미래 기술: 3D 프린팅, 로봇공학, 유전학, 우주 여행, AI 등

In this class, we will learn about what life may look like in the near and distant future. We will consider and discuss how the future will be affected by factors such as artificial intelligence, self-driving vehicles, 3D-printing, nanobots, virtual reality, space travel, and more. 

Students will discuss the likeliness, ethics, benefits, and potential negative effects of future technologies and scenarios. They will have a chance to make predictions of their own, discuss futuristic books & movies, and make reasoned arguments as to why they believe certain things may come to be (or not). 
 
We will discuss:
1) Our technological history & past predictions
2) Modern technological trends
3) Life in 2030, 2050, and 2100
4) The future in books and movies.

While the future is impossible to predict, we will make educated guesses and reference insights from popular, science-based sources and books such as Life 3.0, The Future of Humanity, Futurism.com, and more (it is not necessary at all for students to have or to have read these).

I am very optimistic about the future and aim to keep the class positive, educational, interesting, and fun. We will use an image-heavy slideshow of emerging and potential future technologies.
