For Something Like me who gets by on what i know just on the computers how difficult is all this integration going to be for the average consumer. Its not going to be difficult. Over the past few years the number of new products that have come out that have been unimaginable have been astonishing. For a very long time cellphones were not powerful computers. They did a little bit of text messaging, and thats all the cell phone did. All of a sudden cell phones are more powerful than any of the computer i grew up with were. The cellphones have just blown up. It will handle all of this intelligence automatically. When theyre handling the intelligence, lets talk about selfdriving cars. Theyre going to be able to communicate with each other. What is that kind of interaction of information going to do . Well, the fundamental thing about self driving cars is a road that will accept 1500 cars an hour driven by humans will accept 37,500 cars an hour if driven by computers. Computers operate on a much greater speed of responsiveness. One of the rules that we see in Society Governments if it involves making transportation more efficient it will get done. This is something that were looking at on a 20year time span. We have a message from someone from our community. She said more single driver vehicles as trucks and suvs become too expensive, scooters and bikes will be safer to ride. The point hes making theyll be safer on the road and theyll work around pedestrians and bikes. What does this say about our society in the way that were heading . What are the larger issues heres request. Well, not only can roads handle these cars more efficiently, but well have fewer cars. Before we get into the philosophy of it whether its good or bad, i think its fantastic. It means that the market for cars goes down. Theyre looking at a future tensionally as a result where massive option of selfdriven cars systems, car ownership will go down by a factor of 10 because you can ride share more easily. Thats one aspect of it thats strange and revolutionary. I have a car. It self drives. It drives me to work. Someone pings me on uber, i would like to drive with you today. I say sure. I give them a key over the smart phone so thick sit in the passenger seat, and when i get off at 5 00, it comes to pick me up. There is no need for cars. What happens to jobs as the need changes is this the life of the privileged. What about those who cant afford it. Where do they fit in the future. Exactly. For jobs its not a great story. There are different jobs that as we increase the level of efficiency in our economy all of a sudden it changes. There are ways to mitigate against it through Unemployment Insurance that we havent begun to think about. But in terms of what consumers will be able to access, far more consumers will get where they need to go in public transportation. Private transportation, schemes of car sharing that dont exist. In terms of jobs, its not fantastic. Where all things end something new begins. Thats often the mother of innovation when Technology Forces us to move forward. Dan, i want to talk about the future of entertainment and work. How is tech going to impact those two things, particularly in terms of how we consume our entertainment. The biggest thing i see changing is the nature of displays and three dimensional television. 3d tv was not a great success. The problem was you had to wear these glasses and a lot of engineers thought 3d just required one image to go to one eye and one image to go to the other but thats not how the human eye works. You need to focus on something close or something far away. That meant that display was not met by 3d display or movies and made it difficult to look at even without the glasses. What well get is light field displays. Light field displays every photon of light that comes from the display is not blasting out in every direction. You actually have a photon going in one angle and then another angle and another angle. What this means that this display, instead of looking like a flat surface or even a flat surface with a thre weird 3d element to it. It will have dimension. It will have a full 3d feel to it. Like a window to another world that you could put your hand right through it. And it will make telecommuting a heck of a lot easier. We have teleconferences that looks like theyre not talking because theyre looking at the side. And well end up our cameras integrated to the very fabric of the displays that were looking at. So when youre looking at somebodys eyes theyre looking at your eyes as well. Dan, how far away are we from that technology being used consistently . Were about a year or two away from 3d displays that are going to be on head mounted. There is a company that has a 3d riff coming, and video chip sets will have a field display that go over the eyes in a headmounted way. In terms of the full displays that we look at, the screens need to be 16 to 32 k before theyre able to do this full field capability. So by 2024. Oh, yes, by 2024, probabl probably 2017 or 2018 or sooner than that. This is coming. This is on the train. Josh, sign us up. What if you could get a medical checkup from the palm of your hand. The future of health and hospital waiting rooms may be a thing of the past, and in some cases doctors may not prove to be the necessity they are now. And how will tech will eliminate uncomfortable small talk. This will guide you in small talk with those you have the most in common. We all live for the moment thats all im trying to do 15 stories, 1 incredible journey edge of eighteen coming september only on Al Jazeera America welcome back, were talking about emerging technologies that will be commonplace by 2024. Joining us is a trauma surgeon and creator of m power. Dr. He was thanks for joining us. Your group is building this mobile app that allows patients to monitor their wounds for signs of infection. How can an app like that change Patient Outcome . Were hoping to see an improvement in Patient Outcome because we would be able to detect something going wrong maybe soother than in our current state of care. Right now we rely on patients to notice that something is wrong and then to make a telephone call or come to the emergency room for the next step in their care. We would like to see a more active communication between patient and provider. We hope this i app will facilitate that. Are there postoperative implications that can even lead to death . Some recent data has suggested that we may be seeing about one in four patients developing a surgical site infection or wound problem after surgeon kinds of surgery, and it is the most expensive healthassociated we deal with. These handheld device also give you blue glucose ratings. There is a movement that says we shouldnt just be getting Health Information every once in a while when we go into the doctors office. We should have realtime monitoring almost like we have for some of our computer systems. Your heart rate, res pe res per res per ration, this will revolutionary our ability to honestly monitorwatch our health change. Before we get to the point we feel ourselves get sick we will see these leading signs and say, oh, something is going wrong. You touched on something that our viewers are thinking about. Some say its risky because some people think they can diagnose themselves. Dr. Evans how often do you see that . Someone comes in because theyve selfdiagnosed themselves from something theyve red on the internet. This is going to be a big problem for providers in particular because we dont know how to deal with all this massive amount of information thats going to be coming at us if patients are going to be at home taking their Blood Pressure every day or taking it more often, how do we interpret those values . Do we know what they were doing when they took their Blood Pressure . I think trying to integrate the information is going to be a big challenge for us. On the other hand, its a very exciting time. Drdoctor, were talking about our medical information floating out there at some point. Do you have concerns about the discrimination based on this for individuals . I think as were pointing out it does have potential to really change the way we Access Healthcare and make it much more efficient to continuously understand your own health state and to add to the body of medical knowledge as we are able to view everyones health state in the context of everyones health state. But to make sure that it reaches its full potential we do have to Start Talking about discrimination right now. There is no law right now that prohibits an Insurance Company to discriminate on selfcollected data. There are laws tha that prohibit Insurance Companies from discriminating against you and your genetic information, but we need to push for laws that prevent companies from discriminating against you on the health data. More people will feel empowered to develop the systems so we can integrate this much more fully and realize the results much more quickly. I would like to jump in there because i think there is a balance between the privacy that you give up and the benefits that you receive from giving up that privacy. You know, if we were all asked a question if your child was in the emergency room, and you were not there, and he was unidentified, would you want all the possible Information Available to be able to take care of the child before you were able to get there and provide it yourself . I think we would all say yes. But that comes at a cost, right . Which we want to have privacy, were going to not have that Information Available. Thats the current state of affairs. We were talking earlier about this idea. The millennial generation is the first generation not to have experienced full privacy in terms of the way others older than them have. Do you recognize the general willingness to give up information . I have, and increasingly it doesnt matter what age you are, if youre techsavvy, and you enjoy your smart phone, the easy of being able to take a selfie of your wound and say to your doctor, im texting you this mention, can you look at my wound and tell me what it looks like. This is where our app started. We want to address this privacy issue. We want to secure a standardize way to communicate safely with our patients, but to make it easy. Thank you dr. Heather evans for coming on the show. Still ahead, the future of how we socialize is next, and the amount of information that youll know about total strangers will shock you. Well see you in two minutes. Life. Killing the messenger on Al Jazeera America welcome back. Were discussing how life will be different in ten years with leading forward thinkers. Patrick, before the break i said well be able to go to cocktail parties in the future and not have that awkward small talk with people we have nothing in common. The tech will guide us to people we have something in common in the first place. The future has arrived, its just not recentlil evenly distributed. In 1995 a student from mit wasnt to go to the conference and get people in the conference to interact with each other in a more meaningful way. So everyone would interact with a particular person. He handed out these mobile phones and had everyone carry it around with them and fill out a profile. The mobile phones would tell you who to interact with. But then what you found was the prettiest girl in the room president bush. Everyone wanted to speak with nicholas, and nicholas didnt want to talk with anybody. You find this okay, cupid, tender, geomobile way of relating through our phones to the real world, this is a problem youre going to keep encountering. People being told to interact with someone because thats a great person for it that person to interact with, but a minus for the guy on the other end. This is from laura who said perhaps our physical address will be replaced by social network address since i predict everyone will be on a social met work. Dan s that true . Will everyone be on a social network in the very near future . There are two groups of people that you can consider yourself around. There are the people that youre physically with, and then there is everybody else, the people you could be texting, the people you could be tweeting with, emailing, and its become a little bit of a problem. Everyone is sitting around dinner. Theyre chatting. There is a lull in the conversation, and then everyone runs to the phone to see what the buzz is about. There is an issue where people have trouble being present. I think the biggest thing thats going to change in the next ten years is going to be the development of these social moors when its inappropriate to be with your Online Community and know this is a moment you should be just here and now. That being said there is a huge problem that we have in the here and now, a lot of us have trouble remembering names and matching names to faces. If i have to wear a piece of gear on my head to know the name of the person that im talking to, i will look like the biggest dork, no problem. Just tell me their name, please. Is all this technology increase our isolation . Always facing the phone or the gadget, but it sounds like what dan is saying, tell me if you agree, there will be rules when we interact with our devices or theyre going to be so integrated that they dont notice . I think were beginning to reach the point where we are annoyed enough by the way that other people interact with devices well realize how we interact with the devices. Well look at ours behaviors. I dont see it as a huge barrier to productive interaction. And its not just stuff that would go into a static profile like their occupation or maybe even their clout rank if you want to get to competitive about it, but it could be stuff like how best interact with this person in terms of how to talk, when to listen, when to interrupt, when not to interrupt. How much they enjoy back and forth versus single monologue. All of this will lead something available to us. Thanks to all of our guests. Well see you online
