Walk-in medical capsules or pods capable of multispectral scanning will constantly assess our bodies for disease or damage. In 100 years, much of healthcare will take place in our own homes. He says that by 2045 “the pace of change will be so astonishingly quick that we won’t be able to keep up, unless we enhance our own intelligence by merging with the intelligent machines we are creating”.) (As a side note: Futurist Ray Kurzweil predicts that we have no option but to do this. The fusion of humans and machines will blur the lines of what is human and what is not. On land they will be taller and stronger, but we will also be able to build cities underwater and underground, or in arcologies (architectural ecologies) that will dwarf today’s tallest structures. Cities in the future will use stronger materials such as carbon nanotubes that will allow us to build skyscrapers that are unlike anything we’ve seen. The report predicts that homes of the future will be be 3D-printed by swarms of drones, and that cities will take completely different shapes than what we are used to. The types of predictions fall into three main categories:
The full publication containing all predictions can be found here. We’re happy that we’re not on the hook for any of these. In the case of today’s infographic from Futurism, the predictions are courtesy of a team of “futurists, architects, technological forecasters, and sociological soothsayers” that were hired by Samsung to look at what life may be like in the year 2116.

So why predict the future? Because it’s fun and it helps us critically think about how to take advantage of future investment and business opportunities. Need proof? Just look at our previous post showing a timeline of failed tech predictions by some of the biggest names in business, academia, and technology over the last two centuries.Įxperts not only get it wrong – they get it embarrassingly wrong. Predicting the future can be a fool’s errand.
