The Future This Week: Delivery Drones, Cancer, and Robot Translators

In The Future This Week, Serious Wonder straps on its universal translator in search of this week’s headlines of the future, from a recent breakthrough in curing cancer to the development of robot translators. Whether we’re replacing vehicles that rely on oil for those who embrace electric or we’re filling our skies with delivery drones, the future is only one step away.

Breakthrough after breakthrough is apparent in our day and age in the fields of science and technology. The future is becoming increasingly clearer as we continue moving forward. What this means for our future generations is unclear, because we’re only now taking our first steps towards a more mature civilization. Whatever does happen, I’m optimistic to see us come out on top. Welcome to the future!
