For 10 years, innovations have changed the world beyond recognition, and sometimes it is unclear what developments will conquer people tomorrow. This does not suit the scientists, so the researchers decided to take control of the future. Representatives of Imperial College London compiled a periodic table of technologies for the future, dividing innovations into 4 categories, depending on the time of invention. The list includes 100 important developments. In the green sector, the technologies being developed are: cryptocurrencies, unmanned cars, passenger drones. Yellow highlighted technology that will appear in 10 years: unmanned ships, autonomous robotic surgeons, 3D-printing organs. In the red sector there are technologies that are real in 20 years: implantable smartphones and direct data download to the brain. Scientists have placed unlikely inventions in gray - human cloning or head transplants.

AI and robots - in the service sector
Artificial Intelligence (AI) and robots are already a real competition to representatives of different professions: waiters, teachers and doctors should seriously think about upgrading their skills in order to save jobs.
WORKERS
Hotel business expects complete automation. In any case, the Chinese businessmen, who opened the first AI-managed hotel in Chengdu, are hoping for that. Here you will not find living employees, but you will meet robots-guards, maids, cooks, waiters. The computer welcomes guests, escorts them to the room and informs about hotel services.
And in New Zealand, artificial intelligence will replace the school teacher for the first time in the world. This role will be performed by the avatar Will, which was created by the companies Vector and Soul Machines. The teacher is a person on the screen, you can communicate with him through a PC, tablet or smartphone. Will will teach children to use energy properly: talk about renewable energy, ask questions to test knowledge. This AI has become part of a program that is offered free to schools.
But the United Kingdom has advanced most of all in innovations: there the robot surgeon must perform the first operation in 2019! Of course, a living surgeon will still manage the brainchild of Versius, using joysticks and a screen. And the robot itself, which has several “hands” with flexible joints, will be able to perform operations using the laparoscopic method. That is, the system will make small incisions on the internal organs, which will allow a person to experience less pain and recover faster.
This is far from all the use of robots and AI in the modern world: new technologies are already actively used in stores, airports, restaurants and other crowded places.
Pilotless out on the road
Abroad is actively testing autopilots. The Chinese are checking the first unmanned helicopter Xiangying-200. It is launched into mass production and will be used in rescue operations and the AIC. The length of the helicopter is 8.7 m, its height is 2.5 m. And in 2019, the Japanese want to operate the Apolong electric assembly buses of the Chinese assembly on the country's tourist routes. The transport is designed for 14 passengers, but the driver’s seat is not provided for the driver.

The shower box cleans the water, and the basket - garbage
Laziness - the engine of progress, it is known to all. It is not surprising that gadgets designed to make a person’s life more comfortable appear every day. So, Xiaomi has developed a "smart" trash can, which itself ... changes the package. A bucket 40 cm high and weighing 3.5 kg holds 15.5 liters of garbage and is equipped with a light. How does the unit work? The bucket opens the lid, "noticing" the movement, and if around it is "quiet", the basket tightly closes the lid, so the smell of waste is not felt in the room. Also, the gadget determines the degree of fullness, can pack garbage and replace the package after removing the old one. It is unclear when the gadget goes on sale, but it will cost $ 30.
There is another invention for the home among the townspeople, a shower where hot water does not run out. The device was developed by the Swede Merdad Majubi from Orbital Systems. The cabin recycles 5-10 liters, the water is cleaned as it is received. During washing up to 90% H2O is retained. Statistics are tracked through the app. The device costs $ 2500, but the developer wants to reduce the cost of technology to $ 700 in order to sell the cockpit in developing countries.

The first air car will be available
In 2019, motorists will be able to purchase the first flying Terrafugia car. This is a hybrid road vehicle that uses a propeller as a driving force. The car is equipped with a gas-electric engine. Acceleration during the flight, the parachute system, a place for passengers and baggage. Mobile flies at a speed of 161 km / h, and on the ground accelerates to 100 km / h. The price is still unknown.
The Chinese have come up with an artificial tree
The inhabitants of the Middle Kingdom are trying to save the oceans. So, researchers of the Chinese Academy of Sciences invented plastic, which is degradable in seawater for 10 days. This is possible due to the inclusion of water-soluble compounds in biodegradable polyesters. "The mixture contains radicals acting
