What will the world be like 100 years from now?

Life a century ago is very different from what it is now, but that doesn't stop people from making bold predictions for 2023 in 1923. Some predictions still sound out of reach, while others will make you feel like the forecaster is a spoiler.

Not long ago, Paul Fairie, a netizen who was extremely interested in old newspapers, made a list of all kinds of experts' fantasies about today a hundred years ago.

One of them makes my blood pressure soar, that is, some people think that by 2023, humans will not work more than four hours a day.

Do the math, that is, work for half a day every day. But when you think about it, he is not predicting that I will lose my job and then get up at noon and go out to pick up the noon water bottle.

According to reports, this prediction comes from electrical expert Charles P. Steinmetz, who believes that electricity will change the way the world works and free human beings from hard work. New technologies will ease complex and boring jobs, and cities will become clean, with no rubbish on the streets and no haze in the sky.

But people will still stay busy, because free time will stimulate more interest.

Others predict that many diseases will disappear by then.

This is a common prediction, in addition to cancer, people hope to disappear at that time, tuberculosis, polio and other diseases.

We did try to overcome a lot of difficulties, but who would have thought I might continue to fight the virus in 2023.

Experts predict that in 2023, the average life expectancy will reach more than 300 years. If this is true, I wonder at what age I can get my pension.

The prediction of longevity is the most popular among all kinds of future predictions. A hundred years ago, people made a variety of guesses about this number, some said that it was easy to live to 100, there were 150.

And if people were to guess how long people would live by 2123, the answer would probably be eternal, because now people have begun to transmit their consciousness to the computer.

A hundred years ago, some people believed that people would become more and more beautiful.

In this prophecy, some people think that there will be no more beauty pageants in the future, because there are so many good-looking people that people can hardly choose a champion.

The beauty pageant still exists, but there is a lot of controversy. However, relying on the strength of science and technology, with the blessing of all kinds of filters, everyone's appearance has indeed improved.

It was predicted a hundred years ago that the newspaper industry would decline.

The message says that by 2023, the way people get news in the morning will no longer be reading newspapers, but will become listening to news. In other words, broadcast media should be more popular.

Nowadays, it is true that people seldom read paper newspapers, either swiping their mobile phones or listening to the news reports in short videos.

The kitchen at home will disappear in 2023 because people will get food in a more efficient way in the future. For example, extract nutrients from fruit or meat to make a concentrated and tasty nutrient mixture.

My first reaction was that it made sense. I ate a lot of hard work in science and technology, mainly because the most common food in the past few years was takeout, and the kitchen at home was really useless.

A British scientist thought in 1923 that a hundred years later, people would use communication devices to simplify their work, to see people who were talking to them, and to make phone calls in various places. This sounds like today's smartphone + App.

In addition, there are many movies set in 2023, but nothing good happens in any way.

For example, in X-Men: reversing the Future, the Sentinel killed the mutant this year and was almost destroyed.

But today's humanoid robots seem to have some difficulty in walking.

In the Battle of tomorrow, the earth was invaded by extraterrestrials in 2048, and three years later there was only a small population left. So I had to travel back to 2022 in 2051 and ask for the help of my ancestors.

The time they traveled was at the World Cup at the end of the year, but fortunately this did not happen last month, and they did not have to play weird before the Spring Festival:

In Human cleanup 2, the United States starts a 12-hour human cleanup every year to save its collapsing economy, during which people can legally commit crimes and kill each other. March 2023 is the start of the sixth cleanup.

Speaking of which, the film was released in 2014, almost 10 years ago.

Finally, let's go back to the original question, what do you think the world will be like 100 years from now? How far will AI progress? should the headache virus be gone now, or should humans be gone?

My answer is that 100 years is too far away to think about it. Let's talk about it after the New year.
