- Technology advances will include robotics performing most tasks, smart homes controlled by AI assistants, virtual and augmented reality being common, and 3D printing.
- Transportation will be dominated by self-driving electric vehicles and new modes of personal mobility.
- The global economy will double in size by 2050 with China overtaking the US as the largest and India becoming the third largest.
3. INTRODUCTION TO
THE WORLD IN 2050
➜2050 is only about 30 years from now,
which means it’s close enough that we
can imagine it happening, but far enough
away that we can’t confidently say what
it will look like.
➜By mid-century there will likely be 9
billion people on the planet, consuming
ever more resources and leading ever
more technologically complex lives.
➜Demographic changes in world
population and population growth will
certainly be dramatic.
4. INTRODUCTION TO
THE WORLD IN 2050
➜The advances in technology will make
us more empowered, motivated and
active, rather than mindless consumers of
information and entertainment.
➜By 2050 we will also have a so-called
"smart grid" where all of our appliances
are linked directly to energy distribution
systems, This technology would greatly
benefit energy hungry nations like China
and India, while harming fossil fuel energy
producers like Canada
5. ➜The current world
population of 7.3
billion is expected
to reach 8.5 billion
by 2030, 9.7 billion
in 2050 and 11.2
billion in 2100.
➜During 2015-2050,
half of the world’s
population growth is
expected to be
concentrated in nine
countries which
include India, Nigeria,
Pakistan, Ethiopia,
USA, Indonesia and
Uganda.
➜China and India
remain the two largest
countries in the world,
each with more than 1
billion people,
representing 19 and 18
% of the world’s
population,
respectively. But by
2022, the population of
India is expected to
surpass that of China.

7. ROBOTS IN 2050
➜We are approaching a time when machines
will be able to outperform humans at almost
any task.
➜The construction site of 2050 will be
human-free. Robots will work in teams to
build complex structures using dynamic new
materials.
➜Besides this, Robot technology is
advancing at such a rate that experts believe
human companions may become obsolete by
2050. Human robot marriage will be legal by
2050.
8. HOMES IN 2050
➜The future home that we will be living in
will be a high-tech paradise featuring
robot chefs and self decorating rooms.
➜In 2050 smart clothes will be common in
our wardrobes.
➜Robot storage controls will give you a
central point to control the house from.

15. Major Solar Storm
➜The biggest natural disaster that could
affect Earth in the near future doesn’t even
originate from our planet; it comes from the
Sun.
➜the Earth’s magnetic field protects
humans from the barrage of radiation, but
solar storms can affect satellite-based
technology

cruise along on the highway without driver
intervention,
➜The commuter of the future may have a "personal
mobility portfolio", with the car being only one part of it.
An automobile might be there to drive for pleasure on
the weekend
➜In addition to cars driving on their own, the future car
will also run on just about anything: solar power,

capacitor.
20. ECONOMY BY 2050
