5 scenarios for the development of our future
About what can be expected in the future, not a few books have been written, not a few drawings have been made and enough films have been made. But how really it will be shown by time, so far fewer futurist scenarios have come true. But cikavosti.com selected 5 possible scenarios for future development.
- The biological inequality
Although at school we were taught that class inequality has long been abolished and all people are equal to each other, we are aware that this is not so. Since the time of the vector, some opinions have also changed that in the future gender inequality and other contemporary problems in society will go to the background and replace their other problems. For example, when people will be able to improve their body or mind with the help of technology, not everyone can afford it. This will create a new problem and new privileges.
- Superfluous class
In the 20th century, power came to the working class, and in 21 it was tried to kill. The world is developing so quickly that now technologies are actively developing that will replace the working hands first, which gradually takes place, and soon the human brain will also replace it. As a result, such development will leave not only a large number of people without work, but will also enrich those whose profession is indispensable even with the help of robots.
- Man - application for cars
And here we are talking not about the maintenance of robots, but that completely abandon the work of man is not entirely economically correct. Some economists believe that in the future, robots will not completely replace people, but only perform part of the work - this will make the workforce cheaper, but do not remain without it for good.
- "No" of private property
Already, many Americans refuse to buy a house and rent a house and do not buy cars, but use a taxi. And in the future, according to the 4 scenarios, absolutely everything will be given for a while and only when it is needed: laptops, refrigerators and even mattresses (from this, by the way, Airbnb started). Thus, there will be almost no private property, but there will be a lot of opportunities to lift a certain thing for a while.
- Personality without personal life
It is already known that it is not difficult to monitor a person, and many countries check their citizens' personal correspondence without a twinge of conscience. In the future, this can grow into a tool for business.
Simson Garfinkel is the author of "Everything is under control. Who and how watching you "believes that in the future we should not be afraid of Orwell's" Big Brother "- the state that follows us - but hundreds of" little brothers "who are watching us from everywhere. These are companies that collect information about each and every step in our life: purchases, illnesses and injuries, social circle, problems with the law and so on. Today, more than ever, thanks to technical progress, it has become possible. Moreover, personal information has become a commodity, and running information.
