The look of our environment
From apm
This page is here to focuses exclusively on the expectable optical look of a future in which advanced atomically precise technology has spread far and wide. Some things may become a reality long before APT is reached.
[Todo: add short explanations and links]
Outdoors
- agricultural field area replaced through parks for humans and nature or other things
- streets drastically changing appearance and character
- vanishing electric power transmission towers
- sails replacing windmills
- much more variety in shapes of architecture
- variety in daily seen ethnicities - stronger societal mixing due to cheaper transport
- a lot of public displays - screens replacing all billboards screens on/in many other surfaces (like e.g. house walls and parts of streets and walkways)
- more intense colors - artificial environment starting to feature whole gamut colors
- brighter colors - as bright as the blazingly glistering reflected sunlight from waves
- radically different kind of clothing (clothing partly independent of time of year - except naked)
- radical variety of clothing (open source archives of styles the past always accessible)
- abundant physical telepresence
- much decreased negative effect of some natural disasters (earthquakes, storm) – one reason: mostly indoor vertical farming
- most people wearing computer-glasses or computer-contact-lenses
- less people seen in local social interaction ?
- - more global social interaction
- - less working for survival
- - more working for what one finds needs to be done
- - vanishing fixed place of work
- - dispersed interest groups
- lights shining down from one or more moon cities (depending on amount of outdoor lighting)
- very quiet environment
- - no more jackhammers on newer construction sites **
- - quieter planes
- - quieter trains
- - no loud and stinky reciprocating combustion engines
- - no loud macroscopic reciprocating compressor pumps
- no more people fighting mosquitoes
Indoors
[todo: categorize based on rooms]
- new types of doors (hand sign to let it slide open - no slide in slot)
- semi soft floors super friendly for naked feet
- digitally adjustable shelves (adjustment probably wont be done that often) - many styles
- body shape adapting furniture - many styles
- always perfect temperature (not exactly a visible parameter but excuse this exception **)
- tables usable as computers? (might not be needed so much because of VR/AR)
- unbreakable tableware that retains the so much appreciated characteristics (hardness, sound, "coldness" that is thermal conductivity)
- breakable tableware (just for effect) that slightly bluntens all the edges when broken
- upgraded dishwashers (???) and washing machines (???) - active self cleaning ? inch sized cleaning bots ?
- not much change in toilets ?
- workshops degrading to just spaces where things can be put together by hand without tools
- many upgrades to the workshops that explicitly work with "old" materials making those products cheaper too but not as cheap as gem gum stuff.
- Astounding robotics. See: Multi limbed sensory equipped shells and Gem-gum balloon products
