How the world will look like in the next 50 years
People are always wondering what the future will look like. The
answer is very simple; if we want to understand the future, we must
know the past that has brought us to where we are today.
The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we, humans,
have the same basic needs we had 150 years ago: food, sleep, sex,
the feeling of being appreciated and loved. In general the inventions over the last few years
have involved a fight for freedom and communication and to be able to control time and world.
Flying cars and virtual worlds are examples of scenarios that have been pictured for the
future for a long time.
Flying cars are a great and exciting concept, but is it realistic to hope for their creation?
Even if flying cars were designed to be excellent in city traffic, it would be expensive for a
city to implement them, and for people to buy this extra vehicle. So, even with all the pros,
the practical steps to introduce such a radically different form of transport are too hard to
overcome. Therefore, there will be no road network for flying cars in the next 50 years.
In relation to virtual worlds, it might be possible in the future to experience the sand
between your toes, feel the salt from the ocean on your lips, hear the waves and smell the
seaweed by just lying in your bed at home. But we will not be able to be fooled our minds as no
matter how real the experience will feel, we will always know that it isn´t actually happening.
That will make all the difference. You can tell people today that you have seen the pyramids in
Egypt because you have seen a picture of them, but you will never get the feeling of being
there. We can say that it is a great inexpensive invention but it will never replace the real
experience.
