What would you see and experience if the clocks rolled forward 50 years? In a unique blend of drama and science, this three-part series shows you the world of tomorrow. Will we have flying cars? Will advances in medicine help us stay young forever? What about "printing" custom-made vital organs? What will our cities look like? What will tomorrow's wars be about? Will we have robots helping around the house? Will solar power be the new oil?
Supported by the world's leading scientists and research institutes, we embark on a quest to answer some of society's most fundamental questions and reveal the dramas of tomorrow's world along the way. State-of-the-art computer graphics in combination with a dynamic story line will create a world usually only seen in feature films, but with the accuracy and relevance of a documentary. This series is all about opening the window of our future based on science fact, not science fiction.
The Body
Flying ambulances? Intelligent clothing? Custom-built organs from scratch? Robotic surgery? Learn about today's medical breakthroughs that will extend our lives in 50 years.

uhm... apparently nothing. your links don't go nowhere...
It is fixed.
k, thx. 
good documentary but they forgot one other fuel! The magnetic fields of the earth itself. Google teether to find out more. We cannot rely on fossil fuels or any other fuel other than the very essence of the earth itself.
despite the progress, that would be an awful world to live in...

The Body", predicts medical advances from robotic surgery to flying ambulances. "The City", examines the advances futuristic technology will bring to the home such as humanoid robots and holographic pets. Finally, "The World" is probably the most complex episode of the three, discussing topics as varied as satellites that transmit data at extreme speed using lasers, to more political topics such as probable future geopolitical scenarios involving China and the United states as two opposing superpowers and the ramifications of a world-wide energy crisis with solar power positioned as a likely candidate to relieve the world's energy needs.

The future is awesom ... man i can't wait for the after of the upcoming 50 years.

After the first six minutes of the first episode, all I could think was that I'm glad I'll be dead by then... I'm sure people in 2057 will think this film is quaint.
gotsta make it past 2012 first!

I'm sure they'll think its total bollocks as well. In 50 years they'll still be millions of people living in squalor and killing each other and taking drugs. I wouldn't bother with the clever vests for soldiers either. Vapourising soldiers with one shot will be more the point.

OK, I used the google search link (for QSS) and all of the results say the previous links for this are archived, so maybe this thread won't get merged this time.

sorry :x
sorry :x
Am I the only one that thinks this is a little bit wishfull thinking and alot of bullshit?
when this happens I will sell my right leg.
2057 is a Discovery Channel television program hosted by theoretical physicist Michio Kaku. It premiered on January 28, 2007 and attempts to predict what the world will be like in 50 years based on current trends. The show takes the form of a docu-drama with three separate episodes, each having informative stories ingrained into the plot.
The Body - Watch
The first episode predicts medical advances from robotic surgery to flying ambulances. The shows presentation plot shows a man falling out of a window on to the street below, and being cared for in a futuristic hospital.
The City - Watch
"The City", examines the advances futuristic technology will bring to the home such as humanoid robots and holographic pets. The storyline has Paul, a thirteen year old boy accidentally releasing his holographic friend into the cities computer program, halting major city functions and electronics.
The World - Watch
"The World" discusses topics as varied as satellites that transmit data at extreme speed using lasers, to more political topics such as probable future geopolitical scenarios involving China and the United States as two opposing superpowers and the ramifications of a world-wide energy crisis with solar power positioned as a likely candidate to relieve the world's energy needs. It features an American and a Chinese man in a space elevator laboratory discovering how to make more efficient solar panels but being disrupted by their respective countries' political friction.
Nice interactive website about the show - Here

Sorry mate, don`t mean to make you work hard. Everything was running slow and I was having a hard time with the search`s.
naw, no problem. 
interesting to say the least.....btw Wheres all the greenery? 
I still have yet to watch this, but take in mind what people in the 1950s thought we would have in 2000. Flying cars and whatnot. Just take that into consideration.

I do find this infinitely fascinating!
