The role will use advances in stem cell technology and prosthetics to create replacements for damaged, diseased and worn-out body parts.

Other occupations of 2030 include memory augmentation surgeons, who will boost the brain's storage capacity, and space architects, who will design accommodation on the Moon and even further afield.

Advances in science and technology mean they are all likely to be part of everyday life within two decades, according to trend analysts from the Fast Future consultancy.

Now the recent posts ive made shows that we are all, what looks like is "being prepared" But for what?

I dont think its us being prepared, its simply us adapting and accepting new forms of technology and science.

The world is changing, people are changing - are we possibly evolving to quickly?

Maybe they should have included in there some type of new age debt collection position - one that defys the laws of milking blood from a stone.

You should probably change the title to the title of the article before a mod does it for you. When I saw this on breaking news forum, I thought a news outlet actually said "You are being prepared".

I would love to see poll results like this for super powers and developing countries.

Anyone have access to such info?
I would be infinitely grateful

It is true we are being prepared.....how so? we are being told the technology now so we wont be surprised when we have the worlds elite living for several hundred years.....We need these elite people to die not live forever so their ancient ideals dies with them whilst we accept new ideas of doing things.
Can you imagine the world if for arguements sake the ancient roman empire had this technology. you think we have what we have today if we still had values and attitudes from 2000 years ago.
So be prepared for a nightmare future if mankind ever gets past the next 25yrs

Hahahaha, kind of reminds me of one of my favorite movies. "Repo! the genetic opera." I wonder if we'll have we'll have some little repo men running around in the future too.

Anyway, that's pretty cool. I can't wait to get more ram. I forget things way too easily.

Errr so by 2030 we'll have finally found out how to unlock the use of our other 90% of our brain and then require an upgrade... boost the brains storage capacity my backside. Now if they had said, 'memory trainers' as a profession id say yes... but we already have those now

Futurists have strike rates as good as most 'prophets'... which is to say almost non existent and to think they actually get paid to do it.

Where do i sign up... oh and wheres my flying car, jet pack, personal robot assistant, insta food and poverty free world and moon base?.. still waiting on those promises.

Basically... I heard all this and stuff like it thrown around 20 years ago... and it still aint here so it sure as hell isnt going to be here in another 20 years.

Space architect right here. I'll upload some of my designs later maybe. For now Earthly work when I graduate. But in time space.


It's just such an exciting idea to not have to bother with gravity.
