Transhumanism

• In coming years, closer attention will need to be paid to newer world-views such as transhumanism.
• Speculative posthumanism is committed to the notion that future technological successors of the human race could be radically alien and different.
• Embracing transhumanism will become normal, and we will become a civilisation that seeks to upgrade our bodies and lives much like we currently upgrade our smartphones.
• Resurrected humans will join future humans in a radically changed world.
• Futurists and scientists anticipate The Singularity occurring around 2030 with Transhumanism following within the next decade or two.
• Advancements in technology will not only be limited to humans.
• The next decade will be about virtual reality, implants, transhumanism.
• Living beings will need IT to satisfy their basic biological needs in 2020.
• The world which is growing today will be increasingly coloured, global south-based and has entirely different interests.
• Transhumans expect advanced computation to help predict and manage dangers that could interrupt the needed sustainability.
• There will be no distinction, post-Singularity, between human and machine.
• Sooner or later machines will do all the work and there will be a major increase in real wealth.
