LIFE IN 2200 As you know, life in 2200 will be very different. Everyone thinks there will be flying cars, robots and other interesting things. We don’t know exactly the future, but we can make predictions of what will happen, as some people did.
One of the most famous predictors is Nostradamus (14th December 1503-2nd July 1566). He predicted lots of interesting historical events, such as: the Great Fire of London, Hitler and World War 2 and the rise of Napoleon.
Dr. James Hansen predicted in a book he wrote in 1986 that in the future water would start to grow up fast because of the West Antarctic ice sheet alone. Research already proved that from the 20th century to the 21st century the water level rose from 5 to 6 metres. According to scientists’ calculations countries in the 23rd century will be underwater. In the future people will probably feed themselves by fixing to their arm a patch that includes all the nutrients they need daily.
Others say that the food will be printed 3D in some very strange shapes. These will carry the exact amount of nutrients and calories bodies need and will have various flavours such as roasted chicken or French fries.
The medicine will develop more than you may think. For example, very soon, head transplants will be carried out. This year, the Italian brain surgeon Sergio Canavero, called “Doctor Frankenstein” will coordinate the first human head transplant. The intervention will last 36 hours. Can you picture surgery in 2200? A lot of people with lethal diseases will not die thanks to this super great “invention”.
