If some people prefer to live and hope for better changes in the future, others have found many ways to look at tomorrow’s program of the Universe. Over the centuries, this industry has evolved and turned into a science called futurology. There are many definitions of this term, but the most capacious and short of them sounds like this: futurology is the history of the future.
It should be noted that the data of futurologists are often called predictions. However, one should take into account the fact that the term "prediction" in the ordinary sense covers a wider spectrum, including fortunetelling of sorcerers, magicians and shamans. In contrast, futurology makes its forecasts based on current trends in the field of economics, social life, and the pace of technological development.
One of the famous modern specialists of this kind is Tatyana Aleksandrovna Ivanova. A sociologist by education and a futurologist by vocation. Today she is the Deputy General Director of the Institute of Economic Strategies, a member of the International Academy of Future Research and a member of the Association of Futurologists. This is what the future specialist predicts for us.
Man of the near future
Now the whole world cares about the universal preoccupation of man with the virtual world. Many experts make predictions about this. Most of them boil down to the fact that the virtual world completely occupies human consciousness.
However, Tatyana Ivanova, a futurologist, gives more optimistic forecasts. In her opinion, cyber reality as such has not yet come, but has firmly entered the life of many modern people. In the future, the development of this trend will be determined by several factors. So, if, after all, natural resources are exhausted, then humanity will have to leave the gadgets at home and go to the fields to get their own food in the sweat of their faces. If not, they will really control the person. And already at the biological level.
To everyone in the house - by artificial intelligence
As for other areas of life, we should expect the addition of many household chores to the shoulders of “smart” machines, which will be able to think and decide for their master. For example, you can explain your gastronomic preferences once to the refrigerator so that you don’t store in yourself what the owner does not like. Or cars will know how to drive so as not to create traffic jams. It may seem unrealistic. However, today's reality also seemed unimaginable only some 30 years ago.
Gadgets and their owners
The development of intellectual technology will lead to the fact that a person will gradually begin to lose some of its functions. This trend can be said to have already been realized. With the advent of computers, people almost stopped writing manually. As a result of this, a decrease in the functions of fine motor skills of hands is observed even in the current generation.
According to Tatyana Ivanova, human consciousness has already undergone significant changes. It is already set up to automatically turn to its gadgets for information. This is fraught with the loss of natural intelligence and creative abilities.
In the future, this trend will only develop. There will be an opportunity to embed gadgets in the human body. This will allow him to be in constant contact with the whole world. And in this situation, a person gets the opportunity to live an average of 120-150 years. Medicine even prophesies immortality if desired, but this is the business of tomorrow. And tomorrow it will be possible to observe how our grandchildren will easily change their appearance without radical methods and not grow old until 120 years of age. Cancer and AIDS will be a thing of the past. Grandchildren will have their own diseases associated with the degradation of natural instincts.
Classes decide everything
However, these are the trends that will become a reality for ordinary citizens of the planet Earth. But, as not everyone knows, all processes on this planet are controlled by a certain class of people - the elite. This layer at all times lived in a different reality, radically different from the life of the masses. And there are even theories according to which it is they who decide the fate and future of these masses, said Tatyana Ivanova, a futurologist. And this is not a question of tomorrow, but of today.
In 2011, Tatyana Ivanova, a futurologist, published an article in Forbes magazine titled Futurology: The Future Through the Eyes of Millionaires. The material caused a wide resonance. It outlined a picture of the future world until the year 2050. However, it would be prudent to warn the reader against bias regarding the publication and title of the article. It is not about the view of a handful of magnates, but namely the elite in the broad sense, which includes the forefront of medicine, politics and science in general.
Futurology in terms of elites
According to futurology in terms of elites, by 2020, the man himself can be created artificially. “And it’s not about robots, but about artificial seed, which by the method of already known artificial insemination can easily turn into an ordinary person. And the trend of virtualization of personal life will continue its development and can finally undermine close emotional relationships between people. People will no longer need each other, ”said Tatyana Ivanova, a futurologist.
Forecasts are considered the optimal amount of the world's population in the region of 600 million people. They will get rid of “superfluous”, which is noticeable even today. Climate control methods will be found, which may lead to the use of it for mercenary purposes by individual states.
The question arises: what awaits Russia? In an interview with The Village, Tatyana Ivanova predicts to Russia the widespread use of flying cars, due to the prohibition of land cars at the legislative level. Also, the center of Moscow will unload from today's congestion, and suburban villages will become prestigious.
The good news is that alcohol will rise in price, and over time it will be difficult to drink wherever it pleases. Recycling will also be arranged. If you are curious to know what awaits Russia in other areas, experts argue that they will change in tune with global trends.
So what to dream about?
“However, this is not the only option for the development of the world. The second option assumes that even a billion “golden” people on the planet are too much. From this point of view, the world will have to test humanity by substituting values, spreading GMOs and ideological technologies like the end of the world, ”writes Tatyana Ivanova, futurologist. And the alternative to the script is very naive, consisting in the unity of people and the victory of good over evil.
How to relate to what the futurologist Tatyana Ivanova prophesies? Predictions come true, and there are many facts confirming this . However, to believe it or not, everyone decides for himself, but subject to competence in such matters.
