FUTURE LIFE ON EARTH
Learn about the technologies that will usher in a whole new way of
life: we will live in floating cities, fly to work and travel in cars
capable of operating underwater. And, with new technologies, humanity
will find new ways of protecting and conserving resources to meet the
needs of a growing population by using renewable sources of water, food
and electricity. The era of smog-filled skies will be over, because
fewer of us will be driving cars. Where we're going, we won't need
roads. We'll be piloting environmentally friendly personal vehicles
between cities and under the seas. And the good news is we'll never be
lost, thanks to new advances in GPS-driven virtual mapping. Then again,
with the ability to teleport our presence anywhere on Earth, we might
not have to travel at all. And, best of all, we'll all have more time
to enjoy the astounding advances of our near future, because we'll all
be living longer. A lot longer.
FUTURE INTELLIGENCE
Catch a first-time glimpse at smart technology that will put android helpers in the home, network commuters and entire cities to the Web, and bring us entertainment systems that can virtually make dreams come true. Advances in artificial intelligence are creating machines with near human-like mental agility. Intelligence will be embedded everywhere -- even in our clothing, thanks to smaller, more powerful computers.

EXTREME TOMORROW
Venture to the farthest edges of science, where invisibility, teleportation and super-strength will give us seemingly impossible powers and capabilities.

FUTURE SHIPS
If you think you've already seen every way a boat can move across the water, think again. "Future Ships" goes inside invisible aircraft carriers, mega-yachts, personal submarines and craft capable of changing appearance on the high seas.

FUTURE METRO
Go inside the networked intelligence of tomorrow's urban transportation systems. We'll examine personal rapid transit, stackable cars and underground automated highways.
