I found myself fascinated regarding what the coming thirty Years would appear to be like, so I did some research into what daily life might be like within 2050 for us. Because of the turn of the era, technology has swiftly improved, and the world we live in is brimming with items that were merely dreams in the previous few many years. Let's start with a look at nanotechnology. Throughout the years, scientists have made tremendous advancements and found a variety of creative uses for technology. With the use of brain interface technology, the mind, as well as the computer, will be joined, making human beings extremely adept beings with the ability to access endless knowledge and answers to challenges that the awareness wouldn't be capable of resolving if nanotechnology attains that stage. Researchers in the field anticipate that Nanobots will eventually be fitted into our minds in order to link us to the digital realm more easily and quickly. the use of 3D printing The emergence of 3D printing technology will be the next technological innovation that we can anticipate in the future. Although 3D printing technology is currently mature, by 2050, we can anticipate considerably greater advancements. Currently, we have 3D-printed homes and tools. In the future, if larger machines are developed, we may be able to print additional instruments and possibly even some forms of transportation, expanding the range of possible objects that can be printed to infinity. It won't be long before everyone prints their own major goods, including furniture and weaponry if the present tendency of Open Source 3D printable files continues. Here's an idea. thereby 2050, the immutability of death might be a thing of the past thanks to the brain being linked to a machine through BCI technology. This allows the knowledge stored in our minds to be transferred into a hard disc like computer files, meaning the data, such as thoughts, can be retrieved and uploaded. How about creating a cheap 3D printer for food that could end hunger worldwide despite global warming? Another advancement in medicine is the potential for curing deadly illnesses like cancer. However, because new technologies are always very expensive when they first appear, the remainder may not be privy to this potentially life-saving innovation for a while. Transportation is something that we might have access to in 2050. Given the research on self-driving cars being conducted by automakers like Tesla, it is conceivable that technologies for fully autonomous cars will be available by that time. Notable benefits of automated vehicles involve a sharp decline in traffic-related fatalities since the vehicles will cooperate. Vehicles will allow individuals to travel with a lot of free time, considering the quantity of time spent in traffic and the freedom to decide whether to unwind or be more productive. Yet another interesting growth is Elon Musk's hyperloop one project, which uses electromagnetic levitation to move most of the public's transportation underground at speeds of up to 310 km/h. This train offers the chance for a quicker, more affordable, and environmentally friendly mode of transportation, and if more people choose it, there will be significantly fewer traffic-related incidents. the world is currently faced with warming temperatures and the possibility of depleting natural resources, so we must continue looking at adjusting to alternative energy sources. Hyperloop One is currently investigating electromagnetic levitation, and the automotive industry is additionally searching for ways to decrease harmful vehicle emissions. These are all attempts to accomplish the goal of zero emissions by 2050. Additionally, research is being done on the ocean's wind, solar, and thermal energy. One company in particular, Blue Rise, a developer of ocean thermal energy conversion, is working on a project that could entirely phase out the use of fossil fuels. Hopefully, Blue Rise and its colleagues will be effective soon enough to alleviate a few of the environmental issues we currently face. Face space exploration now. With all the advancements made so far, by 2050, space tourism will become a reality for those who can afford it. If there is anything that has been mentioned as a mitigating solution to our current environmental challenges, it is space exploration and colonization. Companies like SpaceX and Blue Origin are focused on revolutionizing space technology with objectives such as spatial exploration and eventually enabling individuals to live on other planets in colonies. First, artificial intelligence, which is currently more sophisticated than many of the innovations discussed here, may be accessible to everyone. Artificial intelligence development will only continue to advance. Researchers in the field predict that AI will eventually outperform living brains regarding processing capability, which wouldn't be so terrifying if it didn't pave the way for the robot apocalypse. Fortunately, researchers still need to find out how to teach an AI all the crucial human values before it can become an integral component of our daily lives. Still, the development of AI will undoubtedly alter the makeup of the workforce. Additionally, the job market will undergo significant change, and given current trends, half of the globe's current employment opportunities will be extinct and replaced by robots and AI machines by the year 2050. Additionally, because the world will be even more interconnected and data-driven than today, some of us will undoubtedly need to think about changing our careers. Education will undergo significant changes as the job market shifts. Already, there has been a rise in digital learning, particularly during the pandemic. By 2050, fully digital schools will be the norm, even if we have attended them in person. Instead of using books, students will use tablets and laptops. For higher education, experts predict that more than 70% of the student body will participate in online degrees, making education more accessible to more people. a metaverse Now we move on to the metaverse since Facebook CEO Mark Zuckerberg stated it virtual reality and AI have endured assimilated into our every day life through the social media enormous for those who may be a bit confused regarding the metaverse you're not alone and you've arrive to the right effect the metaverse is a virtual actuality computer-generated surroundings in which you may interact with other users through AI enabled software so it's regarding simulation with avatars corresponding to users as metaverse functions get more established by 2050 it will be capable to offer a full virtual experience that includes shopping to journey right from the ease of your own home individuals will have the choice to share their virtual encounters with the World Imagine taking a trip to your preferred holiday destination with your relatives only you're not physically there that's what the metaverse will provide it appears to me like the more we get associated the more we stay apart Cash next is money even nevertheless we will still use money one thing that has endured used less and less over the years is Cash maintaining up with that Trend cash will most probable no longer be used in 2050. Because of artificial intelligence (AI) and decentralized finance will make new forms of financial exchange possible. As the world gradually adopts these technologies, traditional tangible and intangible money will become even less useful. Just like Tesla, which orders its car parts on demand, our automated pantries and refrigerators may eventually replace the need for us to go grocery shopping. May order our goods no longer receiving the incorrect milk or even real estate for Running Out of Milk. In addition to household appliances being fully automated in 2050, dwellings will also be fully automated. Even though smart homes now exist, the advancements made available over the next few decades will greatly improve what we currently have. By 2050, smart homes will have complete AI activation capabilities that will enable them to understand our moods and needs without us having to issue a single command. Additionally, interactive hologram televisions will be available, allowing you to verbally summon it and have it appear in front of you. The best part is that you won't ever need the remote again because, as was mentioned at the beginning of the video, nanotechnology will allow you to control the TV with your thoughts. With that, this video's exploration of how our lives will be in 2050 has come full circle. Since humanity has already established the foundations of many of these technologies, you'd have to concur that none of this is too far-fetched. However, one thing is for certain: given the pace of technological advancement, I have no doubt that the world will look very different by the year 2050. However, I do hope that our present societal structures and rules will still be in place.

Could We Consider Colonising the Whole Solar System?
Imagine that humans have evolved to be able to live on planets with little to no oxygen, making Earth a no-go area for us. It's time to build new homes on Mercury and Jupiter, so let's investigate what life would be like if that happened. As you step foot on Mercury, you'll immediately notice how incredibly bright it is. Mercury is the closest planet to the Sun, so it's like a never-ending summer vacation. The surface of Mercury, however, can seem orange and yellow due to the planet's rocky terrain and the powerful sunshine; this makes for some fascinating views. How cool is that on Mercury, the air is relatively thin, causing the sky there to appear mostly dark and empty? Our events would be incredibly exciting. Imagine flying through the air with Incredible since the gravity on Mercury is extremely weak—almost three times lower than Earth's. The buildings in this world are both imaginative and practical; they are constructed of materials that can withstand the heat and shine with a metallic gold colour, reflecting the intense sunlight. As you can see, life in this small, hot world can still be quite exciting, but let's move on to Venus now that we've got ourselves quite a workload; this is the craziest and most bizarre planet. At a mind-boggling 900 degrees Fahrenheit, they sizzle, but guess what? Our bodies can withstand such high temperatures. 224 mph gusts are blowing there, and amid them are enigmatic dark streaks that won't go away. Scientists are baffled by these streaks because they absorb UV rays. Venus seems to have some hidden party tricks up its sleeve, and speaking of parties, the planet is home to many active volcanoes, all of which are constantly putting on a spectacular show for us. Molten lava flows and volcanic explosions provide our daily entertainment. Because Venus is almost the same size as Earth, the scenery appears familiar, but with a twist that would cause even the hardest creatures on Earth to quake, but not us. We blithely strut around Venus as if it were no big thing because our bodies are designed to handle it. The metallic architecture of our cities reflects the flaming brightness of the Venusian Sun inside, and they shine like beacons due to using materials that can withstand extreme heat and pressure. We also have extremely advanced cooling systems that keep us comfortable despite the extreme heat. We explore the volcanic landscape while surfing on streams of molten lava safely. Although migrating to a more hospitable environment like Mars is one of our main aims, the landscapes are interesting. We would also be surrounded by volcanoes, impact craters, crustal movement, and powerful dust storms as we look up into the sky and are met by Phobos and Deimos. The planet's surface is a colourful canvas with hues of brown, and golden tan, and it is coated in rusting iron regolith, similar to Martian soil and dust. Mars' moons, the sky itself is hazy as well as painted in shades of red that turn blue during sunset, in contrast to what we experience on Earth. Mars' temperatures can be quite extreme, ranging from a comfortable 70 degrees Fahrenheit to bone-chilling lows of about -225 degrees Fahrenheit. However, let's assume that our bodies have evolved to withstand these fluctuations. The thin atmosphere of Mars doesn't offer much protection from them, making it the easiest planet for us to adapt to. Our next candidates, however, are not that friendly, so living on Jupiter, the gas giant, is an entirely novel adventure since there isn't any solid ground to walk on. We've also developed ways to protect ourselves from meteorites and asteroids; these guys will be our frequent visitors. We have jet packs and hovercrafts to get around. Imagine floating in Jupiter's majestic atmosphere, surrounded by cold, windy clouds of ammonia and water. These vibrant stripes and swirls paint the planet with a colourful palette. We zip through the colourful clouds while admiring a mesmerising kaleidoscope. Floating cities resemble enormous bubbles suspended in swirling gases and liquids. They are specially built to withstand extreme pressures and temperatures. Bright colours and sparkling lights abound in our homes and cities. We've even developed "artificial gravity zones" where we can walk with a spring in our step and experience a semblance of gravity. While watching the mesmerising light displays of lightning flashing across the sky and marvelling at the unbridled power of nature, we can safely observe Jupiter's severe storms thanks to modern weather forecast technology. But what about the next gas giant? We can once more dwell in Saturn's heavens next to its stunning Rings. In this extraordinary place, we had to find new ways to generate power; we use the energy from Saturn's powerful storms. These energy sources help fuel our floating cities, allowing us to enjoy everything this incredible planet offers freely. Our cities are like big colourful balloons that sparkle and shine with bright lights inside; we have large domes where we can freely experience everything this incredible planet offers. instead of strolling, we use special devices that make us glide through the air, similar to Jupiter. Each of Saturn's numerous moons has unique characteristics. We've established outposts on some of these moons where we can embark on thrilling expeditions and explore their enigmatic landscapes. However, as if surviving on a gas giant weren't difficult enough, our solar system is also home to ice giants. Welcome to the fascinating world of Uranus! Despite its extremely chilly temperature of minus 353 degrees Fahrenheit, we've developed inventive ways to make this place livable. To create warmth, we can take inspiration from the Earth' Another option is to construct enormous mirrors to collect and reflect the Sun's heat; however, let's be honest, positioning all those enormous mirrors precisely would be quite a chore. We develop structures that keep us warm and comfortable in our habitats using thick fluids like methane, ammonia, and water. Our dwellings are made to survive harsh weather conditions. Finally, we have Neptune, the cool and distant cousin of the solar system. Neptune's atmosphere is primarily composed of hydrogen, helium, and methane. There is also no water, only a lot and lots of ice, but that's fine with us, right, so it's time to build habitats. Shelter from the freezing temperatures outside. We might even discover new forms of life that have evolved to survive the unique conditions of this icy giant. That would be chilling, for sure. Who doesn't like the idea of cities floating in the air? Imagine looking out from your sky city at the mesmerising hues as well as swirling storms of this ice giant. The vibrant colours of the sky would create an incredible backdrop for our daily adventures. Hey, a world where humans don't need oxygen or water to survive seems not bad. We'd soar through the skies and roam vast Landscapes; the only limits we'd have would be the limits of our imagination. We'd explore the mysteries of Neptune's moons, diving into their icy landscapes and revealing the secrets they hold.

About Binding Prometheus
I want to start actively advocating on behalf of my own work, and the most valuable part of my canon is, without a doubt, Binding Prometheus, the play I have been working on since 2019 and only finished in 2023 as part of my MA. The play itself is an amalgamation of a million different inspirations. On one end, it evokes the Ancient Greek myth-play, deriving its own title from the earliest extant work of Western drama we have, Aeschylus’s Prometheus Bound. On the other end, it borrows significantly from the sci-fi bulwarks from over the years, namely Mary Shelley’s Frankenstein and Karel Capek’s Rossum’s Universal Robots. The play could be an episode of Black Mirror, I fear. I don’t know. I’ve only ever seen one episode of Black Mirror.
