I asked the smartest people I know for their tech predictions for the next 20 years (2018 – 2038). What are the breakthroughs we can expect on our countdown to the Singularity?

I compiled 50 predictions in a document distributed to my [Abundance 360](https://www.abundance360.com/summit)** **and** **[Abundance Digital](https://www.abundance.digital/)** **communities.

If you’d like a copy of all 50 predictions, you can download them [here](https://www.diamandis.com/countdown-to-the-singularity-predictions).

For fun, and context, here’s a dozen of those predictions...

**2018****:**

**Quantum Supremacy Achieved: **The first demonstration of a quantum computation that can’t be simulated with classical supercomputers is announced.

**2020**:

**Flying car **operations take off in a dozen cities in the world.

The 5G Network unleashes **10 – 100 Gigabit connection speeds **for mobile phones around the world.

**2022:**

Robots are commonplace in most middle-income homes, able to reliably read lips and recognize face, mouth and hand gestures.

All toys are “smart” with built-in machine learning.

**2024****:**

The **first private human missions **have launched for the surface of **Mars.**

The first **“one cent per kilowatt-hour” **deals for solar and wind are signed.

**2026****:**

**Car ownership is dead **and autonomous cars dominate our roadways.

100,000 **people commute by VTOL **each day in each of L.A., Tokyo, Sao Paulo and London.

**2028****:**

**Solar and wind represent nearly 100% of new electricity **generation.

**Autonomous vehicles, electric vehicles **account for half of all miles driven in large city centers.

**2030****:**

**Artificial Intelligence passes the Turing test, **meaning it can match (and exceed) human intelligence in every area.

Humanity has achieved **“Longevity Escape Velocity” **for the wealthiest.

**2032****:**

**Medical nanorobots **demonstrated in humans are able to extend the immune system.

**Avatar Robots become popular, **allowing everyone the ability to “teleport” their consciousness to remote locations all over the world.

**2034****:**

Companies like Kernel have made significant, reliable connections between the **human cortex **and the Cloud.

**Robots act as maids, butlers, nurses and nannies, **and become full companions. They support extended elderly independence at home.

**2036****:**

**Longevity treatments **are routinely available and covered by life insurance policies, extending the average human lifespan 30 – 40 years.

**2038****:**

**Everyday life is now unrecognizable **- incredibly good and hyper Virtual Reality and Artificial Intelligence augment all parts of the world and every aspect of daily human life.

## INTERESTED IN JOINING ME? (TWO OPTIONS)

1. **A360 Executive Mastermind:** This is the sort of conversation I explore at my Executive Mastermind group called Abundance 360. The program is highly selective, for 360 abundance and exponentially minded CEOs (running $10M to $10B companies). If you’d like to be considered, [apply here](https://www.abundance360.com/summit?__hstc=88394500.47d8a55b0e56b46d90e25b00c0b7def9.1627410382918.1634269795358.1634274972329.119&__hssc=88394500.11.1634274972329&__hsfp=4021131615). Share this with your friends, especially if they are interested in any of the areas outlined above.
2. **A360 Digital Mastermind:** I’ve also created a Digital/Online community of bold, abundance-minded entrepreneurs called [Abundance 360 Digital](https://www.abundance.digital/) (A360D). A360D is my ‘onramp’ for exponential entrepreneurs – those who want to get involved and play at a higher level.
