Approximately 30 years ago began the regular use of personal computer, which along the way contributed to the transformation of our society and lifestyle. Inspired by this milestone, her experts Kaspersky Lab they wanted to look at how the future will look like, what will be the evolution of information technology and what the changes in our lives will be in 2045's new digital reality, 30 years from today.
"With the current pace of IT development, it is quite difficult to accurately predict how the landscape will be in a few decades. However, it is clear that every year our technologies will become even smarter and people should be able to keep pace with them. In any case, we can be sure that digital criminals will continue to make every effort to harness any new advances in the field of Information Technology for their own malicious purposes, "he said. Alexander Gostev,Chief Security Consultant by Kaspersky Lab. “But whatever our world looks like in 30 years, we should start improving our comfort, safety and well-being now. THE technology it's just a tool and it's entirely up to us whether we use it for good or bad," he added.
The robots will be everywhere
It is possible that the world's population will include billions of humans and billions of robots, with the latter doing almost all of the routine work or heavy lifting. Humans will work to improve the software of robots, and the IT industry will be the "home" of companies that develop programs for robots, much like nowadays companies that develop applications, which the users they "download" and install.
"Mechanical people"
To some extent, the boundaries between humans and robots will become cloudy. Transplants will use electronically controlled artificial organs and prosthetic members will be a routine in the surgical procedure. Nanorabots will travel deep within the human body to inject drugs into diseased cells or to perform microsurgical procedures. Specially installed sensors will monitor people's health and transfer their findings to cloud warehouses, to which doctors will have access. All of this can reasonably lead to a significant increase in life expectancy.
"Smart" houses
In addition, people will live in "smart" homes, where most comforts will be fully automated. The software that runs the house will take care of energy and water, food, and supplies. The only concern of the residents will be to ensure that they have enough money in the bank to pay their bills.
The New Age of Hyper-Information
Our digital alter egos will take full form within a single, self-regulating global infrastructure that will deal with management of life on the planet. The system will work roughly like today's TOR. The most active and effective users will earn moderator rights. The system will be oriented towards the distribution of resources among people, the prevention of armed conflicts and other humanitarian actions.
3D Print - Quick and economical
It will not only be the routine jobs that will go through history, as the production of specific species will no longer be necessary. Instead, 3D printers will enable us to design and create what we need from household items such as dishes and clothes to building materials for the home of the future.
Not other computers
The IT boom may be due to computers, but in 2045, we'll probably only see them in museums. To be more precise, we will no longer need a tool for data processing – that is, for what a computer. There will be an even wider range of "smart" devices, which will gradually take over the execution of the functions of today's computers. For example, the financial analysis will be able to be done by a server using electronic documents rather than by an accountant using a personal computer.
Technophobia
Still, they will not be all excited about the new "robotic" world. It is likely that a new type of "Luddit" will emerge, who will oppose the development of "smart" houses, automated lifestyle and robots. Opposition to IT developments will lead some to avoid using smart systems, devices and robots for some types of work and they will not have any digital identity.
