Using augmented reality devices (initially, these are glasses, contact lenses, then a variety of implants, supplementing natural senses) mankind will turn the world into a place much more saturated with information. Many old problems will stay in the past. You can’t remember the name and position

Portable generator electromagnetic pulse in the hands of hooligans

Traditional cryptography is no match for quantum computers
Some operations can be easily carried out in one direction, but they are very difficult to reverse. For example, an image can be quickly transformed into a puzzle, but to arrange all the pieces in order to turn the puzzle back into the picture – that’s much longer, both for humans and for computers.

Farewell, privacy
The concept of privacy in a public place will vanish: if now people in the subway - it's just some people in the subway, in the nearest future, everyone will be able to see your name, place of work, age, orientation and your marital status with the help of augmented reality glasses. You may ask, "How

Moscow without traffic
Traffic — this longtime problem in Moscow, with its radial and circle street structure, has all but disappeared. There are several contributing factors.

Avatars
In 2050, remote working and telecommuting are finally legalized in most professions, even emergency paramedics (yes, this job still cannot be assigned to AI). When the call comes, the doctor puts on a set of VR glasses and gloves, and inhabits a robot avatar. The doctor sees with robot eyes and controls

Personal assistants for work and life
Personal assistants have seen rapid development throughout the first half of the 21st century. To begin with, they could only answer primitive questions: in 2020 voice assistants were as dumb as a sack of hammers. But by 2025 PAs had mastered the art of recognizing and transcribing speech (with punctuation

Languages and interpreters: no more “lost in translation”
By 2030, the language barrier was behind us, and knowledge of foreign languages was no longer a job requirement.

AI errors will cost lives
In 2020, machine learning will become a more integral part of our lives, able to perform ever more tasks. Unfortunately, we still cannot trust it to make important decisions. The fact is that machine learning can be fooled. For example, by wearing glasses that are coated in a special way you can cheat
