Poll: It’s 2028, What’s Your Life Like?

Next Article
By Steve Spalding September 6th, 2008
Under: Polls, Questions

Roll up your sleeves, hop in your time machine and join me for a ride. Consider for a moment the changes we have seen since 1988 — the Internet, the popularization of the cell phone, the whole realm of genetic science hitting the forefront. Now I want you to project yourself 20 years into the future. It’s 2028, and I want to know what technologies are changing your life.

How is business run? What is our relationship with the web? What place do nascent technologies like genetic engineering and stem cells have in the mix? How do you live, learn and die?

Once your done, tell me the story of your trip.

I was stuck between Robotic and Genetic. But I figured by 2028 i will care more about having my diaper changed than having great boobs.

Couldn't you just get a robotic diaper that changes itself?

"An official in the Indian state of Bihar has come up with a new idea to encourage low caste poor people to cope with food shortages - rat meat."

Well from the commentator above it doesn't seem to be entirely well received.

These are a bizarre set of choices. Economic will be a bigger factor for US residents - namely they won't have enough money for anything on your list.

Roboticists and AI researchers will fix all the other problems. We just have to worry about the ramifications of the alien intelligence that will result from the true creation of an AI. This is my PHD thesis.

I like the thought provoking poll question. While I think all of them will have a great impact I voted for Energy/Environment. Since everyone seems to think we will be out of oil by then I think there will have to be incredible advances in alternative energy, which will also impact the environment.

Interesting that comments on eating rats & pigs have appeared, since I read in today's paper that a scientific expert has advised that we should have one meatless day, ideally more, a week in order to protect the environment from pollution due to mass breeding of livestock. Seems a pretty simple change to make. So by 2028, we are eating less meat of all sorts, but climatic change will be an increased concern due to the build-up from past neglect & the effects by then will be so evident that it will have become impossible for politicians to sideline it.

hmmmm! this surely is an interesting thought. However, I entered the "AI" was not sure that I and only two other guys are thinking on the same lines :-(

I think technology is changing really fast and it is really difficult to see 10 years down the line.

Cheers / Jessica

Well, I voted for the "Robotic/A.I" as in that moment, we might able to get ourselves a "robot lover" as well...!

Thus, the robotic/A.I is far beyond our imagination in this decade!
