Have you ever wondered how life would be in 2040?
2040 feels like a date so far in the future that it is almost impossible to predict what it beholds. But there are many scientists and researchers around the world trying to interpret how life is going to be in 2040 and they have come up with several predictions that paints a fascinating picture of the world's future for us. 2040 is assumed to an era of innovation more impactful than the last wave we witnessed.
It is being said that the world's population will reach 91,57,23,000.
It is predicted that in just 25 years that all five human senses could be digitally stimulated to create a full-sensory virtual reality. The best part is that it would be exactly like a real one-you could hold someone's hand and even smell their fragrance with no barriers.
It is being said that humans may indulge in a relationship with robots in the future. Interacting with a robot could create less emotional pressure on humans. By 2040,we could have two soulmates:one human and one robot. As we continue to open up our personal life on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram, the report says that it could be normal to publicize even the most intimate moments shared on a tap of the button and make it available over the internet.
There is a huge challenge to the global food system between now and 2040-notably water scarcity and the impacts of climate change. Rising food prices,the growing population and environmental concerns are just a few issues, that leads to worrying about how we will feed ourselves in the future.
Insects,or mini-livestock would likely to become a part of our staple diet. Insects provide as much nutritional value as ordinary meat and are a great source of protein. Things like crickets and grasshoppers will be used as an ingredient in the junk we've been consuming.
Twenty years from now, it is predicted that the health care system we know today will look completely different.We have already begun to see the early stages of this transformation.
Technology will improve to such a level that patients will be able to receive virtual care and in-person care. We don't expect to have eliminated diseases entirely by 2040.In 2040,a number of health breakthroughs and trends will become available to the public, for example, Tobacco will be largely eradicated due to farm land increasing reserved for food production.
We are likely to see more changes in transportation technology in the next 30 years than we've seen in the last 100 years. The futurologist with an 85% accuracy track record noted that in 10 years time, driverless transportation will be ubiquitous within the next 30 years.We are likely to transcend into a future where space travel is common and hyperloop systems are in abundance.
