Predictions of Future Technologies

This is not prophecy, but prediction.

If this was predicted 27 years ago, somebody knew something.

Okay, here's the list. This is an abbreviated list.

I could have made it much longer. You know I can.

I didn't.

Okay, you ready for the list? Fast-mutating viral disease pandemics.

Genetically developed vaccines.

DNA database tracking.

DNA chips.

Get this one.

1997. Gene-based pharmaceuticals. Transmitting genetic instructions for a disease

process. How about this one? You ready for it? Wait for it.

Artificial intelligence to determine gene patterns.

27 years ago, who had heard about AI?

Apparently they had.

How about this one? Robots for doing genome sequencing.

And then, this one blew me away. Using recombinant DNA for making spike proteins.

1997?

It gets even worse.

Smart homes.

They have a whole chapter on smart homes slash smart cities.

This one will absolutely floor you.

It did me.

In 1997,

and this is, you can do the word search and research yourself.

They predicted, not 2025, but by 2020,

that people would be working from home virtually.

Nuclear devices causing widespread contamination.

Nanotech devices. This stuff was never even heard of.

Digital currency.

And last, but certainly not least.

Vaccination programs. I'm sorry, I got to chuckle. Because

if I don't, I'll cry. Vaccination programs run by organizations like the World Health Organization for a global killer that has yet to emerge.
