And all this against an average life expectancy of 54 in 1915. In 2016, in the USA alone there were about 72.000 people at the age of 100 or above. We call them centenarians, people who live to or beyond the age of 100 years. There are human beings on earth who were born more than 100 years ago. I started thinking about how much our world has changed in just the last 100 years.

“Fully autonomous logistics will free up human minds to focus on creativity, well-being and sustainability," he said.But today I was thinking about more than just this past year. That will include self-driving air and land vehicles programmed to optimize their routes and adapt in real-time to a change in needs. In 2120 logistics operations will be fully autonomous, said engineering manager Raúl Alarcón. Robots retrieve and package items in a smart warehouse.

We’re beginning to see the reality of a dark warehouse where robots and software power the entire process. New oil refineries will be built to process these feedstocks at less than half the cost of today’s refinery. Renewable feedstocks will come to market in enough scale to supply about 50% of fuel demand. During the next century, there will be a demand for more efficient engine technologies and the fuels they burn will require much less processing. The onset was so sudden as to cause the permanent closure of many less competitive assets. The COVID-19 shock provided the oil and gas industry with a real-time view of what markets were projected to look like in 2040, said Keith Couch, who has worked with Honeywell UOP for more than 30 years.
Recycled plastics will also reduce the amount of fossil crude oil needed to create new plastics. By turning plastics back into high quality plastics, it will create a circular economy and reducing the amount that end up in landfills and oceans. Only 9% of plastics are recycled, according to National Geographic. But the vast majority that we produce every year ends up in landfills or in our oceans. Plastic improves hygiene, expands our food supply and enables sterile drug management. That means the recycling of plastics that previously could only be downgraded into cheaper quality plastics like lawn furniture. The Plastic Circular Economy will become a reality. “Similar to how the developers of regular computers in the 1950s and 1960s didn’t imagine the many applications of the smart phone today.” “Quantum computers will be used in ways we haven’t even dreamed of yet,” Chris said. Used as a tool for development, quantum computers will likely enable the discovery of new drugs, chemicals and materials, lowering the cost of production and improving quality of life. The next 100 years could see quantum computing revolutionizing chemistry, materials science and many other fields, said Honeywell staff scientist Chris Langer. Optical technology will provide secure, high bandwidth communications necessary to operate in remote environments. Communication, guidance and controls will enable deeper and more efficient exploration. Next-generation environmental controls will make long-term deep space habitation possible. “Sustained presence on the Moon, and, eventually, Mars will open up opportunities for space-based tourism, mining and manufacturing,” Joe said. The space exploration industry will grow by an order of magnitude as commercial ventures grow, said Joe Searle, director of program management for Honeywell’s space business. “Buildings will promote occupant health and wellness as well as experience, security, safety and productivity,” he said. Global mega-trends centered around urbanization, sustainability and productivity indicate another 100 years of growth ahead for the building industry, said Himanshu Khurana, vice president and chief technology officer of Honeywell Building Technologies. This includes ideal comfort settings for lighting and temperature to security and energy measures, such as automatic shutdowns during a perceived threat or optimized power consumption with carbon-negative buildings. During the next century, artificial intelligence (AI) and machine learning (ML) will help those facilities anticipate our needs and become automatic buildings. Powered by high-density energy storage, the aviation industry will be carbon negative as flights become emission-free. The future of aviation will also be sustainable and seamless. We will not think twice about jumping into an autonomous aerial vehicles to travel, said Jia Xu, senior director of strategic planning for Honeywell Aerospace. Air Travelįlights without pilots will be the norm. Here is how seven industries will transform. The megatrends say that industries will be transformed by artificial intelligence, machine learning and data. In 2120, what will it be like to travel? Work? Recycle?
