The department of transportation of the future. Transportation will be dramatically different in ten years. To adapt, public entities and stakeholders must act today. In ten years, transportation in the United States will look far different than it does now. Already, vehicle-sharing and electrification are widespread; and autonomous vehicles (AVs) and the Internet of Things are poised to make even bigger waves. Physical infrastructure will evolve to reflect this. These changes are imminent—and they have sweeping implications for the entities that govern transportation infrastructure. Adjusting to these rapid advances and providing effective, next-generation solutions requires agility and radical innovation.
Yet transformation will be necessary for DOTs to deliver safe, reliable, and integrated infrastructure. The current plight of the typical DOT One key reason for favoring conventional solutions is that the DOT workforce, although changing, is still heavily dominated by civil engineers. A road map to the DOT of the future 1. 2. 3. 4. What the future of work will mean for jobs, skills, and wages: Jobs lost, jobs gained. In an era marked by rapid advances in automation and artificial intelligence, new research assesses the jobs lost and jobs gained under different scenarios through 2030. The technology-driven world in which we live is a world filled with promise but also challenges. Cars that drive themselves, machines that read X-rays, and algorithms that respond to customer-service inquiries are all manifestations of powerful new forms of automation.
Yet even as these technologies increase productivity and improve our lives, their use will substitute for some work activities humans currently perform—a development that has sparked much public concern. Video Powerful new technologies are increasing productivity, improving lives, and reshaping our world. The results reveal a rich mosaic of potential shifts in occupations in the years ahead, with important implications for workforce skills and wages. 1. 2.

Where Will We Be in 2050? Scenario I: A World in Ruins By Kevin D. Denee Problems of every kind plague society, prompting the question: what is in store for the world in 2050? Source: Maksym Filipchuk | Dreamstime.com What does the future hold? These are perhaps some of the biggest questions that confront humanity. Hollywood has its own predictions. What picture do current facts and trends paint for the future? What People Think In April 2010, the Pew Research Center and Smithsonian magazine polled a group of Americans for their perspective on what the world will be like in 2050. A majority of people polled believe that advanced scientific development is certain.
In addition, most believe that an extinct animal will be brought back to life and mankind will find evidence of life somewhere else in the universe. As to the areas of energy and environment, a large majority believe that our energy will not come from coal, oil and gas in four decades. Population Changing Demographics Children in Need. Scientists store data inside DNA that could last MILLIONS of years. Potential for DNA to be used for data storage has been discussed for yearsBut retrieving the data encoded in the genes has previously proved trickyInspired by fossils, researchers from Zurich encased DNA in a 'fossil shell'They subjected these shells - or silica spheres - to extreme temperaturesThis was carried out to mimic chemical degradation seen naturally on DNADespite the conditions, the DNA was extracted and decoded from the silicaAnd if preserved in freezing temperatures, the researchers said the data has the potential to last for 'millions of years' inside DNA By Victoria Woollaston for MailOnline Published: 15:35 GMT, 16 February 2015 | Updated: 18:38 GMT, 18 February 2015 Chemists subjected spheres of DNA to extreme temperatures and found the material - and the data stored on it - could be successfully decoded Just one gram of DNA can store the equivalent of 14,000 Blu-ray discs.
The latest breakthrough could be about to change that, however. This is what travel will look like in 2030, 2050 and 2100. Skyscanner's Future of Travel report predicts personalised hotel visitsBiometric scanning could revolutionise the airport check-in processUnderwater hotels will become mainstream and space holidaying possibleAirbus has developed renderings of their panoramic planes of the future By Katie Amey for MailOnline Published: 07:20 GMT, 24 April 2015 | Updated: 20:44 GMT, 24 April 2015 While time travel may be something that we've only seen in sci-fi films, some scientists believe it may be commonplace in as few as 85 years. From biometric scanning to iPad-controlled hotel rooms, glimpses into the future of travel have already begun popping up in airports and resorts around the world. Here, MailOnline Travel looks ahead at exactly what holidaymakers can expect from flights and accommodations in the future, and attempts to answer the age old question: when will teleportation become a reality?
What does the future of travel hold? By 2030... In fact, we may not even need to wait a decade and a half.

Will Life Be Worth Living In 2,000AD? What sort of life will you be living 39 years from now? Scientists have looked into the future and they can tell you. It looks as if everything will be so easy that people will probably die from sheer boredom.
You will be whisked around in monorail vehicles at 200 miles an hour and you will think nothing of taking a fortnight's holiday in outer space. Your house will probably have air walls, and a floating roof, adjustable to the angle of the sun. oors will open automatically, and clothing will be put away by remote control. The heating and cooling systems will be built into the furniture and rugs. You'll have a home control room - an electronics centre, where messages will be recorded when you're away from home. You'll have wall-to-wall global TV, an indoor swimming pool, TV-telephones and room-to-room TV.
The status symbol of the year 2000 will be the home computer help, which will help mother tend the children, cook the meals and issue reminders of appointments. ©1999 Pixelmatic. Green Homes | Design Idea & Image Galleries on Dornob. A beautiful but creepy vision of the "smart glass" future. Two things: First, considering the touchscreen maps at my local shopping centres ae almost always down or only half work, and smeared with public finger goop, the maintenance factor would be huge in this kind of world. They'd always need constant repairs, cleaning, and upgrading. And the other thing is, though the touchscreen concept works okay at a small handheld level, if every single button you push has no tactile response, that satisfaction of a physical reaction to pressing a button, it can get quite exhausting for the fingers.
Typing, which would be slowed down on a vertical or flat horizontal surface anyway, would be very painful to tap away at, with your fingertips repeatedly hitting solid glass with no give. I can see the small scale, and informative aspect, like temperature gauges on mirrors and windows, or dashboard info on car windscreens, but this kind of epic interactivity just wouldn't work.
