Shaping Tomorrow: How Science Will Transform Life by 2100
Science redefines the future.
Since ancient times, science has played a crucial role in shaping the world we live in. This is only natural when you consider that technological advances and scientific discoveries have fundamentally changed the way we live from the industrial revolution to the digital age. However, as we lead towards the year 2100, we increasingly start to wonder how science will continue to influence our lives. If the current rapid pace of innovation continues in the coming decades, the future could be very different from the one we imagined. In this article, we explore three major areas where science could radically shape the future: health (longevity), technology (artificial intelligence), and space exploration.
Eternal Youth could become possible
Advances in medicine and biotechnology will profoundly transform the way we think about health and life expectancy. Today, advances in gene therapy and nanotechnology are opening up incredible possibilities for curing diseases that were once considered untreatable. In the near future, gene editing is likely to become routine. This procedure will allow us to correct…
