2057 was a Speculative Documentary and Docudrama which aired on the Discovery Channel in 2007. Three episodes attempted to predict what technology and society would be like in the titular year. Each episode had a separate fictional plot, interspersed with non-fictional segments showing the progress being made towards new technologies so far.The first episode, "The Body," was about medical technology, following a man who accidentally falls out of a window and is taken to a high-tech hospital.The second episode, "The City," focused on households and urban living in the future. The plot involved a boy named Paul Gater who releases his holographic shark pet into the city's network, unintentionally becoming a virus.The third and final episode, "The World," involved issues of an international nature, such as spaceflight, energy crises, and potential geopolitical conflicts. In the story, American and Chinese scientists are researching more efficient solar panels onboard a Space Elevator, while their governments end up on the verge of declaring war over the remaining fossil fuel reserves. | |

| 2057 / int_1b45acae | comment |
Post-Peak Oil: In the third episode, there is a global energy crisis as oil and natural gas are running out. Electricity and car usage are being rationed, and the United States and China have tensions over reserves in Central Asia. International researchers on a space elevator are on a race against time to develop solar panels that could effectively replace fossil fuels. | |

Hollywood Hacking | |

Hollywood Hacking: Paul uses his grandfather's old laptop to hack into the city's computer network to display his holographic shark pet as an advertisement, managing to do so by using "the internal system of the police department," which his mom works for. He even says "I'm in." | |

Flying Car: A sleek flying ambulance is shown in the first episode, landing near a man who fell out of a window. The Moller M400 Skycar is featured in a documentary segment (but as of 2021, it still has not "flown" without a tether and beyond a few meters above the ground). | |

Computer Virus | |
| 2057 / int_59673edd | comment |
Computer Virus: As Paul used his grandfather's laptop to upload his holographic shark to the city's network, he did not know that the laptop had an "ancient" virus that the city was not prepared to handle. Although Paul was the one who did the hacking, Paul's grandfather is blamed for this and gets into trouble with the police (again), including Paul's mother. He and his grandson head to the central city archive and the old communication headquarters to fix the problem. | |
