This time I will ask, what do you think the future will be like, that is, 2030+, how interesting will everything be?
Original question by @SugarCatDestroyer@lemmy.world
You wouldn't be able to detect the difference without a calendar.
P.S. Do you know that it is already '25?
It will feel mundane and we will be mostly concerned with daily struggles.
Remember that we're living in our predecessors exciting future.
2030 is knocking at the door already ;)
Beside that, to answer your question I would say: I imagine that already there future to be crispy, if not burned.
In the year 2000...
Given that "interesting" is how the Chinese curse goes, we're in interesting rimes now. So more of the same as far as how humans behave. Climate far worse because again, we aren't going to change. More dystopian, corporate rule (the cyberpunk novels had that spot on), AI better/worse depending on your perspective (more advanced, used everywhere). Internet far different than it has been, with familiar niches holding out here and there. Possibly recovering from some major disaster, maybe large scale even.
It's safer to expect pessimistic results and be surprised. I don't doubt there will be some good things to happen too, great advancements and maybe even big societal changes that help people. They're harder to predict though.
"Difficult to see. Always in motion is the future."
A good lesson is to look back on predictions made for the future 50 or 100 years ago. Often times the technology is the guessed the closest right, but how it is used, and how it affects the social structure of society is totally wrong.
I suspect it won't be that interesting. More dystopian though!
Splinternet:
Europe: Euro-Schengen-Net
China: People's Liberated Networks (人民解放网)
USA: "One Nation Under God" Net / Liberty Net
Russia: "Glory to the Motherland" Net?
Also maybe mind control. Btw I love the leader. Please tread on me! Totally not being mindcontrolled. /s (we're so fucked when they start inserting chips into babies brains)
The classic stereotype but modified a bit these is what i find intresting (flying cars,most or even all cars go electric and become as fast as gas cars,Electric planes start becoming a thing,futuristic looking buildings with trees,Phones and tables will he replace with like goggles/glasses,people will live slightly longer due to improved medicine.)
Dystopian things (Ai will replace 80% of jobs,Global warming becomes worse,Brain chips start being widespread,some countries reaching like 57c)
The Internet will continue its reach and relationships & communities will continue to move online.
