The immediate future through the eyes of futurist artists

On the Internet for a long time go all sorts of drawings, which depict our time, as it was represented by people about 100 years ago. The drawings are quite interesting, they were clearly created by people (or people) with fantasy. Our time is very different from what his ancestors imagined, but there are ideas that have become reality.

Now things are changing much faster than before. Work, people, life - and all this is caused by the rapid technological process. Some aspects of the near future of mankind were discussed at the next meeting of the World Economic Forum. Among the other visitors to the event, representatives of the AKQA agency and the Misk Global Forum attended. The ideas heard were then presented as illustrations.

The future depicted on them is the year 2030, plus or minus a few years.

Some illustrations look fantastic, but some of them can be implemented now, using existing technologies. For example, "printers for super homes" - their prototypes are already there and are working.

Landfill Recycler

And no, this is not about those who simply take out the garbage in modern waste processing enterprises. Here is the driver of a portable recycling plant rolling around in landfills. There are a lot of such dumps and you need to do something with them right now.

Keeper of national identity

Modern cities change the appearance of the surface of the Earth. The monuments of the past, cultural objects that personify national identity are destroyed. Perhaps in the future there will be specialists who can save all this for posterity.

Blockchain Banking Engineer

This profession, perhaps from the near future. It is difficult to imagine why the blockchain cell (ATM?) Is located on the water, but it is possible that this will happen.

Construction 3D printer operator

Building printers exist now, with their help they build small houses, and this is no longer a concept, but an actual commercial technology.

In the future, perhaps, there will be giant construction vehicles, which will be able to build no less giant buildings and structures.

Technology Friendliness Appraiser

A representative of this profession will evaluate new technologies for their compliance with the expectations of society and the possibility of introducing such technologies into widespread use.

Telemedic

Not all regions have doctors. The picture is a vivid example of telemedicine, when a surgeon, possibly thousands of miles away from a person, directs the operation performed by a specialized device.

What do you think, how realistic are these pictures of the future and what specialties of the future have not been mentioned?
