Futurologists are known to give us shocks and aftershocks with their distinguishing and expert predictions of the future. The same can be said about the year 2050.

Futurologists once again have extended their expertise and drafted a whole set of scenarios and changes that are expected to take place in the year that is 2050.

Let’s take a look at what these are.

The Predictions For 2050

Besides the prediction that by the year 2050, there will be life on Mars, Futurologists have come up with forecasts and prognosis that is related to every aspect of life, whether it is the climate, the industrial world, or individual behavior.

Let’s take a look at what these predictions are:

The Climate

According to a group of Futurologists that gathered together, Dhaka, Bangladesh, is going to face some severe damage from the everyday rising sea levels. Even though many efforts are being made to tamper with the effects of global warming, for some places, it might be just a little late. Denmark and Netherlands are also to be affected, but due to the high GDP levels of these countries, they are expected to be better equipped. However, the same can’t be said about Dhaka.

Infrastructure

Cities like New York and Shanghai are to be laden with skyscrapers, looming over the horizon. Talking about New York, the presence of robots, virtual reality, and fast underground trains is going to make the city the prime entertainment center.

The tall and looming buildings of Shanghai are to have offices, shops, educational, and even manufacturing centers. All of this available in one area makes sure that the residents of the building don’t have to leave the building.

Culture

Whoever was worried about human extinction should have nothing to stress about now. Because in 2050, human extinction is not even close to the table due to the ever-rising fertility rates around the world, which will continue to rise in the future.

When it comes to languages that will be spoken around the world, they will follow demographic trends. It is expected that the languages primarily spoken in Latin America will see a rise as opposed to Chinese, Mandarin, etc. The importance of English would see a decline somehow due to the increased use of machine translation which reduces the need to learn new languages. The linguistic diversity will tend to decrease in the years preceding.

Architecture

The gradual change that’s been seeping into our daily lives has for sure changed the fashion trends and will continue to do so. But this doesn’t mean that the old architectural trends are going to be thrown out the window. In the future, there is going to be increased pressure upon classical Greco-Roman architecture in terms of fashion along with the designs that are opted for the buildings.

Whatever the predictions are, one thing that’s for sure is that the world will change for the better. This can’t be said about the attitudes of the people as that’s a matter on the individual level, but when talking about technology and globalization, the world for sure will improve.
