First, choose you favorite color hues to color your world; from the colourscape, super lightweight and super strong houses emerge, honeycomb-structures inspired by abalone mollusc. The houses are furnished with furniture made from materials whose properties are similar to that of a super strong and flexible spider web. Their walls finished with self-cleaning pastels inspired by the structure of lotus leaves. Now, take a look through the window covered with a transparent photovoltaic cell that generates electricity for artificial intelligence based on neural networks. Imagine people riding whisper-quiet cars whose aerodynamic design imitates that of the hummingbird and whose bodies are coated with shark skin structured paint. You may also see centenarians jogging effortlessly along since their biological fitness is that of 30-year-olds. Nanorobots the size of a red blood cell travel in their bloodstream like safety inspectors who monitor and correct any health issues in the human body.
Hear the humming noise coming from the kitchen? Yep, you've just started the coffee machine. How come? You just thought of it. Try starting the A/C or your holographic TV or would you rather try and order room service by the sheer power of your mind?
Before it happens though, you might want to do some studying. The Faculty of Mechanical Engineering gives you plenty of opportunities to explore the frontiers of materials engineering, mechanical engineering, and automatic control and robotics. Or possibly more? Think about it... and soon enough, we might meet...
