Google's Schmidt predicted six tech trends: making meat-3D printing, virtual reality, driverless cars-IT information
On May 4, according to Fortune magazine, in his entire career, Alphabet, Executive Chairman of the parent company Google, Eric Schmidt (Eric Schmidt) were almost always predict how technology will change the world. As Google's global ambassadors around the world during, Schmidt met with many world leaders, and his identification of the most important future technology trends. Thousands of investors and business executives recently gathered in the Auditorium at the Milken Institute in Los Angeles, heard Schmidt described 6 change "rules of the game" of technology, they will completely change the important part of the community.
1. use a plant making artificial meat
Schmidt said he saw a revolution is coming, that is, using plants to create artificial substitute for the real meat. Replacing livestock with planting and harvesting plants can significantly reduce greenhouse gas emissions to mitigate climate change. The meat industry, particularly beef production emits large amounts of greenhouse gases. Development of vegetable protein instead of meat may also lower the cost of food in developing countries, some still make the occasional food shortages in developing countries.
Compared with the cultivation of plants can provide the same protein, provide 1 kg of meat to the grocery store (including breeding, slaughter, transport and so on) the efficiency is very low, the cost is very high. Mr Schmidt said, the world is now ready with the help of computer and data processing, synthesis of using plants to produce better food. Technology can help researchers and scientists have recognized as the best combination of plants or plant, in order to create specific tastes and foods that meet specific nutritional needs.
2.3D printing architecture
Whether it is residential or commercial construction, built up is quite time consuming, their energy-intensive industries, and costly. But in the latest computing technology and software, driven by 3D printing can be very low cost printing building, and faster, and better for the environment. These 3D printed architectural scale custom modules and assembled on site, building efficiency greatly improved. 3D printing will also encourage greater use of recycled materials.
3. virtual reality
Many industry observers are closely related set of virtual reality helmet and the rise of Facebook's Oculus company and other manufacturers. But Schmidt says, most convincing virtual reality application that will soon appear in a video game and entertainment industries. Through the "augmented reality" cars, field of work or education or to add visual and audio signals, this technology will play an important role in order to build a better society.
4. medical data
Schmidt said the mobile phone is becoming a perfect device monitor individuals and collect health data. We need to touch the phone to 1500 times per week, we touch most closely in this equipment. Mobile computing power, networking capacity, bring their own cameras and other sensors makes it a super powerful equipment, patients and their doctors by medical data can be linked.
5. the driverless car
The same as Silicon Valley's most anticipated, Schmidt says driverless cars will represent a great business opportunity. But he does not consider the driving duties over to the computer will make the world safer. Schmidt said that the United States has 32,800 people died in traffic accidents this year. He proposed that the world should participate in the "global" moonshot project ", focus on developing driverless cars. Google, the parent company is now developing unmanned technology.
6. use of technology education
Mr Schmidt said, we all know that every student learning and efficiency are not the same. But the computer can help transform education, so that everyone gets the most efficient way to learn. Computer technology makes it easy to monitor how students learn, and then find the most effective method of education for everyone. We need more tools to help teachers develop teaching, so that education becomes more efficient.
谷歌施密特预测六大科技趋势：用植物造肉 -
3D打印,虚拟现实,无人驾驶汽车 - IT资讯
5月4日，据财富杂志报道，在全部职业生涯中，谷歌母公司Alphabet执行主席埃里克·施密特（Eric Schmidt）几乎总是在预测技术将如何改变世界。作为谷歌全球大使环游世界期间，施密特会见过许多国家领导人，并宣扬自己认定的最重要的未来科技趋势。数以千计的投资者和企业高管近日聚集在梅肯研究院位于洛杉矶的礼堂中，听取施密特阐述6大改变“游戏规则”的技术，它们将彻底改变社会的重要组成部分。
1.使用植物制作人造肉
施密特称，他看到一场革命正在到来，即使用植物制作人造肉代替真正的肉类。以种植和收获植物取代饲养牲畜可以大大减少温室气体排放，减缓气候变化过程。肉类产业，特别是牛肉生产会排放大量温室气体。开发植物蛋白质以取代肉类也可降低发展中国家的食物成本，有些发展中国家偶尔依然闹粮荒。
与种植可提供同等蛋白质的植物相比，向杂货店提供1公斤肉类（包括饲养、屠宰、运输等）效率非常低下，成本也非常高。施密特表示，世界现在已经准备好在计算机和数据处理的帮助下，利用植物生产更好的合成食物。技术可以帮助研究人员和科学家确认最好的植物或植物组合，以便创造出特定口味和满足特定营养需求的食物。
2.3D打印建筑
无论是民用还是商用建筑，建造起来都相当耗费时间，它们属于能源密集型产业，成本十分高昂。但是在最新计算技术和软件推动下，3D打印技术可以极低成本打印建筑物，且速度更快，也更加环保。这些3D打印建筑可以大规模定制模块，并在现场组装，建筑效率大幅提高。3D打印也将鼓励更多使用回收材料。
3.虚拟现实
许多科技行业观察家都在密切关组虚拟现实头盔以及Facebook旗下Oculus公司等制造商的崛起。但施密特认为，虚拟现实最具说服力的应用将很快出现在视频游戏和娱乐行业之外。通过“增强现实”或向汽车、工作间或教育领域添加视觉和音频信号，这种技术将为打造更美好社会发挥重要作用。
4.医疗数据移动化
施密特表示，手机正成为监控个人健康和收集健康数据的完美设备。我们每周需要碰触手机1500次，这令其成为与我们身体接触最紧密的设备之一。手机的计算能力、联网能力、自带摄像头以及其他传感器也令其成为超级强大的设备，可以将病人与医生通过医疗数据联系起来。
5.无人驾驶汽车
与硅谷大多数人的预见相同，施密特认为无人驾驶汽车将代表巨大商机。但他认为将驾驶工作交给计算机将令世界变得更安全。施密特说，美国今年已经有3.28万人死于交通意外。他建议全世界都应该参与到“全球性moonshot项目”中来，重点研发无人驾驶汽车。谷歌母公司现在正研发无人驾驶技术。
6.利用技术改革教育
施密特称，众所周知，每个学生的学习方法和效率都不相同。但计算机可以帮助改变教育，以便于每个人都获得最高效的学习方式。计算机技术可以轻松监控学生们如何学习，然后为每个人找到最有效的教育方法。我们需要研发更多工具以帮助老师增强教学，让教育变得更加高效。
