THE FUTURE
FORETOLD
Future
Education
Education and
social interaction will happen within the safe confines of home with the use of
virtual reality gear which immerses the user into a virtual world almost
indistinguishable from the real world. Imagination will become an integral
part of teaching thanks to the amazing exploratory freedoms in a virtual
environment.
Future
Entertainment
Surround Sight
Holographic Projection Television - Turns the entire room into a virtual TV
where you sit in the center of the action happening all around you.
Interactive VR
TV would be a cheaper alternative to the holographic TV.
VR internet -
The virtual reality internet will look like real life with the confines of your
interactive VR gear. Shopping sites will be just like walking through a
shopping mall and social networking sites will truly be social with people
appearing as real interactive person.
Future
Fashion
Hundreds of years from now when medical
advances finally eliminate obesity from the masses and technology allows
easy muscle building I think clothes will finally become skimpier for the
masses as people take pride in showing off their finally sculpted bodies. This
most likely preceded by an easing of prudish attitudes and shame over nudity
particularly in the USA. I think next body paints will dominate
fashion complete with neons, glitter,and 3-D
art. Homes will have body paint closets were you program what you want or load
a previous one and it paints your clothes on. Being nude is the ultimate
comfort and body paint allows that freedom.
In colder regions however coats and winter gear might still be required unless
personal space heat shields are developed. However once such a
technology exists then holographic clothes will be a reality. Your
clothing would merely be holograms generated around your body.
Future
Government
If the common
citizen can take back their governments then we might finally see real
democratic freedom and the elimination of government
corruption. Realistically however we might see a socialistic economy
mixed with a democratic political system.
Future
Health
Cellular
repairing nanobots will be injected into the bloodstream to reverse the aging
process and and keep you at a perpetual age 30. All of humankind will be
immortal.
Hopefully the
rich and power elite won't try and keep this from the majority of the
populace. Or try to use the nanobots as some sort of tracking device or
medical invasion of privacy.
Future
Housing
A thousand
years from now people might live in holographic homes where force fields
generate solid surfaces.
Future
Shopping
People will
shop on the website for their local superstore for all their needs including
groceries. You can take your time to browse every item in the
privacy of your home and using a search engine to find what you need would be so
much quicker than physically searching the store. You then pay online and
print out a receipt. You make an appointment for pick up of your items
using your receipt as proof of purchase. Before your appointment the items
are selected and packed at the automated warehouse where you pick up your
groceries at the loading dock. The automation will cut costs and
bring cheaper goods to everyone.
With this
system there is no need for Orwellian biochip implant type scenarios which seems
to be what the powers that be want. Hopefully the greed of profits will
win over the weird totalitarian power play.
Future
Transportation
Hover
cars employing power air thrusters will eliminate tires and the break downs
associated with them. Magnetic hovering could be a reality as well with
converted highways.
