What is going to happen when 2050 arrives? By: Stefany Noguera Lopera

The future. We pretty much have all at least once thought of what the future will be like. I know I do, and a lot. When I think of the future, I see it in many different ways. One way I think of the future, is when I think of Halo, or something futuristic, but will it really be like that? Unprovidentially, it will not in my opinion. The way the world is now, and all that is going on, all of the wars occurring. If it continues, there may be no future, but thats what I want to know. Will there be such a future, and if so, what do you think it will be like?
Technology in 2050 will rely telepathic forms of communication and become personalized. Holograms will replace screens and devices. The world's borders will become more and more fragile as immigration climbs steadily. Climate not just war will become the primary reason for immigration. China will become the new super power. I see mobile technology taking huge leaps forward just like we have seen in the past. 30 years ago a computer the (SZE ) of a room was doing the same thing I'm doing now on something as big as a stack of paper.
College education will be delivered almost entirely on the Internet, as virtual reality and improved Internet speed and connectivity will make most face-to-face classes unnecessary and uneconomical.
We will be able to make just about any physical object invisible. Artificial organs will be widely available and affordable for many, though perhaps not for all. Genetic therapy will enable us to slow down the aging process by at least 50%.
Amputated and otherwise severed limbs will be regrown. We are going to expand beyond our terrestrial boundries. I see the year 2050 to be the beginning of affordable space tourism. Perhaps in 100 years we may even see civilians permanently living in space, whether it's for the thrill of having a view of the world below everyday or just a way of escaping the problems.
