Future technologies arriving by 2030 – For the majority of human life, the progress witnessed has been relatively slow. In the 21st century, however, obviously this is no longer true. It all comes down to the fact that the rate of technological advancement grows exponentially.

Futurist, Ray Kurzweil, predicts that in our lifetime, we will actually experience 20,000 years of progress, based on how fast technology is multiplying, creeping and crawling into nearly every facet of human life. Less than 25 years ago, mobile phones were not even on the market – and yet, look how much these devices have transformed the way that we, as humans, live. These little things are multiplying five times faster than us, too.
Nevertheless, it is an understatement to say that the year of 2030, only fourteen years away, will look much different than the world in which we live today. In fact, in the next twenty years alone, we will experience more change than in all of human history.
In a condensed version, computers are predicted to be everywhere, from fashion accessories to body parts – but you won’t be able to detect them. The average person will have several packages delivered by flying drones each week and we will all be printing out our dinners with a 3D printer. What do cyborgs eat, anyway? 10 percent of cars on the road will be driverless by 2026, at least in the United States. We will all be spending our down time on an activity that hasn’t even been developed yet. Now, proceed with caution, to your future.
10. Robots Designed to Kill
Another prediction for the year 2033 and one we can basically count on happening is the anonymous robot. In fact, we already have some forms of anonymous robots in society as it is (patriot missiles, for example). The Korean DMZ uses something even closer to a traditional-looking robot with their sentry guard robots. The key difference is that these robots are under the control of humans. The autonomous robots of 2033 will not be. While these robots could certainly spare a lot of human life, the fact that they will identify targets and kill them without any human input, is somewhat of a scary thought.
