Interactive Experiences
Movies and series are leveling up with a growing demand for interactive stories, where viewers decide what happens next. Soon, we might even create and bring to life our own stories on screen with the help of artificial intelligence.
Virtual reality keeps evolving and becoming more lifelike, so the next step is starring in films ourselves, even alongside friends, all within a virtual space.
Multifunctional Buildings
Skyscrapers won’t just house offices or apartments—they’ll transform into mini multifunctional cities. Inside, you’ll find restaurants, various shops, grocery stores, gyms, and even cinemas or bowling alleys—all under one roof. Residents won’t need to leave the building to find everything they need.
Faster Internet
6G is coming, and the internet will be lightning fast. Finally!
Flying Cars
Science fiction writers predicted flying cars by the 1980s, and honestly, it’s frustrating that they’re not a reality yet. But the buzz is real: within five years, after self-driving cars, flying vehicles are expected to take off.
Digital Shopping Experience
Say goodbye to fitting rooms: since most shopping is already online, the personal shopping experience will soon be highly customized. You’ll preview clothes on digital models displayed life-size, or even virtually try them on your own body through phone apps.
Healthcare Advances
With AI, diagnosing illnesses will be quick and easy. Personalized medicines tailored just for you will help you regain your health faster than ever.
Self-Aware Robots
By 2030, robots will make their own decisions. Robots working in factories, logistics, and healthcare will use advanced AI algorithms to assess situations, adapt to changing conditions, and adjust their choices in real time.
Space Tourism
Space tourism made headlines in April when Amazon founder Jeff Bezos’s Blue Origin rocket took six women, including his billionaire fiancée Lauren Sanchez and singer Katy Perry, into space. While public reaction was mixed, it undeniably boosted interest in space travel.
Prices for space visits are expected to drop, so in a few years, tens of thousands of (wealthy) people will travel to space annually—and some might even spend the night in special capsules up there.
Drone Deliveries
Ordering everything online—from washing machines to food, clothes, and decor—is already normal. In a few years, delivery volumes will soar, and drones and robots will handle the drop-offs. (Robots here mean self-driving wheeled machines, not humanoid androids.) By 2030, drone deliveries will be common in most big cities.
Health Monitoring Devices
It won’t just be smartwatches and apps tracking our habits—our fridges and toilets will join in. Your fridge will know what and how much you eat, warning you if you’re consuming too many carbs. Your toilet will monitor your bathroom visits and give feedback—all to keep you healthier.
