Here's What You will See If You Live to 2050
The future map through 2050: from robotaxi in 2026 to a globe with 9 billion people and 30 cm higher seas.
The arrival of driverless robotaxis in Europe, a historic World Cup shared by six nations in 2026 and another in 2030, the return to the Moon with Artemis III in 2027, and a total solar eclipse that crosses Spain on August 2nd of that same year are just a few of the science fiction-like events that will take place between now and 2050. Megaprojects like the Jeddah Tower reaching a height of more than a kilometer, the asteroid Apophis approaching at a distance of 32,000 kilometers, the potential eradication of polio, the launch of the Extremely Large Telescope, the demise of magnetic stripe cards, the first ignition of the ITER fusion reactor, and the departure of new combustion engine vehicles in much of the West are also on the horizon. AGI, xenotransplantation, lunar mining, a tunnel beneath the Strait of Gibraltar, and an unclear future for Antarctica and Hong Kong are all topics of ongoing conjecture.
Simultaneously, the globe is undergoing fundamental changes: by 2050, there will be approximately 10 billion people on the planet, 70% of whom will reside in cities, 90% of whom may be connected, with higher levels of literacy, less severe poverty, and an average life expectancy of almost 78 years. However, there is a cost as well: an aging planet, existential pressure on low-lying islands, sea levels rising by 25 to 30 cm,low-lying islands are under existential strain, the globe is aging, and ecosystems like the Amazon are getting closer to their limits. When we get there, the question is not just what we will see, but also what kind of world we will be creating.
