Disclosure of things that will change the face of the world and what will disappear with them, as in petroleum stations, and auto repair shops, as well as Kodak camera films. Here is a reading of the most important things that will happen in our nearby future world; 1, Auto repair shops will diminish or even disappear in some instances, as the gasoline or diesel engine presently consists of 20.000 individual parts while the electric car motor contains 20 electrical parts that are sold with a life time warranty, and are only repaired by the dealers. It only takes 10 minutes to disassemble and replace an electric motor.
Faulty electric motors are not repaired at repair shops, but are sent to a regional repair shop that fixes them using robots. The malfunction light of your car's electric motor lights up, warning you to drive to a station that looks like a car wash-station, and your car is towed while you have a cup of coffee, and it comes back with a new electric motor ready to go before you finish your beverage.
The petrol pumps will disappear as well!! Street corners have electricity distribution and charging meters, firms will install electric recharging stations, in fact they have already started in the developed world, and the new batteries are being charged within 20 minutes for a total run of more than hundreds of thousands of Kilometers equivalent to more than 200.000 miles. Major smart car manufacturers have all allocated funds to start building new factories that only produce electric cars and trucks, buses and farming equipment.
The coal industries will disappear, gasoline/oil companies will stop, the drilling and exploration of oil will cease, the major oil cartels will vanish, entire countries and regions of the world will suffer and be in trouble, Germany already announced dates to totally eliminate fossil fuel. Homes will produce and store more electrical energy during the day, use it and resell the excess to the main electric grid. The network stores and distributes them to industries with high electric consumption. Today's child will only see personal cars in museums, the future is approaching faster than most of us can imagine.
In 1998, Kodak had 170.000 employees and sold 85% of its photo paper production world wide. In a matter of few years their business model disappeared and they went bankrupt. What happened to Kodak and polaroid will happen to a lot of industries in the next 5 to 10 years, back in 1998 everyone had to have a camera, and took pictures on films, today our young don't even know what's that, smart phones totally replaced all of it.
It will happen again, and much faster. AI, health, autonomous and electric cars, education, 3D printing, agriculture and jobs, it's coming sooner than we think, we're calling it the fourth industrial revolution, software tools is disrupting all traditional industries, and a decade down the line they will take over completely. Uber is just a software tool, they don't own any car, it is now the largest taxi company in the world. Airbnb another software institution is now the largest hotel company world wide, and it doesn't own a bedroom or a pillow. Do we think any major hotel company expected this.
Artificial Intelligence and computers are advancing at an amazing speed in every aspect. IBM's Watson is taking over lawyers with more accuracy and efficiency. Watson is already helping and competing with doctors diagnose all types of illnesses with greater accuracy than human diagnosis. Face recognition devices are already replacing humans in many situations.
Self driving cars will change the way we live and commute and own cars. We will not need to park the car, just pay for the distance traveled, and you can use the time productively while the car is being driven automatically. It will change our cities, as they're will be 90-95% less cars driving around and parking, it will save lives by limiting millions of accidents around the world. Even insurance companies will suffer big time with accident rates diminishing to almost zero.
A great competition is already here between traditional car makers and companies like Tesla, Apple and Google who are building computers on wheels, call them smart electric cars. Volvo already took the decision to replace all internal combustion engines with electric or hybrid engines. Again cities will be less noisy and far less polluted, as electric engines are far more silent, emitting clean air. Cheaper real estate offices and housing, and cheaper electricity and utilities.
It will eventually hit air travel with way more efficient electric engines, and cheaper air fares, and finally with health machines that work with your phone taking your retina scan and your blood pressure and samples plus all your functions, it will Annalise all your body signals and identify nearly any decease, most hospitals and doctors might turn obsolete. Welcome to tomorrow, welcome to the real 21st century.
My, as always, usual thanks for your time following the blog, please stay safe and well.
