14 ways Coronavirus will change the way we look at the world
Here is a list of positive changes that this tremendous coronavirus emergency could bring to the world in addition to the pain of these days.
The world after Coronavirus will never be the same again. But maybe it will be better
What if the world after coronavirus was never the same again? To be desperately optimistic: what if it could be better than before? Madness? Who knows.
Covid-19 will kick off the 21st century. Life after coronavirus
A profoundly different world awaits us, we already know some of it. Life after coronavirus will resemble the dream of cyberspace in the 90s.
The future of advertising? disturbing
Nothing is created or destroyed, but everything is transformed. Especially in advertising. But the publicity of the future will change a lot, until it disappears. Such as? Here are some scenarios.
Why the fossil fuel industry will collapse in 10 years
The general public does not realize how fast things are changing: fossil fuels are about to collapse at supersonic speed under the blows of unstoppable change. Here because.
Spinlaunch wants to send rockets into space with a mega centrifuge
Spinlaunch does not involve large tanks and complicated launches, but a centrifuge that brings the rocket to crazy speed and "releases" it like a shot put thrower.
4 steps into Amazon's future: here are the new achievements of Bezos
Amazon's future runs on a path that will encounter few obstacles. Here's how Jeff Bezos' company will become even more unstoppable in 2020.
20 years ago a magazine told us: here are the forecasts for the next millennium
A magazine from 20 years ago, on the eve of 1997, lined up the most accurate list of predictions for 2020. And some solemn absurdities. This is how they saw us.
11 bold forecasts for the near future technological decade
The last 10 years have seen half of the forecasts come true: this is what has happened, and here are those for the near future.
Update: 5 predictions about the future of the world in the next 10 years
Effective diagnostics, different energy, new species in the skies and more: forecasts for the future of the world in the next 10 years? Full of interesting things.
Because the future will be bright beyond all expectations
Humanity is moving very quickly towards a rosy future. A perfect world, even if perfection will never be fully achieved. Does this seem like an unreasonable prediction to you? Think that the alternative is self-destruction. Tertium non datur, and the dystopias of the various films are unlikely. One of the best films seen in recent years was Interstellar, but as much as I loved it, it has a weak point: it is set in a future that is not at all rosy. A dystopian nightmare in which storms… Read more
Apple 1987: Siri already existed, but she had a bow tie
In a 1987 Apple video some ideas already structured decades in advance show a Siri in embryonic state and in rather formal clothes
The largest company in 2030 will supply robot teachers
Just thirty years ago the frontier was a school with a computer. Today, the frontier is having students with their own laptop. According to futurologist Thomas Frey, in the next 14 years the frontier will be to have students learning from robot teachers on the internet, and the company that will be able to provide this service will become one of the largest, richest and most important in the world. Frey's prediction is certainly made taking into account the latest macroscopic advances in artificial intelligence research. Robot teachers… Read more
Computers and increasing energy consumption
The #energy consumption of #computers is constantly increasing, and with the Internet "of things" the phenomenon will only get worse. It is predicted that consumption could even exceed global energy production around 2040. This estimate, recently reported by the Daily Mail, is the result of research by the Semiconductor Industry Association. The reason for this unbridled consumption? The future ubiquity of processors, but also the fact that, thanks to progress in the miniaturization of components, today they can be inserted... Read more
Digital Divide, an aid from heaven.
As many predictions about the future as one can make, they often take into account the destination to be reached and rarely the route necessary to reach them. Everything, from the application of new technologies to geopolitical changes, passes through the most disparate variables which often force us futurologists to revise (generally downwards) the initial estimates. Let's take the web in Italy: connectivity, user participation, access to e-commerce, the digital divide: how much of what we still experience today would have been... Read more
All about the super job of the future
I often jokingly hear friends say that to get (or keep) a job today you need superpowers (the most sexist and boorish ones in the case of pretty colleagues argue the need for other skills). The future is made up of many things, and an important theme is precisely that of human enhancement, the improvement of physical and mental performance that can arise from the use of new technologies or medical procedures: in this article I want to offer you some ideas to reflect on. … Read more
At Christmas make a small gesture: save the world
The future of man is threatened by his own activities: if consumption habits, compulsiveness and illicit activities are not curbed, the near future will be full of unknowns and threats for the entire human species. In the meantime, it is above all animal species that pay the costs. The report from the International Union for Conservation of Nature, an organization that monitors the environment and suggests proactive solutions to guarantee its defense, is very recent: 25% of all mammals ...

Jobs of the near future: 26 jobs of tomorrow
In the days that mark the fall of the Berlusconi government and the Italian economic crisis (remember? we predicted it on the old site) I am as disheartened as all of you. The moment is difficult: we can only get out of it if all levels of our country change by looking to the future more than to the past. Some jobs will still survive in the future, let's be clear: but there is a whole series of jobs that don't exist today and which could be useful in the near future. Let's go with common sense: 60%...
