What will happen in 50 years? Great future? The modern world is changing very quickly. Even 50 years ago, there were no things without which modern life is simply not possible: I’m talking about smartphones, personal computers, and the newest medicines and much more. A look at what was the world like 50 years ago can help in predicting what the world will be in 50 years from now. Here are my thoughts on this. 1. Tolerance and Equality Over the past 50 years, people have become much more tolerant (at least in developed countries). And I'm not just talking about equal rights for, for example, representatives of the LGBT community. I am speaking including about of a significant improvement in the role of women in the world — now women are perceived as equal members of society, and they have freedom to choose their own way of life. However, we still have much to strive for: unfortunately, in some countries outdated homophobic and misogynist laws still exist, and it is difficult to predict whether they will be abolished after 50 years since it depends on the government of each individual country. If, for example, non-Islamic politicians come to power in Iran, they can return to women the same freedom that they had in the 1970s. 2. Urban environment Now China is showing very interesting projects in the field of urbanism. These are the projects of buses, and the widespread introduction of maglevs - magnetic trains, etc. It is safe to say that China is ahead of the rest. We can expect that the most stable of these projects we can see around the world in 50 years 3. GMO organisms Not long ago there was a coup in the attitude of people to GMOs: now this area is no longer covered by stigma, which means there are hopes that scientists will develop new GMO organisms. What consequences can this lead to? For instance, more affordable food and clothing. 4. Embryo Experiments and Genome Editing In some countries, scientists already were allowed for experiments on embryos and fetuses up to 12-14 weeks. This leads to great opportunities for the development of medicine. In addition, genome editing technologies, which have been used, for example, in mice, are already being polluted. If the governments of the countries are not conservative and allow the editing of the genome of children, it is possible that all genetic diseases, defects and deformities will be corrected by editing the genome
