariest ways imaginable.
Technology
The Binary code of the Alien language is now being understood and studied by NASA and SETI. MIT students look forward to talking with the aliens as they prepare to send a message back into space!
Mars! Mars One succeeded in it's mission as the single most watched event in human history the explorers are now well on their way to creating a new research station on the red planet. They are considered Global heroes . You will be telling your grandchildren where you were when the Mars One space shuttle lifted off.
The AI network now has the same emotional and instinctive processes as a mouse!
Virtual Reality is so incredibly life-like that many people do not even have the need to leave their homes. Shopping online and smart delivery systems make it almost unnecessary to go outside while the robot slaves fulfill our every need.
Smart media gives consumers complete control over what they want to watch, where, and with who instead of the other way around.
Universal Translators are becoming available on internet so people can talk to each other through the internet between countries online. Business meetings take place in the comfort of the home.

Africa is now connected with the Middle East through a new high tech physical bridge; next up, the US and Russia. Many people are wondering whether such a bridge is indeed needed or practical.
US, China, and EU to form a tri-national union? Some conspiracy theorists are laughing at us now as serious talks are underway to form a powerful new entity and governing system.
While the world prepares for Mars, the outer space settlers are becoming increasingly unstable. Russian bases are stealing from the US resources and vice versa. Psychologists are questioning the long term side effects of prolonged space travel
The East Asian resource wars are the solution to Global Population control debate. Millions are being killed as the resources dwindle.
2040-2050
In the 2040s, world peace is becoming a reality as Artificial intelligent machines emerge as a useful part of everyday life. Death and dying are huge talking points as the process seemingly becomes irrelevant to modern day society.
Technology
Mars base established to study possible ancient life on Mars and terraformation procedures
MIT has sent back the message to the alien life forms the message reads, “We come in peace.” It may be a long time before a reply if any comes back.

Even though the nuclear warheads were destroyed last decade research into nuclear energy did not stop. The world’s first nuclear powered homes and cars are making their way onto the commercial market. Nuclear power has already replaced electricity in larger computers and the AI network.
The death toll from the resource wars is underestimated as new numbers compute that nearly one third of the population killed each other off.
No more human troops as AI now have the capability of a young human brain. The military can easily train the “kids.” Pro-lifers are still raging on about slavery and child soldiers!
The world becomes united as the Global Community emerges.
Europe is facing a water crisis as the snow melts from their many mountains.
2050-2060
In the 2050s we see a sharp turn back towards religion and conservative ideals. The difference between conservatives in 2050 and conservatives in the early part of the 21st century is that they want the status quo to remain as is. Road cars work better than hover cars, no further space travel, don't let government interfere with the replication process (despite being created by a dictator...) are only some of their talking points.
Technology
Mars colony reaches 100th person milestone mark. Planet jumping is becoming a reality as the colonists on the moon create the moon’s first spacecraft and launch it into space!
TV is now circular! Due to advancements in OLED spherical screens for multimedia internet browsing and multi-gesture technology many people find it fun to watch TV again! The Sphere 1.0 will be available for commercial use by the end of the decade. Even though, many old TV stations are not airing anymore you can still enjoy old classics by moving the different liquid screens.
Thinktop devices have replaced the old laser screen computers and control most the house and your likeness as it is controlled by a piece of your mind. A computer chip placed in the brain hooks your mind up to this little black box!
Farming hits a new milestone after the replication process was sold into mass production the farmers have used a chemical formula mixed with the replication process to grow green grass in the desert without any need for seeds, water, or proper soil. Sahara is now a booming industrial multicultural city.

Half of the Rain Forest is destroyed as human resources dwindle. Resources are dwindling so the countries create a super power grid. It is charged by outer space solar panels and incorporates nuclear energy to and from the homes, offices, buildings etc… While the panels are located underneath the countries this allows for easy installation and no destructive forces.
Japan creates the world's first debating AI. Politics for Androids becomes reality.
A group of the last remaining Christians ban together to spread God’s words they claim that the world as we know is lost. God never intended us to make the AI system, or to enhance our bodies using technology in them. They go against the system and are now labeled as the terrorists and extremists.
2060-2070
People are now feeling the full effects of the Global Community. World governments are going through intense technological overhauls and many of the ideals from the old world are becoming obsolete.
Technology
The Rat lives! Teleportation of complex organisms a reality
Politics
Many languages are disappearing as more and more people use and study English the official language of the GC. In other news being social seems like a chore. People rarely get together unless if it is for special occasions and that rarely happens. They can just go online and think about that person and a holographic image will appear and interact with them pre-programmed by the other person.
2070-2090
Androids are becoming more and more human like in the 2070s they start having actual relationships with humans and the first human/AI is born. Causing much controversy. There are rumors that despite being passionately atheists Androids are developing a secretive religion. In the 2070s we see Africa being completely reformed and underwater/ice colonies are forming around the world due to effects from Global Warming.
Technology
Travel between the planets for a price. The privately owned space agencies are still competing with NASA as it gets further into the solar system. NASA which originally placed man on the moon is upset because these commercial spacelines are now beating them in the space race. Space real estate is booming an industry that NASA has been trying to stop for years! Now the private companies are looking to set up a hotel on Phoebes one of Mars’ moons.
Humans appear to be oblivious to the fact that Androids have indeed taken over the world. Humans are a second class citizen if they do not have some type of biotech implant. The last purebred humans are the Christian terrorists and they are constantly being hunted by the AI. AI.
Teleportation portals are now being set up in major cities and businesses.
Politics
No bridge?! Many people are upset by the fact that Canada and Russia are not being interconnected by a bridge. However, plans to connect Europe and the American continents are well underway by an underwater AI tunnel! Maglev trains will speed through the tunnel at speeds up to Mach 1.
London and New York are being flooded. The Androids prepare a subterranean real estate system.
