Michio Kaku: When making predictions, I have two criteria: the laws of physics must be obeyed and prototypes must exist that demonstrate “proof of principle.” I’ve interviewed more than 300 of the world’s top scientists, and many allowed me into laboratories where they are inventing the future. Their accomplishments and dreams are eye-opening. From my conversations with them, here’s a glimpse of what to expect in the coming decades:

1.     Computers Will Disappear

2.     Augmented Reality Will Be Everyday Reality

3.     The Brain-Net Will Augment the Internet

4.     Capitalism Will Be Perfected

5.     Robots Will Be Commonplace

6.     Aged Body Parts Will Be Replaced

7.     Parents Will Design Their Offspring based on Genomics

8.     Cybermedicine Will Extend Lives

9.     Dictators Will Be Big Losers

10.   Intellectual Capitalism Will Replace Commodity Capitalism
