Future SuperHuman
Future Superhuman explores how the coming convergence of bio-engineering, genetics, and microchip informatics will result in a new human body of the future. One that will allow us to grow back limbs, manufacture organs, attain the mental powers of a super-genius and live to 150 and beyond.

Extreme Tomorrow
Venture to the farthest edges of science, where invisibility, teleportation and super-strength will give us seemingly impossible powers and capabilities.
Episode 3 • Jan 15, 2009
Future Danger
The world of tomorrow holds many new dangers that will threaten our lives: population explosion will stretch our natural resources, creating food and water shortages on a global scale; terrorism will reach new levels that will test our security systems like never before; and even technology designed to help us could end up hurting us, when machines reach human intelligence levels and begin to think for themselves. From robot revolutions to asteroid attacks, we'll need a whole new arsenal of smart tools and strategies to battle these deadly threats. Technology is already evolving to address our most terrifying future fears.
Episode 4 • Aug 05, 2008
Future Life on Earth
This explores the many ways technology is going to change our lives in the next 30 years. We will build cities that float, commute to work at the touch of a button, fly automated vehicles, and double our lifespans. Meet the scientists and see the technologies that will bring us to the edge of a whole new way of life: NextWorld.
Episode 5 • Jan 29, 2009
Future Intelligence
Soon, we will be able to build computers with artificial intelligence and processing power that rivals the human brain. Intelligence will be everywhere, embedded in our clothing, our vehicles and homes. Intelligent robots will serve us - until they don't feel like doing so anymore. And what happens then...?
Episode 6 • Sep 02, 2008
Future Cars
Future Cars puts you in the driver's seat of super-charged vehicles that can go faster than the speed of sound, morph from a streamlined roadster to a luxury sedan on voice command, and cruise over land or underwater.
Episode 7 • Sep 18, 2008
FutureFlight
Future Flight explores the world of flying to come, with a look at shape-shifting planes, top-secret military aircraft, jets with self-healing wings, and flying craft based on jellyfish.
Episode 8 • Feb 12, 2009
Future Metro
Go inside the networked intelligence of tomorrow's urban transportation systems. We'll examine personal rapid transit, stackable cars and underground automated highways.
Episode 9 • Sep 17, 2008
FutureShips
If you think you've already seen every way a boat can move across the water, think again. "Future Ships" goes inside invisible aircraft carriers, mega-yachts, personal submarines and craft capable of changing appearance on the high seas.
Episode 10 • Mar 05, 2009
Future Trains
Most people think of the train as a 19th century relic -but for visionaries around the world, the potential of trains is unlimited, and may be the key to solving our most stubborn problems. New designs and technologies will bring us trains that travel at jet speed, that float above tracks made from pure air, and that tunnel right through the planet. Meet the innovators who are creating hydrogen-powered trains, magnetic levitation trains, fluffy tracks, and tubular rails. And in the distant future, you may even ride a gravity train that cuts though the earth to get you anywhere on the planet in under an hour.
Episode 11 • Jan 04, 2009
Future Megatropolis
In the future, will the Earth become one giant city? By the year 2050, it's projected that 75% of the population will be living in urban areas. And that number will go up further. But these future megacities will be radically different. They will generate their own power locally, without burning fossil fuels. Sky Farms will feed the urban population. And building surfaces will become digital, becoming a new form of interactive media. Roads and structures will be paved with miniature networked sensors, creating a city alive with computer intelligence. New construction techniques will allow instant cities to spring up where none existed before. We'll even develop entire cities that can float on the seas. But perhaps the biggest megacities will be the ones inside our computers, as more people commute to work in the Virtual World
Episode 12 • Mar 19, 2009
Future Radical Vehicles
The 20th century gave us cars, planes and spaceships. But the next generation of vehicles will defy our expectations in every way. We'll commute to work in boat-cars. Our cars will stretch to fit more people, get 3,000 miles per gallon and protect us from accidents with infrared sensors. Imagine vehicles so fast, the speed limit will become 300 miles per hour. These amazing innovations will even re-define how many wheels we need to stay mobile: four, three, two, one... even none at all. Buckle up - because tomorrow's radical designs will take you on the ride of your life.
Episode 13 • Mar 26, 2009
Future Homes
In the future, technology will transform our homes into dynamic living spaces that adapt to our every need. Intelligent home managers will monitor everything from the children to the morning traffic. The mailbox will screen your incoming packages, and your fridge will reorder its own groceries. You'll never have to worry about cleaning the floors or even cooking a meal, because robots will do it for you. Worried about the environment or economy? Green homes will purify their own air and generate their own power. Future homes will be marvels of design, constantly adapting to your life in motion.
Episode 14 • Dec 31, 1969
Future Fun
The future is going to be fun. An explosion of new forms of entertainment is on the horizon, from virtual vacations to supercharged thrill rides. You'll watch television in three-dimension, or step into a holodeck, where you'll participate in movies alongside digital actors. You'll play games using your brainwaves and step into virtual worlds that will feel just as real as you want them to. But your fun won't only be digital. New technologies will let even ordinary people explore the sea floor or climb the worlds' highest peaks. You'll even be able to check into a space hotel and watch zero-gravity sports.
