As we prepare to celebrate the United States semiquincentennial, let’s look ahead another quarter millennium and ask: What will our cities be like in the year 2276?
December is 250 Years in the Future Month on Technical.ly’s 2024 editorial calendar. Before this year ends, we want your help in imagining the future.
Of course, we can’t know everything or even most of what will happen. But by using our collective imagination, we can go beyond individual products, devices and tools to envision how our future society might work — especially given the starting state of the world today and some macro trends like climate change, a declining population, increasingly refined machine learning and artificial intelligence.
If we can articulate a vision for what life might look like 250 years from now, we can inspire pathways to get there and manifest our future.
