The existing exponential development of information processing driven technologies is going to have very soon enormous impacts on all major aspects of society. Due to that, what we can currently expect to happen in 100-500 years, in many important areas of society, especially in science, technology, medicine,..., if the current rate of development is sustained, is going to happen actually within next 20-50 years.The goal of the lecture is to provide a visionary, but as well grounded as possible, analysis of what we can reasonably expect, and why, in the (very) near future, especially due to the exponential developments in all information processing and communication driven technologies, nanotechnology, genetics, non-biological (artificial) intelligence and robotics as well as in fighting death. Informatics, once properly and sufficiently broadly and deeply understood is going to play by that the key role and help society to deal with its current two main megachallenges.The lecture should be of interest and importance to all those interested to learn frameworks, tools, methods, tasks and main challenges they and society as the whole will face in the near future. To understand that should be for anyone not only very interesting, but actually much needed for knowing how to prepare oneself for long future carrier in in enormously fast changing circumstances.

Osnova

1. Introduction. Why and how we need/can forsee future? Old and new mega-challenges of science, technology and informatics.2.Evolution. From biological to non-biological (technological) evolution and their merge. Enormous expected impacts of the merge ot the biological and non-biological intelligence.3. Exponential developments in information processing and communication technologies and their impacts on science, technology and the rest of society4.New perception of informatics and its grand challenges. Informatics as a merge of scientific, engineering, methodological and application informatics. New perception of the scientific informatics and its grand challenges.5. Impulses and roads to a new perception of informatics.6. New perception of the technological informatics and its grand challenges.7. New, informatics-driven methodology for science, technology, and actually for all areas of society.8. Modelling, simulation and visualisation - tools, problems and power.9. Recent developments in understanding of human brains and minds.10. GNR (G - genomics, N - nanotechnology, R (+AI) - robotics). - I. G + N11. GNR revolution - II. Robotics and artificial intelligence. Long hhistory, hot outcomes, big dangers.12. Singularity - life after (2045?) a merge of biological and non-biological evolution.12. Longevity - Can we fight death? How (much). Lif etill/after 150?!
