PBS - What Will the Future Be Like? (2012)

What Will the Future Be Like?

The technologies that will transform our lives decades from now are already taking shape in laboratories around the world. David Pogue imagines what the Tech page of The New York Times might look like 10, 20, or 30 years from today, as he meets the innovative engineers and computer scientists working to create thought-controlled video games, robotic exoskeletons, and virtual reality that seamlessly integrates with the real world. Mobile phones that read your mind? Video games that can cure cancer? Wearable robots that give you the strength of Ironman? Which technologies will transform our daily lives? These advancements are already taking shape in laboratories around the world - and gadgets that once were purely science fiction are on the verge of becoming as common as the iPhones and Androids Pogue reviews every day.
