And yes, a ‘futurologist’ is a real thing!
Dr. James Bellini is a futurologist who dubs himself a “historian of the future.” He just released a series of predictions about where we’ll be in the year 2050, which if you think about it really isn’t that far away. Here are some surprising predictions from Dr. Future that you might find interesting. Actually you will find them interesting, he already saw it in the future yesterday.
You'll be eating bugs for din-din
Bellini says the idea of insects for dinner will be mainstream in 2050. I’m cool with it. I could actually go for a beetle burrito right now. Mmmm… you know you’re craving a spider smoothie too.
In the future I’ll use leaves like this one to attract a handful of ants then eat them like Raisinettes.
Our clothes will be cleaned by sound
No more water in our washers! Dr. Bellini says in 2050 our clothes will be cleaned by ultrasonic waves – high-frequency sound waves transmitted through liquid to scrub your clothes clean. We can try to do that now. Just tell me when you’re going to put your clothes on your radio speaker and I’ll try to make noises with my mouth to clean them. I’m sure it’ll work – watch those grass stains and cigarette smells disappear.
Bye bye bye detergent!! Ok tell the truth you sang that didn’t you? You’re N’Sync.
All New England teams will win all of the championships
Congratulations New England!! I just added this one myself without Dr. Bellini’s help but congratulations just the same. The 2050’s are gonna RULE! And we’ll celebrate all of those championships with a nice handful of ants (which if you were paying attention I attracted with that leaf, you’re welcome).
In the future I’ll use leaves like this one to attract a handful of ants then eat them like Raisinettes.
