“The future belongs to those who believe in the beauty of their dreams.
-Eleanor Roosevelt
A human mind is tamed by its fascination and imagination. We live in on a planet where time is racing against our ability to predict and continuously hits us with booms of evolution. We are so intrigued by the mysteries of future, that we devote our present in its findings. ‘Future’ is a word that has inspired thousands of movies, music and studies. It takes a new turn every day and attracts more minds for musing than ever.
2050, a year coming is a popular stamp of mark in future that is highly analyzed and predicted these days. Brand names such as BBC, Forbes, and Kaspersky are highlighting some of their research based on respective studies to build the image of a world in 30 years from now . Right now, we’re close enough to imagine the scenario but far enough to actually tell what we can expect in that year. Picking up clues from the current day science and technology trends, here are 4 things that may changes forever –
-
The explosion of social media
The definition of communication drastically changed for us when ‘social-media’ came knocking on our doors. A dependable source of information that connects us with our global surroundings dominated the market of telecommunication and is now one of the basic necessity in most people’s lives.
The future will revolutionize the modern day social media platforms but also will increase threats to our social lives. Imagine a life without 0% private space. Feels scary, right? Technology may find a way to secure their business till then, but cyber-crimes may stack up way too faster than today. The negative aspects may challenge the growing potential of social media in future.
-
Geopolitical stress and political divide
The influx of population in the coming days may turn into a crisis that will engage the nations into a geological tension. The ease in flow of people from one nation to another will lead to a complex channel of growth. This will act as a fuel for the political agendas and leading powers may try to create a major division among the people. Despite all the social up-gradation, a never ending flow of political changes will surround the life of people in 2050.

A new meaning of what’s ‘Natural’
As science will take over most of what’s termed as natural, production and consumption of artificial products will be at its peak. 90% of the naturally produced biomass will be turned into an automated process which will enhance the quality but also may produce by-products that are unsustainable.
-
AI will take over the brain potential
According to several research projects undertaken by Futurist Ray Kurzweil, he predicted the fascinations and challenged that will be served to us in a silver platter after 30 years. If AI dominates the human race, the world will turn into an automated machine. Authenticity and tradition will lose their meaning and there will be nothing left for creation and evolution.
Nothing in this world is permanent. Everything we observe and experience are stepping stones to new dimensions of the same. We may be able to imagine the diverse prospects of what’s to come, but the surprises are definitely going to be un-imaginable! So are you ready for 2050?
