Krátky popis
We love to imagine the future. But why are groundbreaking future
technologies always just around the corner, and never a reality?For
decades we've delighted in dreaming about a sci-fi utopia, from
flying cars and bionic humans to hyperloops and smart cities. And
why not? Building a better world — be it a free-flying commute or
an automated urban lifestyle — is a worthy dream.Given the pace of
technological change, nothing seems impossible anymore. But why are
these innovations always out of reach?Delving into the remarkable
history of technology, The Long History of the Future introduces us
to the clever scientists, genius engineers and eccentric innovators
who first brought these ideas to life and have struggled to make
them work since. These stories reveal a more realistic picture of
how these technologies may evolve — and how we'll eventually get to
use them.You may never be able to buy a fully driverless car, but
automated braking and steering could slash collision rates. Smart
cities won't perfect city life, but they could help empty bins on
time. Hyperloops may never arrive, but superfast trains are already
here.We always believe current technology is the best it could be.
By looking to the past and the future, Nicole Kobie shows how
history always proves us wrong and how what lies ahead may not be
what we imagine, but so much better.
