Here a photo of a robot looking at an electronic board.Maybe wondering what it will bring in the future.

HOW WILL PHYSICS AND TECHNOLOGY DEVELOP IN THE FUTURE?

We tend to think science and technology to develop along a straight line towards the top of a mountain of knowledge. But is it? There are levels of skills, knowledge and technical feasibilities. Some levels in history stretches out from the invention of the wheel, developing tools for the artisan, the first industrial revolution with its steam engine and the second industrial revolution with assembly lines, cars and vast factories. A third revolution followed with integrated circuits, fast computers and the internet. Perhaps a biological revolution is waiting with applications like sensors, nano- technological applications to be built in everywhere, also into the human body. Big data will influence our economy. Platforms will deliver services and products at home .All this seem to be waiting for us in this century. No doubt human society will be transformed to a society with communicating possibilities everywhere. And information can be manipulated as well. Levels for information handling, technology for the human body and  the brain will be explored.                                               History tells us that all those revolutionary changes are leveled in a sort of plateaus. A level for mechanization, scale enlargements, digitalization of electronics, information technology and industry in general will change society completely and will become more personalized. Ways for medical treatment, energy source developing  and space technology profoundly will change. And changes happen according to paradigm changing. All works according to their own paradigm of science and technology. What is a paradigm? It are those  ideas and starting points of a group of people like artisans, scientists, and technicians have together for their work. Also influenced by politics society changes accordingly. As Thomas Kuhn explained in his work: “The Structure of Scientific Revolution “all paradigms one day has to come to  an end. At that time all technicians scientists and artisans have done all they could, given the tools they could use. The paradigm has become worn out. As squeezing fruit have to stop if all the juice is gone. Another paradigm has to be invented and will follow. Will science and technology develop in a straight line with the sky as the limit? The answer seems definitely not.
