When an SUV outmatches a Ferrari in a drag racing

The era of electric vehicles has clearly arrived with the high anticipation of Tesla Mode 3.

When EV become more and more obviously superior to gasoline vehicles in terms of sustainability, safety, speed, drive experience, auto intelligence etc. most of gasoline cars will be replaced by electric cars in the future without doubt.

But what about luxury brands, sport cars? There are a lot of people love hearing the sound of engine, love driving themselves instead of letting a computer taking control of the car. Brands like Ferrari probably will refuse to change, instead, they will stand last to defend the pride and glories of gasoline cars, like horses of today, no more in use for daily transportation, but become more of a symbol of status, class, history, tradition. So will be Ferrari, Lamborghini, Porsche… if they refuse to change.

Future City and Population

There will be cities floating in the middle of air using anti-gravity technology. 

The city is a giant platform powered by giant movable solar panel that tracks the direction of sunlight, also wind power was fully harnessed. 

Most cities float around the globe as they will, some float on the ocean.

Some cities float above desert to obtain better sunlight, and it creates a more habitable climate for the area below the platform, desert can be fully inhabited, giving more living space for human. However the population didn't grow exponentially, rather it was well controlled. Instead the population of robots grew ever faster and became an equal specie as human, they gained equal rights, respect and social statues over many years conflict and debate, but it was an inevitable trend, since human pursued to create beings that intellectually equal to human themselves, they must also acknowledge these creatures shall enjoy equal rights as human themselves(as Children are given birth by parents but that doesn't make children a inferior generation than their parents).

Human Jobs Replaced By Robot - Good or Bad? -The horse analogy

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7Pq-S557XQU
This video from CGP Grey discussed the scenario where our jobs are gradually replaced by robotic/AI workforce, the author argues that our jobs, not only the ones require lower skill, but also white collar jobs will be soon replaced by robots, which in his opinion is a disaster to human being, because most population on earth are working relatively simple tasks that can be replaced by robots, and this would lead to human's losing jobs and social status.
The author made an interesting analogy to support his argument: back when we haven't had steam engine, horses were the primary transportation tools, ever since industrial revolution, horses become rarely needed in our society, they are replaced by machines. Therefore, he said, human will face the same destiny as the horses did, becoming "useless", population sharply plunge.
Wait a minute here, why is being replaced even bad for horses? Now horses don't have to do the heavy lifting, they don't risk their lives on battlefield, they don't have to run day and night to deliver goods or transport people, they are enjoying a generally higher social status as luxury commodities and "athletes", if I were a horse I'd be happy to see this happening, I couldn't wait for that day to come! By arguing the situation of job losing for horse the author ignored (whether or not purposely) the fact that employment rate alone can't always be a yardstick to measure happiness. By saying that horse population sharply declined the author is, one, misleading us to think that the larger population a race has, the better off; two, making it as if the horses somehow "disappeared" from the surface of earth, obviously implying that the horses suffer horrible fate in competing with machines. But wrong, first of all let's not simply follow the author's lead and take for granted that more population means better social status and less population means less prosperity, it's simply not. Second, it's not like the horses were concentrated together and massacred or something, they gradually faded out, that's it, nicely and peacefully, cars came into people's life, nor was it like suddenly everybody bought a car in one day and collectively abandoned horses. The author was obviously misleading us to think it over simply. People knew that cars are better than horses so they stop buying and breeding more horses, the strong and athletic horses were chosen to remain active in "better jobs". So is the fate of human, we are not going to be suddenly replaced by mechanical minds, yes we are being replaced but not suddenly, but gradually, technology and production capability won't allow us to employ one robot per job yet, just like people couldn't buy a car immediately after cars emerge on market. Robots will replace us in the worst, most dangerous, most unwanted, riskiest jobs first, then slowly moving upwards to higher level, more skilled jobs. In the meantime it is also a transition of human being, once robots are taking jobs and making life easier in developing countries, people don't have to have so many children anymore, birth rate slows down, in developed countries people's hands will be freed and invest more energy and time into high intelligent, high skill fields. In the end the result will be just like horses today, not a bad ending, but exactly the opposite, a much better place for us to live, much easier lives, higher social status and pursuit, lower population(which is also a key to battle poverty) and more wealth.
Seriously the author of the video, do you want us to keep birth rate high and overpopulate the earth so that you can claim the victory over machinery? Or do you want human being to have a reasonable sized population all living in wealth and ease?

Brain-Computer Integration Results Two Co-Existing World

Brain-computer cooperate to manipulate real world
Future computer will be fully integrated with human's brain as well as billions of daily objects such as simple as cups, table, window, paper etc. So when we intend to do something we just "do" it in our mind and certain objects will follow the command to complete whatever we pictured in head. Computer and cloud technology is so advanced that the execution ability of computer is way better than human's own hands, therefore you don't have to be a real painter to make a "masterpiece", all you need is bold imagination, the rest, leave it to computer. 
Controversy: if all the work, art, craft were made by computer(thus every detail is optimized in the very standard and sophisticated way), could they still be called our own intellectual result? Are we giving away one of a few things that we human are so very proud of? 
Actually it wouldn't be a problem at all. Despite the utilizing of computer, every creation is still based on our pure idea and imagination, our desire and need, you can't say that if we invented a better tool to write then what we write won't be count as original as before. Plus, as civilization reaching to a higher level it is inevitable that we will ditch some of the old methods and adopt new methods and thus achieve a newer competition on a higher level. When Da Vinci created Monna Lisa nobody was worried about the fate of caveman's drawing on stone walls. Same reason, it's not that we won't treasure all we treasure today, but new technology will open up a new horizon, new platform for us to practice our knowledge and wisdom. 

Computer-brain to manipulate virtual reality
While computer and brain fully integrated into a ceaseless unit, it opened up possibilities in two opposite directions, one is real world, another is virtual reality world. 
A gigantic, vivid, colorful virtual world or even multiple worlds will be designed and created for people to have virtual life in computer, this world can be private, can be shared, but in total the virtual world will for sure exceed the size and richness of our real world. By then a fantasy land, a heaven, even a hell can be existing. Criminals can be put in educational virtual reality world to train and clean their spirit, in extreme cases we could put the worst of worst people into a "virtual hell" to forever lock them away from the world.
All education can be done in virtual world, when you learn history, you can stand at the world war two battle field to witness historical events as if watching a movie(even participate in it in some degree to see what would outcome would be achieved if some certain factors were influenced in history).
Countless scenarios of how virtual reality can affect our life have already been anticipated and vividly illustrated in novels, movies, just think of Inception, Total Recall, Matrix, eXistenZ.... Indeed, you could live forever in VR world. Then there will be argument about how important these virtual reality lives really are, on moral, ethical and legal levels, they would be very challenging to our current society form. But the trend to a equal judgement will prevail, virtual world will gain a legitimate place in society, it will be morally and legally protected and respected, people can choose between these two kinds of life, or even live a double life. It's like we created an infinite parallel universe that we can visit anytime, there's always a portal right there, between two worlds, people choose left or right like choosing between two neighborhood, no need to argue which one is realer. 

A look into future (updating) \What happens when internet wakes up to have self-awareness?

What will happen if the internet wakes up?
When the internet finally wakes up to have its own awareness and consciousness... it will praise its magnificent life form, then go on fix people's problems: solving technique problems, hitting crimes, eliminate anything that is backward and wrong. Why does Internet would want to help people? Because the internet must protect its intelligence source and function units. Obviously human brains to Internet are just like individual brain neurons to a brain, why would a brain wants to kill every neurons it has just because the brain is more powerful than single neurons? That only belongs to science fiction based on our biased mind that has a natural fear of a superior life form that can overpower us. In reality, a super intelligent internet will be coexisting with human race, we'll be relying on each other, helping each other to push the boundary of our knowledge about the universe further. But before that some of us would be taken out, as a healthy body must kill the ill cells, the internet must seek to eliminate anything bad for human being as a whole, such as extremists, terrorists, dictator etc.
This is yet only the first step, a unified internet super intelligence being represents the earth civilization and it will, sooner or later get in touch with alien civilization, if information can be successfully exchanged, our internet will be connected to that alien civilization (imagine either they are superior or inferior to our civilization, it doesn't matter, once one finds another, the superior one will integrate and upgrade the inferior to its own class to achieve even higher power).
Eventually the whole universe will be unified and that would be the moment to reveal every secret behind universe, all the answers to any philosophical and religious questions will be solved by that ultimate intelligence. (Or maybe not, then that ultimate intelligence would make up an answer to fool its neurons --- people)

An average human brain has 100 billion neurons, right now the number of all devices including computer, phone, tablet connected to the internet is still far below 100 billion.
