99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
In the last video, I've mentioned how I've been asked

2
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to make predicitons for the year 2060. In the last one

3
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
I've focused on education, that's obviously what I'm

4
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
working on now, and I have some opinions on that. But

5
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
what I want to do in this video is do

6
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
slightly more broad and wild predictions, and my one

7
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
prediction I'll make is on probably not

8
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
going to predict the real reality of 2060 and the

9
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
probably big things to predict, I will completely

10
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
miss. But with that out of the way,

11
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it's fun to predict things, so let's give it a shot.

12
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So the first area that I will predict is what is

13
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
going to happen in the field of medicine.

14
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
And in particular I think that the human life

15
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
span is going to increase dramatically.

16
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
So, I'll be conservative, and say that the lifespan

17
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is going to be, especially in the developed world

18
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and hopefully by the year 2060 most of the world

19
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
is developed, the average human lifespan is going

20
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to be over one hundred years old. And I won't

21
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
say whether that's going to be a good or a bad

22
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
thing. There's arguments either way about the

23
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
proper way to live and what happens to global

24
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
populations..But if the world is for the most part

25
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
developed and educated you actually

26
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
will probably have a lower rate of reproduction

27
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and so you might actually have some space in the

28
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
world for older people. But this I has a very

29
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
strong change of happening. Because we are starting

30
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to understand the molecular basis of aging. It's

31
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
not a given thing that because of some form of wear

32
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
and tear things have to die have to die after 70

33
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
years or 80 years or 90 years. And we are starting

34
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
to understand the mechanisms and how to maybe

35
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
improve the repair mechanisms or how to augment

36
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
it in some way. So I definietly think this is

37
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
going to happen. I don't know if it's going to

38
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
be a positive or a negative, but it's likely to

39
99:59:59,999 --> 99:59:59,999
happen. The next thing, and this is still kind
