Knapping
Knapping was one of the earliest forms of communication. It was when people carved into stone to transfer knowledge. While it wasn't easy to simple to learn it was essential to survival. Knapping took a long time to advance over time and it took decades to really develop this technology, but it was extremely important in the transferring of knowledge in the early centuries.

Moore's Law
Gordon Moore predicted that every 2 years, computing would double dramatically in power. This helped to motivate the development of technology as the decades continued and led to the creation of countless new technology creations.

Facial Action Coding System
Paul Ekman developed the FACS to help computers better understand and human expressions and emotions. The computer system looks at the muscles and movements in the user's face and processes in a way the computer program can analyze. This system helped influence the creation of other coding systems that would develop AI technology.

By looking at the emotions of the watcher's faces, to better create ads and the kinds of emotions that the ads are going to express.A challenge that Affective is currently trying to overcome is accurately analyzing the emotions of those in different cultures.

Weather & Environment
In 10 years, I think AI will develop enough to where it can predict weather and space events that will occur months to years in the future. We will be able to accurately predicts when natural disasters occur, how much damage they will do, and how long they will last. The predictions will be more accurate and will be done farther in the future. -
The Future
In 100 years, I think that everyone will have person robot/AI that can transform, do any tasks at our command, and help to heal us. They will be able to understand us and our emotions and help us combat feelings of loneliness and depression to better combat the mental health issues in the US. They can transform into things small technological objects like charges and lights and tools. And they would be able to scan our bodies, diagnose us, and provide a solution to keep us healthy.
