25 crazy predictions over the next 25 years
Which futurists and other experts see in their crystal balls.
Many can happen in 25 years. A quarter of a century ago, "mobile phones" meant that wireless fixed lines and Nirvana overcame graphics. Anyone anticipating in 1993 what life could be life 2018 would probably miss the brand in some ways, but these trends that were closely monitoring could besurprisingly close How things have actually trembled.
To help predict what the future could bring, we contacted futurists, technological experts and others whose work is to keep an eye on where things go and how things could look at long term. Some of their predictions could surprise you. Take some extra steps in the future with the30 the craziest predictions on future experts say they go.
1 The houses will be hacked
As the internet of things (Iod) led to a wider range of our appliances, our electronic products and other aspects of our lives related to the world online, it will also open our security violations. Just as we need to show viruses and hacks to our computers, we will soon have to do the same for our homes.
"While consumers can not be physically locked from their home because manual locks still have to be replaced and can be a backup, they will live a" home invasion "of a kind of digital," says Jason Hart, Vice -President and CTO of data protection of the security companyGemalto. "Specific devices will be held for the ransom, devices connected to the Internet will provide a way for personal data for blackmail purposes. Even assets stored in the cloud will not be safe: with owner data, associated with Lax security checks, the pirates have an open door to steal everything, music and videos to Bitcoins. "Does it's crazy? To verifyThat's what life could look like 100 years from now.
2 Without driver will be the norm
Despite the growing pains that self-conduct cars have crossed these first steps, technology does not seem likely to go anywhere and will probably become the norm in the coming years, according to Chris Nielsen, Founder and Evp Experience Design for Technology businessLevatas, as well as a futuristic.
"Most of the leading manufacturers of motor vehicles such as Ford, Nissan Renault, Daimler and have determined to ship driverless car options in the next 2-4 years, most of them by 2020", highlights. he. "It means that in 25 years, driverless car experience has matured in a safe, ubiquitous and finally convenient option."
For these reasons, it expects car-free cars to saturate the market in a quarter of a century and will have built a trace of safety and efficient functioning that laws can even be transmitted to the removal of cars originally (relatively dangerous) of public roads.
"We are still rarely rare here in 2018, but much tends to happen in 25 years," he says. While you are always blocked, drive your own car (sigh), make sure youRule the road with these intelligent driving strategies.
3 In fact, it will be a stigma to drive your own vehicle
Nikolas Badminton, a futuristic, the author and the researcher who speak about subjects relating to the impact of exponential technology expect not only the autonomous vehicles become common, but "it will almost be a stigma to own and drive Your own vehicle ".
It adds that this will also have positive effects, such as the reduction of the stress of travel, growth in carpooling, and even "shared vehicles used as meeting rooms by companies".
4 The walks will be sponsored by companies
Another side advantage that can become autonomous vehicles is that they will be cheaper, even free, but you will probably have to listen to a corporate message to enjoy them.
"Your autonomous vehicle [autonomous vehicle] can give you this route for almost nothing if Google Waymo sells your trip to an advertiser" predictedBenjamin Y. Clark, PhD, Professor of Planning, Public Policy and Management at the University of Oregon. "Your morning ride can be sponsored by Dunkin Donuts -" I would like to stop and have a coffee on your way? "- And your return home sponsored by Taco Bell." For an even bigger jump in the future,That's what life could look like 200 years from now.
5 Money gets smarter
"By combining the power of the IA and the Blockchain, the concept of money could evolve into electronic chips with many more types of negotiable assets in the only" currency ", predicts Rohit Talwar, CEO of Futurist Research CompanyRapid future.
It sets the example we could earn officials from our employers who can be redeemed to retailers and airlines and, as micro-credits to carry out workplace training or school learning tasks.
"Instead of simply loving a trail of a musician, we can now make a micro-payment to them with a fraction of a token," said Talwar. "This evolution of cash and cryptocurrencies towards a universal means of exchange could mean the end of the treasury and foreign exchange markets. To survive with your cash flow now, follow these52 simple ways to be smarter with money in 2018.
6 Currency Will Go Business
While Cryptocurrencies as Bitcoin took off in the last two years, badminton expects other currencies, focused on the brand, rising, especially large high-tech companies.
"Some people will use these currencies in their daily lives, think Facebook Dollars, Google Dollars, Wal-Mart Dollars, Disney Silver," says Badminton. And to learn more about avant-garde technology, do not miss these20 facts that you ever knew about your smartphone.
7 Say goodbye to privacy
A quarter of a century ago, the most paranoid ideas about the surveillance and invasion of privacy would probably not have enthusiastically predicted how we would be in hand on personal data for public limits and Minor data. But Reg Harnish, a man at theNational Cybersecurity Institute and Chief Executive OfficerGREYCASTLE SECURITY, Predicted that we have much more to fall on the collection of the keys to our data.
"We already see the erosion of privacy today, with Facebook and other organizations that sell all our most private data to the most offering," he says. "But, during the next quarter of a century, maybe even earlier, I believe that private life we know that it will be gone. We will talk about privacy as we are talking about rotating phones today, we are not. Is it a good thing? I do not know each other all. But, little withdrawal of the internet, to cope with the reality that nothing will be more of a secret ".
8 More security gets central
But this loss of privacy will not be taken up. Thanks to the technology becoming a greater part of our life, security issues will also increase.
"What has changed in 2017, and will increase next year, is an increased awareness of data security and confidentiality between consumers in general and business leaders, too," says Sandor Palfy, Technical Director identity management and access toLogmein, Password manager managersLast passage. "There is no doubt for consumers and businesses that data violations and security issues are no longer an anomaly, but will continue to be the new normality. »
For this reason, Palfy anticipates that companies will need to invest an even more amount in tools and training that strengthen their organizations and security employees.
9 3D printing will be huge
Expect to see further in 3D print development, especially since technology becomes more affordable and easy to manage.
"There are few more exciting modern technologies than 3D printing," saysNichole Elizabeth Demere, A customer service and expert SaaS and author ofPlaybook to develop your SaaS. "You can activate filament in a stein functional beer, GOO in a remote control car, or build a model scale of your living room to know where to put your sofa. Or, you can build a 3D printable hand prosthesis that can take for less than ten dollars, as the E-Cote Project is for children in need ". And to know more surprising, here isThe facts you always thought that are not true.
10 Artificial everywhere
Artificial intelligence will become more widespread, virtually affecting all areas of our health, education, entertainment, financial services and more depending on the Talwar.
"Intelligent systems can handle our social life, help us select ideal partners for dating, marriage and reproduction, monitor our health in connection with our doctors, and personalize our education if the content is delivered in the way we learn Better, "he says. "Technology will make legal decisions to the Tribunal, the determination of our benefit payments, the politicians verification of the facts, and the power of the transport sector. »
11 Chatbots Will Rise
Demere is also waiting to see growth in ChatBots in customer service and marketing.
"Chatbots are going on to become the next big thing," she says. "If you like to be at the top of the trends in marketing, you go a need. The biggest adoption of bots is with consumers aged between 18 and 35. But it is not ready to say consumers either to engage with bots not by a long shot ".
12 We will have double digital
Wood Andy, President of the Computer Vision and Facial Animation CompanyCubic movement, Provides that everyone will have its own online avatar.
"In the next 25 years, everyone can have an online personality" Double'-IT Digital does not need to be creature, age or specific sex, just like thePlayer ONE loan Film, "he says. "Every march of life, profession and social lifestyle will have access to a double-digital online."
13 Interact with digital people becomes the norm
Just as we got more used for ChatBots and talking to Alexa and Siri, we will soon put at ease to interact with fully digital characters.
"In 2024, we can all be interacting with digital humans in a way or otherwise, whether it is through helmets, films, television, games, shows and shows, or by directing the assistants Digital in our homes in real time, "says Wood.
14 Cinemas Vanish Will
As VR evolves more like a form of entertainment, the search for an immersive experience that attracts so many theaters can drive them instead of picking up VR helmets.
"The movie theaters disappear faster than Blockbuster," Wait for Andrew Selepak, Telecommunications Professor at the University of Florida.
Although VR is still in its infancy in many ways, it provides that in 25 years, we will all be watching movies and television in a virtual environment.
"We will have all the virtual reality devices to enjoy the latest version of any need to go to a current theater and sit on a chair to watch the movie in a 3D environment apartment," he adds. "Just like how streaming services have removed business video rental, virtual reality and video streaming will do the same thing in the theater. »
15 Go to college becomes a thing of the past
With more virtual experiences available online, especially in the field of education where online classrooms will evolve, youth will be more likely to stay near the house rather than going to university.
"The need for students to physically attend a university will become useless," says Selepak. "Universities will be more like television studios where teachers will deliver a conference on the equipment in front of a green screen for students to watch at home. This will lead to more young people living with their parents after the age of 18, but for the universities, just like with the advent of MTV, the video will replace the professor's star with those who are the most beautiful pretance and telegenic "
16 TECH PUSHBACK
With AR and become common VR and our world approaching aPlayer ONE loan kind of people, expect to see a lot of people grow against these invented realities.
"There will be a young person, the" anti-immersion "movement that totally avoids these technological developments, in favor of the connectivity of 1990/2000", predicts Zach Suchinm digital technology and expert in marketing and Chief Executive OfficerKNEW mark.
It will not necessarily be the average revolution, but a turn to the technology that is based on lived experience, such as live streaming.
"They trigger the conversation and action you look with others," says SuchInm. "They are timely, so they need a spectator paid attention when they missed it. Conferences, events, red carpets, sports, cultural events are all ripe for live streaming. Amplified with a call for action, they tend to 10x clicks drive than VSD ".
17 Anti-Trust Backlash
Just as the rapid expansion of technology will lead many to repel, it will also be the growth of media and high-tech companies inspire government intervention and review.
"The Department of Justice will receive anti-trust control to conduct hyper-regulation counter-intuitive against mergers of media and acquisitions," says SuchInm. But, as we have seen with the changes that occur with social media and more, the law is often a step behind what is happening in the industry, and SuchInm provides that "the government will not be able to Make it properly to regulate the pace of technology, AI development, antitrust violations, the monitoring of the FTC of advertisements, etc. »
18 Time Will Get Crazier
Extreme weather phenomena is likely to become the norm, with hurricanes, tsunamis, forest fires, and all the variety of other events with more important that have seven the frequency. Wes O'Donnell, Professor of Predictive Analysis at Baker College, warns that in the next 25 years we will see a "statistical increase in extreme weather events due to human-induced climate change. So, pick up some bags of sand and make sure you have paid for your insurance against floods.
19 The technological dependence will rise
In addition to being addicted to checking our phones, more and more of our daily lives will be provided by automation and the IA, the tasks and activities we thought that never before as expensive to tools of high technology.
"The Internet things means that our phones will soon be smart, but our cars, our refrigerators and all the rest of our house," says Selepak. "Our refrigerator will let Amazon know that we are out of the milk and that it will be delivered by a drone and will wait for us and our morning coffee before getting up in the morning and before our smart car takes us to work."
20 The employment landscape will transform
As IOT and IOT become the norm and retail continues to collapse, the landscape of employment will be remodeled in a major way - not all good.
"Unemployment will skyrocket," says Selepak. "The machines already replace the cashiers in grocery stores, Walmart and Lowes, and smart cars will replace the Uber drivers. Many blue-collar work will be replaced by machines that cost cheaper, will never save up and will never fall sick . This will leave millions of work and creates a huge tax burden on the government. "
21 Trigrin goes digital
Anyone who has lost a loved one in recent years may understand that the commemoration of someone has changed their era of social media, with Facebook pages becoming memories and places to share memories of the person, so that their positions and actions serving as a scrapbook of their lives. Journalist Danielle Radin, who provides social media management services for free for those who deceased as part ofGood years huge association, expects to see the demand for this growth.
"While social media continues over the next 25 years, there will be more need for digital commemalism," she says. "It will become a field like any other. When we dare, our digital footprint lives forever. It will be necessary to be people to handle that."
22 Intelligent cities
"An era marked by exponential changes found that asset ideas, radical jumps forward in the AI, increasingly efficient electrical propulsion units and the emergence of infrastructure of the city. Intelligent ", predicted Steve Wells, COO of future future. "These relatively smooth transitions have resulted in other changes in cities, including the removal of redundant traffic signals and remodeling of certain street intersections."
23 Artificial meat goes main public
Although the concept of artificial meat can seem disturbing today, it will probably become more widely accepted over the next 25 years because its benefits become more apparent.
"In vitro cloned meat could be another future solution to our food supply problems," says Helena Calle Helena Calle. "While laboratory cultivated meat can always deal with many challenges, such as aroma control, it also has many benefits such as fewer waste, less risk of viruses, reduced spatial requirements and reduce Emissions and environmental impacts among others. These advantages seem to prevail over the disadvantages and disadvantages of traditionally high livestock. "
24 Transformed food chain
Speaking of laboratory meat, Calle predicts that such innovations, as well as AI and vertical agriculture will lead to a transformation of the food chain that we know it.
"Hydroponic plants, fruits and vegetables can change agriculture as we know and help revolutionize the food industry," she said. "The overpopulation has major consequences, resulting in a lack of growing space and food in many parts of the world. The growing global population will require us to find creative solutions. Hydropered hydroponic farms on the sides of the buildings could be One of the solutions. "
25 Antibiotics will fail
While pathogens always become immune to current antibiotics available on the market, the pharmaceutical industry will have to become more creative and more innovative in their solutions.
"Over the next 25 years, is it possible that we lived" the end of antibiotics "(like theWorld Health Organization Put it in 2016)? Requests the Prospective Director of the Fast Future, Alexandra Whittington. " Fortunately, the microbial threat is welcomed with the development of advanced medicines, allowing medical researchers to explore new approaches to fight against superbecues. New strategies on the horizon range from genetic modification of implantable germs and semiconductors to discover new antibacterial agents in the soil. "
