Future of Technology and Science as a Passion

Dear Readers,

In this short story, I will introduce you to my upcoming book Technology Horizons 2050 and Beyond: Emerging Technologies Shaping the Next 50 Years of Human and Machine Evolution (ISBN: 9798231583355).

As someone who lives mindfully in the present, I also venture beyond my comfort zone, drawing lessons from history's patterns and envisioning the possibilities of the future. It is this balance between grounded awareness and exploratory curiosity that allows me to enjoy life while also gaining a deeper understanding of our nature.

What will the world look like in 2050 when emerging technologies in biology, artificial intelligence, quantum computing, and space exploration converge into one interconnected fabric of human and machine evolution?

In Technology Horizons 2050 and Beyond, I draw on five decades of work in technology, cognitive science, and global innovation to predict the coming five decades.

Yet this vision began far earlier, rooted in a childhood where I cultivated extraordinary imagination through cognitive enhancement methods, learned to think beyond the box, and developed the ability to view reality from both the microscopic and telescopic scales.

This dual perspective allows me to link scientific precision with metaphysical insight, creating forecasts that connect present-day breakthroughs with their long-term implications.

Going beyond technical analysis, the book is a synthesis of rigorous research, scenario planning, and intuitive pattern recognition, an approach that anticipates shifts others may overlook. I map the future of technology not only through the lens of engineering and economics, but also through the cultural, ethical, and philosophical questions it raises.

You will explore thirty interconnected domains shaping the future such as: regenerative medicine and biotechnology, bioprinting and nanotechnology, advanced genetic engineering, the Internet of Bodies and planetary connectivity, intelligent automation and the future of work, artificial general intelligence, neuromorphic computing, quantum computing and AI integration, smart cities of the future, tokenized economies, immersive realities, space colonization and planetary defense.

Each chapter follows a three-stage foresight model - 2030 Outlook, 2040 Transition, and 2050 Vision - providing a roadmap from today's innovations to the transformative systems that will redefine life, work, and human potential over the next half-century.

This book goes beyond speculative science fiction. It is grounded in current research, industry developments, and practical foresight, making it a credible and indispensable resource for thought leaders, entrepreneurs, artists, technologists, policymakers, and philosophers who seek to understand the future of human-machine evolution.

Whether you are building the next breakthrough company, shaping policy for emerging technologies, investing in frontier science, or exploring the deeper meaning of human evolution in an age of machines, this book offers both a strategic guide and a creative provocation.

Emerging technologies have been my research interest for a long time, and it is also my focus area for the content ecosystem. For example, my website was recognized by the Thinkers360 annual leaderboard for the 50 Thought-Leading Companies on Emerging Technology for 2023. And it was recognized as one of the 50 innovators of 2025.

The future will not wait for us to be ready. It will unfold in the minds of those who dare to see it before it arrives, who can stand at the intersection of science and imagination, and who dare to turn the improbable into the inevitable. This book is an invitation to be among them.

Stay tuned as I will share some chapters here and daily post one chapter to my Technology Excellence and Leadership publication on Substack to delight members from the technology and science community.

This book is an extension of Pscyhology of Emerging Technology, covering more technical, scientific, and business aspects.

What Is the Psychology of Technology, and Why Do We Need It More in This AI Era

By understanding how emerging technologies shape our minds, we can reduce digital stress, strengthen mental health, and…medium.com

The recent Whitehouse AI Action Plan and other frenetic movements in many developed countries for the utmost focus on AI and quantum computing as a race, which can have a significant impact on our future, inspired me to turn my psychology of technology manuscript into a book that anyone can gain insights from.

For more than four decades, I have worked at the intersection of cognitive science, neuroscience, technology, and psychology as a researcher, educator, and technology leader in global enterprises. I have witnessed firsthand how emerging technologies both expand and challenge the way we think, decide, learn, and live.

The Psychology of Emerging Technology is the culmination of this lifelong work. It defines and fills a critical gap in an emerging discipline: understanding how rapidly evolving tools, from Big Data and IoT to AI, cloud ecosystems, virtual reality, and wearable technology, reshape cognition, behavior, and mental well-being at individual, organizational, and societal levels.

Grounded in real-world leadership experience and academic research, I have written this book for PhD students, researchers, policymakers, technologists, enterprise leaders, and critical thinkers who seek more than surface-level commentary. Through case studies, cognitive models, and tested frameworks, it blends the precision of science with the insight of lived practice.

At its core is my MINDTECH™ framework, which stands for Mapping Innovation, Integrating Neuroscience, Navigating Data, Designing Technology, Testing Ethics, Empowering Cognition, Cultivating Humanity, and Harnessing Futures.

This original framework unites technical imperatives with cognitive and ethical outcomes, making it as relevant to AI architects as it is to educators, policy experts, and superlearners.

Supporting MINDTECH™ are two additional frameworks:

Image belons to the author

MINDTECH™ framework by Dr Mehmet YildizS.P.A.R.K.S.™: Scalable, Predictive, Adaptive, Resilient, Knowledge-Driven, Secure. Links each technical requirement to measurable business and societal outcomes, ensuring solutions are robust, flexible, and trustworthy.

S.E.E. Model: Signal, Experience, Ethics. Guides technology assessment for the AI era, ensuring accurate signal interpretation, meaningful human experience, and responsible governance.

The Pillar Framework structures the book into four parts: Concepts, Systems, People & Practice, and Applications & Futures, while the SMART MIND Loop™ integrates cognitive optimization strategies, ensuring ideas are understood, retained, and applied.

You will explore:

· How social media rewires attention and emotional processing.

· Why immersive VR and digital therapeutics can both heal and harm.

· How AI systems influence trust in human–machine collaboration.

· The risks of algorithmic bias, privacy erosion, and inequitable access, and how to address them through design and governance.

· And it will include more topics in the psychology of technology domain.

The manuscript of Pscyhology of Emerging Technology is featured on Google Books.

I am pleased that my superlearning book, How I Accelerated My Learning Effortlessly for a Happier Life, is now #1 in the Psychology of Technology. Showing signals of an apparent demand for this synthesis. Ready for preorder coming in March 2026 - Early access to beta readers on my own platform - ISBN: 9798231091799

Readers are seeking credible science translated into daily practice, framed with dignity and practical relevance. Many works focus narrowly on a single theory.

My approach brings these elements together into a usable structure that bridges the gap between what research shows and how learners work.

This is why the Superlearners Community will grow rapidly. It offers a tested, ethical, and sustainable way to use technology as a partner in human learning, not a distraction from it.
