I’m being extremely optimistic. Although not realistic, it is what I hope the future looks like.
In year 2070:
- Vertical Farming is the primary way we secure food. This allows us to grow more food with less land and water. With climate change, vertical farming became the most important step we took to save our environment. We also give this technology to any countries in need, and world hunger is not a problem.
2. There will be no private forms of transportation because public transportation is so convenient. The roads are only for trams and not private cars. Transportation is heavily subsidized, so everyone is able to get to any place they want free of charge. These trams run on renewable energy, which means no greenhouse gases.
3. Composting facilities and at-home composting will be common. People are able to compost easily and give nutrients back to our soil. Almost everything that we use is made with compostable materials so our trash bin turned into our compost bin.
4. Our workweek is reduced to only 2o hours a week. This is because we realized that the 40-hour workweek is not the most productive use of our time. Since our technologies made our lives easier, there is no need to work so much. We all live much happier because we can invest more time into something that intrinsically motivates us. This means that more people have time to create art, play sports, dance etc.
5. There will be no more fighting and there will be more sharing. We stop producing weapons because there is no need for them. There is also no war. We realize that it’s more important to share our resources and collaborate rather than compete.
