25 expert predictions about the future that will excite you

If the trends hold, there is nothing but good on the horizon.


The future looks pretty cool. Of course, long-term concerns about climate change andEncroach on robotic intelligence increases could give the average pause. But there are still many reasons to look to the future with great expectations. And it's not just a notice: the research conducted by the futurists and the reports produced by some of the world's most intelligent reflection groups indicate that, overall, the future is nothing but brilliant. Here are 25 reasons why.

1
Poor countries will not exist

Seems extremely extracted, but it is a prediction made by no other than Bill Gates, whostated that, "By 2035, there will be no poor countries." Although the recent swing towards nationalism and the protectionist policies by the rich worlds can seem to be an unlikely scenario, the greater trends have been a constant improvement in the average quality of life in the world and a constant eradication of extreme poverty that seems likely to continue. The World Bank, for what it's worth it,expect The number of people living in extreme poverty to decline at less than 3% of the population by 2030.

"Crabs in twentieth century leadership models become more apparent of the day," said Rohit Talwar, Steve Wells and Alexandra Whittington, leaders ofRapid future, a professional prospective firm specializing in the provision of key speeches, the education of leaders, research and consultation on the future emerge and the impacts of change for global customers. They give theExample of retail bumps that resist to experiment With new approaches to digital competition or authoritarian politicians.

"Faced with these toxic and obsolete strategies, we could see the emergence of new leadership models that focus on promoting continuous learning, encouraging the expression of the alternative views and increasing the commitment of a workforce and more informed population in debate and decision-making about the future way. "

Jump to come in transport

predicted technologies

The adoption of the acceleration of electric cars and autonomous vehicles will transform the transport world, according to the fast Future team. "The big cities and centers-centers are already harder and quieter as a result of the rise in electric and autonomous transport," they say. "With the prohibition of manually focused vehicles (with the exception of emergency and safety services) of major cities, road accidents and therefore injury and death involving road vehicles could reduce almost zero."

They add that there may also be a spectacular change in the property of the vehicles, the view of the residential streets packaged and the difficulty of finding parking stains becoming a thing of the past. However, if you think that flying cars will take you to heaven, sorry: it's one of the20 long-standing predicted technologies that will never happen.

5
Renewable energies will be cheaper and even more reliable

Despite dishes from certain neighborhoods, solar and other types of renewable energy continue to walk more and more cheap and ubiquitous. Like aReport of the Global Wildlife Fund Predicted: it is "technically feasible to provide all those on the planet in 2050 with the energy they need, with 95% of this energy from renewable sources."

6
Gender equality will be (at least near) a reality

According to a report of theCopenhagen consensus on human challenges, while the exclusion of women at work resulted in the loss of 17% of global GDP in 1900, it will be reduced to only 4% by the year 2050, thanks to: "[R] wages and The rise in the participation of women in the labor force increases the hand, involving that there are gains from the women's movement society in the paid work sector at these times. "A university study of Oxford Also predicted that, in the same year, women and men of the entire developed world would largely make an equal share of household and attentive work for children, with greater equality between the genders over the years.

With the progress made in psychiatric drugs, it is only an additional step in imagining this scenario, described by Alex Ayad, responsible for the practice of technical prosperity of the technology of Imperial College: "recently, direct brain stimulation techniques, such as optogenetics, have not just read, but also writing single neuron information, "revealTelegraph.

But if the data transfer rates have been slow, it changes quickly. "One could foresee a new and extraordinary world where there is a virtual market to exchange high quality emotions, where artists looking for a particularly high mix of melancholy, or actors who need to channel regret or compassion for their Next game, could buy emotions online. ," he says.

According to Tamar Kasriel, Founder and Director General of Futureal, buildings will become energy efficient and autonomous. "A powerful mix of meaning and / or fear will have continued the dynamics of increasing efficiency and reduce the cost of alternative power sources",he saysTelegraph, adding in a reference toBack to the future. "The solar panels will be constructed in many different building materials, so that the entire Hill valley can spread out discretely and clean. "

Kasriel adds that he expects medical and technological advances allow individualsEdit and improve More practical and affordable, with "prosthetic add-ons and improvements [moving] later in the possible and daily field". Heexpects that "Just the right food cocktail / medicine to be the best of what they can be for the day to come, based on a typical micro-performance analysis of the day just left."

10
We will have bright cities

While "smart cities" that adapt to data on data and that the behavior of its citizens has become a reality (or at least close to it), Ayad suggests that we are not too far from the buildings and Infrastructures itself responding to the behavior of residents. "All new synthetic forms of life, or biological machines, consisting of living cells designed with bacteria, fungi and algae will grow and evolve with the changing needs of the inhabitants of a building", "it predicts, with living materials blending transparently with the architecture of man to create a healthier and more apparent urban experience.

11
And more human cities

The fast Future team sees a similar evolution in cities, but as a result that technology helps create better connections and meaning of the community among citizens.

"As the nature of work, jobs and purchasing changes radically, we could see an accelerated pace in reuse of the major buildings of the city center and retail at the residence and leisure", they predict. "The very technologies that have helped to change our work habits and stores (internet, more and more powerful mobile and portable devices, IA, robotics, IOT, drones and autonomous vehicles) have also provided technology solutions for planning, The conversion and life effectively in buildings previously used as offices and shops. We could see the emergence of a model where the communities of people have taken over the cities and are able to live harmoniously with favorable technologies in a truly connected way . "

"They can be used in everything from Novelty Gimmicks to make construction sites unsightly and apparently" electricity stations "," Ayer predicts.

13
Our clothes will be high technology

Futurist Ray Kurzweil describes in his bookThe singularity is close How our clothes will be more technologically sophisticated and will allow us to make us work in a high technology world. It predicts that "computers will disappear as separate physical objects, with screens built in our glasses and our electronic products woven in our clothes."

The rapid future team expects to see a more complete embrace of natural dyes to meet the needs of the mass market for clothing and textiles, and a larger boost of long-term chemicals. "The idea that the future could see the use of chemicals less harmful is good for the planet and the consumer," they say, pointing to arecentFast business article on the subject.

15
Intelligent technology will extend to the moods

"This can be done in" harvest "facial expressions, body language, heart rate, voice, etc." he predicts. "If you type text in a computer, the computer can consider the speed you type, decide that you are stressed and concluding that this is not the best time to allow you to read negative emails."

At a time when international tensions seem to stay at the height, it might seem optimistic, at best. But the experts believe that, by 2050, the number of countries involved in the inland war will fall by more than 50%, according to a report published inQUARTERLY INTERNATIONAL STUDIES. Matt Ridley, author ofThe optimistic rational, agreed that the future would bring a decline in armed conflict, saying to the future global society that "I expect the decline of violence and the continued war. The war will be rare but not absent."

17
Literacy will increase

Futurist Ian Pearson expects just a matter of time before our brains are wired to computers to help our brain run faster. "We can expect it to be 2050 for many people,"BBC tells. "By 2075, most people in the developed world will use an increase in the machine for their brain and, by the end of the century, just about everyone. If anyone else. The fact, you will have to compete. "

21
We can talk about many languages

With improved applications, special protective goggles or other similar devices, simultaneous translation will allow us totalk a wide range of languages without drawing a translation dictionary. AsThe Economistto explain, "A series of advertisements in recent months from sources as varied as Microsoft and String-Wax private inventors suggest that viable or even perfect simultaneous translation devices are now at hand."

22
We will have understood a nuclear fusion

Molecules

This combination of multiple atomic cores challenged scientists since the 1940s, but it will eventually change, according to Pearson. It argues that nuclear fusion "is probably [reached] by 2045 or 2050 and almost certain by 2100. It is largely predicted that we will achieve it." But he adds that "what difference it will depend on what other energy technologies. We could also see a growth in shale gas or massive solar energy facilities. I do not think wind energy will be around."

Although the devastating results of climate change are starting to show, engineers have been at work creating a workaround solution for floods likely to occur as a result of the activities of the man: floating cities. For example, the Belgian architect Vincent Callebaut rose autonomy "Lilypad"Capable of holding 50,000 inhabitants, which would guarantee not only the survival of humanity, but also cool, but if you doubt such a project that can come to pass, just look at the progress of Jag Mandir (photo), in Pichola Lake, India, to see that isolated aqueal communities can indeed be durable.

Two words: Space lifts

"[S] These elevators will certainly be around, and although" cheap "is a relative term, it will certainly be much cheaper than the development of conventional space," Pearson said. "This will create a strong acceleration in the development of space and tourism will be an important area, but I doubt that costs will be low enough for most people to try." And if you are curious to know what we are going (or, more likely, will not find) in the big beyond, here is the21 mysteries on space that no one can explain.
