While this prompt is concerned about how far technology must have gotten by that year, I am more concerned and calculating how old I would have become by then. Don't mind me.
I'd certainly be at that stage where I would tell much younger persons particularly those in their prime how life was much better in my time, how things were not as expensive, how the society had more morals and there was respect and order amd how music, how good music like the one I listened to when I was their age is no longer being made. I laugh. It's funny to me but I envision it. After all, I have come to the realization that it is a subconscious trait that is passed down.
Advancement wise? I'd be in awe of how the one in that day far surpasses the one we have now. But I'd be there to experience it still.
Technology.
Hmm!
First of, I look forward to that flying car. The same one as I have written in a previous post and just as I saw in the movie, Iwaju. Irrespective of cost, I should be able to afford it then, when I think it would be a luxury. I'm only imagining(assuming).
I digress.
If we look ok back to twenty years ago, we'd realize that things were not really much different. Of course, we've had some incremental changes but life was basically the same.
I could predict that the next twenty-six years to 2050 will advance at about the same rate.
The big change will be to electric cars, but, really, they will still be cars. The voice-powered digital assistance that lives inside our phone will be smarter. But life will not be that much different.
The last twenty years saw computers and electronics advance. The next twenty/twenty-six years might be time for advances in biotechnology and transportation.
In 2050, we can expect to see continued
advancements in artificial intelligence, with
machines becoming even more capable of
performing tasks that currently require human intelligence. We may also see the development of fully autonomous vehicles, as well as the integration of virtual and augmented reality in everyday life. Additionally, there will likely be advancements in energy storage and renewable energy technology, as well as in the field of biotechnology, such as in the area of gene editing, use of solar power and far more aaophisticated automated machines.Maybe.
2050, however we look at it, is not so far off. It was just days ago that we were in 2014, and in comparison to what our predictions of present-day was, not disregarding how far we have advanced, we haven't gotten to experiencing them as predicted or there were just inconsequential.
Innovations are coming up rapidly and we are always left amused by what comes to play, often defeating and exceeding our assumptions and expectations.
Finally, as regards, the human mindset, I think of more pragmatic and embracing evolution on it. However, it should not be dismissed that chaos would lay somewhere around, in it. Anything is possible.
All said, I hope this makes it as a wild guess and not wishful thinking.
Thanks for gracing this post.
Greetings!
