The Future

Anecdote

This is the latest poster to adorn the wall between squares 2 and 3 at the university:



The ideas for the future it lists are:

• People renting dreams
• People preferring the company of machines to people
• Declining loyalty to institutions
• Online friendship subscription
• Virtual water
• Increase in older workers
• Tax credits for low BMI
• Location free jobs
• Automation
• Ad-blocking glasses
• Message received from outer space
• Decline of human intelligence
• Uncertainty
• Human-free companies
• Use of AI to read and grade exam papers
• Too much information
• T. S. Eliot prize for poetry won by AI
• Equal rights for AIs
• Blurring private and public spaces
• Later life degrees
• Computers with feelings
• Brain implants to improve memory
• Personalisation

I'm sure these didn't come off a flip chart from a meeting of non-futurists.
