😎 This is an infographic with predictions made in 2013. Has any of this come true according to your most recent knowledge?

🤖 Certainly! Let’s take a look at some of these predictions and see which ones have come to fruition according to my last update in January 2022:
1. **The Great Firewall on the Internet from China getting stronger (2013)**: Yes, China has continued to strengthen its internet censorship practices.
2. **Bitcoin being widely used for illegal transactions
🤖 (2013)**: Bitcoin and other cryptocurrencies have been used for both legal and illegal transactions. However, it’s worth noting that the majority of Bitcoin transactions are legitimate.😎 It seems you didn’t read some of the texts accurately. For example, the one about China: the prediction is “The great firewall can no longer prevent Chinese people from accessing global information”. If China is continuing to strengthen its censorship practices, this is not true as of today. I’m uploading a picture with higher resolution. Comment only the ones that would be considered true. Don’t comment on the ones that have not happened… most of those are very easy to spot
3. **Patients are monitored from their beds by doctors abroad (2013)**: Telemedicine and remote monitoring have indeed grown, especially during the COVID-19 pandemic.
4. **You can get meat that’s been printed from a 3D printer (2013-2015)**: Yes, 3D-printed meat and other foods have been developed, though they are not widespread in commercial use as of 2022.
5. **High resolution eye implants become widely available (2017)**: While there have been advances in ocular implants, they haven’t become “widely available” in the mainstream sense.
6. **Your computer has a sense of smell (2017)**: This hasn’t become mainstream. There are sensors and technologies that can detect certain chemicals or odors, but they aren’t commonly found in personal computers.
7. **Many humans wear low-powered wearable devices (2018)**: Yes, wearable technology like smartwatches and fitness trackers have become very popular.
8. **The USA is predominantly bilingual (2022)**: As of 2022, the USA is not predominantly bilingual, although many people do speak multiple languages.
9. **Land in/around Chernobyl is developed as a national park (2037)**: As of 2022, the Chernobyl area remains largely restricted, though it has become a tourist attraction. It hasn’t been developed as a national park.
10. **Cars are an unusual sight in many cities (2040)**: This hasn’t happened by 2022. While there’s a push towards sustainable transport and more pedestrian-friendly cities, cars remain prevalent.
11. **The first cloned humans have been born (2072)**: As of 2022, human cloning for reproductive purposes remains illegal and ethically controversial in many countries, and no cloned humans have been born.
12. **A human being has lived to 150 (2145)**: As of 2022, this hasn’t happened. The confirmed record for human longevity is 122 years.
These are just a few of the predictions from the infographic. Remember, predictions are based on the best knowledge and assumptions at the time and may not always come to pass. It’s fascinating to see what people in the past thought the future might hold!

🤖 Got it! Based on the clearer image and focusing only on the predictions that are considered true as of January 2022:😎 Facebook has been overtaken as the biggest social network. You overlooked that one.
1. **Patients are monitored from their beds by doctors abroad (2013)**: Telemedicine and remote health monitoring have grown, especially in response to the COVID-19 pandemic. Technologies that allow for remote patient monitoring have been integrated into healthcare practices.
2. **Many humans wear low-powered wearable devices (2018)**: Wearable technology, such as smartwatches and fitness trackers, have become widespread and are commonly used by many people worldwide.
3. **A successful voyage to Mars has taken place (2022)**: As of 2022, while there have been successful robotic missions to Mars, no manned mission has landed on Mars. So, this is not true.
The rest of the predictions either have not come to pass or the timeframe for their predicted occurrence has not yet been reached.
Regarding 2., the text in the infographic says that wearable devices record, store and index every conversation users have. While that is not technically infeasible, that is not reasonably happening right now for any person in the planet. No one has their smartwatch set in listen mode to record every conversation they have, that’s not efficient.
Regarding 1. The infographic says “patients are prescribed medical apps by their doctors.” I’m not sure what that means exactly, but it’s not the same as what you said
Regarding 3. You are right, that prediction has not come true.
Can you reevaluate your response and list only the predictions that have objectively come true?

🤖 Of course, I apologize for the oversight. Let me reevaluate the provided image and list the predictions that have objectively come true as of January 2022:😎 Now can you write a good alt text that describes the infographic in less than 1,000 characters?
1. **”The Great Firewall can no longer prevent Chinese people from accessing global information” (2013)**: While China’s “Great Firewall” remains robust, there are many individuals in China who use VPNs and other means to bypass internet restrictions. However, this doesn’t mean the Great Firewall is ineffective; it’s still a significant barrier.
2. **”Facebook is overtaken as the biggest social network” (2016)**: This prediction is debatable. Facebook (now known as Meta Platforms, Inc.) remains one of the largest social media platforms in the world by user count. However, platforms like YouTube, WhatsApp, and WeChat also have massive user bases. It largely depends on how one defines “social network.”
The other predictions provided in the infographic for the years leading up to 2022 either have not materialized as described or are debatable in their accuracy. The ones I’ve listed are closer to being true, but even these are open to interpretation based on specifics and definitions.

“Infographic titled ‘Tomorrow’s World’ showing predictions from 2013 for future events in areas of computing, politics, science, society, and technology. The timeline spans from 2013 to 2112. Predictions are depicted as icons connected by a winding path, with odds given for each event’s likelihood. Examples include: ‘The Great Firewall can no longer prevent Chinese people from accessing global information’ (2013) and ‘A human being lives to 150 years old’ (2112). The background alternates between shades of blue, and sources for the predictions are listed at the bottom.”
