Answer

  • By 2030, people will buy most things online. You will be able to open an app, decide ‘I like that, I’ll buy it’, and a drone will deliver it in less than half an hour! There will be some real shops too, of course, but many of them won’t have checkouts anymore. You will be able to take anything you want and you will automatically pay and get a receipt later.  
  • In 2040, most countries will use digital money. There won’t be any paper notes or coins and we will use phones or smartwatches to pay for everything. Fortunately, batteries will be better so we won’t need to carry a charger with us all the time!  
  • By 2050, the population of the world will be 9.7 billion and seventy-five percent of people will live in cities, often in huge ‘smart’ apartment buildings, over one kilometre tall. Virtual reality will be a big part of our everyday lives. For example, most people in cities won’t need to leave their homes. Houses won’t even need windows – ‘virtual windows’ will look completely real.
  • Over the next forty years, we will use technology to analyse our health all day and every day. Our clothes will have tiny health trackers which will contact our doctor when there are any problems. 3D printers will be able to make new body parts such as skin or even a heart!
