Future Technology In The Future

Our world is changing faster than ever. The world’s population is keep growing at a rapid speed. The United Nations estimates that the World’s population will be about 9.7 billion people increasing by 27% from now (UN, 2015). By that time, we will face a lot of challenges regarding food, water and energy. Climate change and global warming are one of the most significant challenges to the World in the future (ANDREW STOCK, 2014). This report will focus on the future challenges regarding energy, and shows a future technology will be used in the future to generate the electricity, and reduce the global warming and climate changes.

Today, Australia is one of the most countries which produces more pollution per unit of electricity in the world,

About 30% of this energy is returned back into space by the atmosphere. Since clouds, atmosphere and the night are absent in space, Space-based solar power would be able to capture sun energy from the space and transfer it to the earth. The idea is to build giant solar farms in space that will gather energy from sunlight in space and transmit it wirelessly to the Earth with either a microwave or laser beam. The sun’s lifetime is estimated by 4-5 billion years, that makes space solar power a long-term energy solution (U.S. Department of Energy, 2014).

2. Human Power

Human power is the power produced by human’s body, from human’s footsteps to button presses, humans are constantly expending energy, and since the energy can be converted from one form to another, researchers are working to convert these movements into an electricity power. Scientists are working to increase power efficiencies from human’s body and increase it, so possibly in the near future, humans will be able to charge their phones batteries from their body’s movement in their pocket or by a few finger taps when they press on the screen (Umair Irfan, 2012).
