2002'S VISIONS FROM THE FUTURE

featured img


In the future, you'll have the option to possess a virtual world, getting together with companions to visit and parlor around with a symbol you've made yourself. This virtual "you" will be adjustable and there will be no restrictions to this astounding world. Everything sounds a piece like what's in store organizations like Meta have as a main priority here in 2022. But at the same time it's the thing was being sold as "what's to come" when Gizmodo was first established quite a while back.


We've been distributing Gizmodo since the site was established in the late spring of 2002. Also, we've seen the ascent and fall of innumerable advancements. A large number of those innovations were simple commitments representing things to come. What's more, they as often as possible didn't turn out a remarkable way they were at first imagined. In any case, a portion of the forecasts were unbelievably exact.


To commend our twentieth commemoration, we're investigating dreams from 2002.If you ended up visiting the Consumer Electronics Show in Las Vegas in January of 2002, you might have detected a "shopper wearable" gadget made by an organization called Xybernaut that incorporated a pocket PC, fastened hand switch, and a head-mounted show. Named the Poma, the gadget retailed for $1,499, yet never tracked down its direction into standard achievement.


Clients could get to "pocket" forms of Internet Explorer, Windows Media Player, and, surprisingly, a variant of Microsoft Word — however we envision exploring any of it was staggeringly troublesome with that fastened remote.


What has been going on with Xybernaut? The organizers, Edward and Steven Newman, were explored by the SEC in 2005 for a lot of unlawful poop, remembering staying with the's board for the dull about huge amounts of cash and attempting to obstruct reviews. The two had to leave not long after that and were prosecuted for tax evasion and protections extortion in 2007.Humans have been sitting tight for a robot worker for more than 100 years at this point. Be that as it may, even with the improvements in mechanical technology of the 1980s and '90s, they were still a fantasy. By the mid 2000s, specialists at Carnegie Mellon University designed a robot called GRACE that planned to upset the manner in which people communicated with our robot buddies. Yet, it's still incredibly crude according to the viewpoint of 2022.


The August 1, 2002 release of the Edmonton Journal incorporated a tale about this robot from the future, and it wasn't very humanoid yet. However, that was the whole objective. The robot, as you can see above, could move around and had essential vision capacities. What's more, an animation face was gazing back at you with an end goal to cause people to feel quiet.


"Later on, robots will be there to work with us and we should have the option to collaborate with them regularly," one of the automated scientists told the Edmonton Journal.


He is stressed over saving lives and doesn't have any desire to be stressed over how to cause the robot to do what it should."


At the point when this columnist visited the DARPA Robotics Challenge in 2015, he saw a lot of individuals discussing comparable difficulties. Whenever the U.S, as a matter of fact. military is directing this sort of mechanical technology research, the utilization case introduced is quite often saving somebody's life in catastrophe situations. However, we understand what genuine the ultimate objective is with these things. Presenting to you a Pepsi is not. It's reality domination.If you were flipping through the November 18, 2002 issue of Time magazine at the dental specialist's office, you would've seen a ton of dreams for what's in store. There were the coolest innovations of the year, as indicated by Time, including a "little" 3.5 megapixel camera that "will create pictures as clear as the present 7MP models." There was likewise a short snippet about something many refer to as Second Life.The brief presentation for Second Life sounds almost indistinguishable from the pitch Meta, the organization recently known as Facebook, is right now making for its own metaverse. Be that as it may, exactly how much achievement will Meta find? That part stays to be seen.But Second Life wasn't one of a kind when it came to living on the web. The November 25, 2002 issue of Time magazine incorporated an article called Sim Nation, about the computer game The Sims getting on the web abilities. Furthermore, the manner in which Time discussed concerns encompassing web-based networks was unintentionally judicious.
