The only think I can say is the advancement over the next 40 years will be orders of magnitude higher than the last 40. Only those who are old enough to remember what life was like understand how it was really an analog world.
The point we are starting at today is so much higher. Anyone who forecasts out, with technology, more than a decade or so is just talking smack. The reality is we can project maybe 10 years but, after that, it gets really cloudy.
So yeah, who knows what things will look like in 2 decades.
i agree with you! i was little in the 90's but i remember how different everything was and how evolution was slower than today!
It most certainly was. That said there were a lot of breakthroughs in the 1980s and 1990s that completely changed society. We didnt see that in the 2000s and 2010s. Other than mobile, not much changed in the way we operated.
That will not be the case by 2040. We will see the 2020s and 2030s as a time of massive societal shift.
and it's already started! it's not global yet but the social changes are already beginning to show signs... I believe that in the next 10 years we will see changes in the global economy and in the balance of power in the world that have rarely been seen in human history...
The US losing more and more space... a hegemony like theirs losing power is something rare that has happened very few times in our history!
