Information and Society

1. Communication improves our community.

2. Entertainment promotes our creativity.

3. Education develops our knowledge.

All these elements are built on one another like an upside-down pyramid, and each new layer is made a little bigger on top of the prior.

It is no coincidence that the Information Age of the last several decades has marked the most significant period of increased information creation and consumption and, arguably, the ultimate period of human progress.

Growth of Technology

Virtual Reality (VR) and Artificial Intelligence (AI) will pave the way for a more streamlined online experience for e-commerce, entertainment, or business.

Thanks to rapid developments in brain-computer interface technology, by 2040, users will be able to send information and commands through mere brain signals.

The cloud can accommodate other personal assets that would have historically demanded local storage.

The world: 2040

To increase the capacity and capability of the cloud, green web hosting is set to be used universally by 2040. With this, companies will dramatically reduce their data centers' size in favor of cloud-based technology and reduce their environmental impact.

By 2040 all homes will have access to a device, laying the foundations for the DIY economy. A trip to the hardware store will be a thing of the past in favor of simply 'printing' your desired appliance.
