7 Ways Adulting Will Pretty Much Be Obsolete in 2116
Our world today is almost unrecognizable from a century ago, so what can we expect jumping a century ahead?
Adulting is hard. Scheduling doctor appointments, taking your car to get it serviced yourself and paying bills absolutely suck. Why were we trusted with so much responsibility? We weren't the ones that brought ourselves into this world.
Thankfully, scientists have predicted what our world would look like in the future and spoiler alert: it makes living life as an adult a lot easier. The Samsung Future Living Report was compiled by a group of scientists, architects and urban planners who have some great insight into what our world will look like in 100 years.
Pretty much every ~adult~ task you hate will be eliminated, giving you time to do whatever your adult heart pleases.
It seems like we're just trying to become lazier and lazier each year, but you know what? I'm all for the convenience.
1. You won't have to schedule those pesky doctor appointments
These in-home pods will fully scan your body to determine if you're truly sick and where the problem is. They'll even be able to dispense medication or dispatch personnel when needed.
And people thought those full-body scanners at airports were weird...
2. You won't have to cook dinner or pay someone deliver it to you
Cooking will be a breeze when you can download meals from top chefs to your 3D printer (though no word on if auto-washing dishes will be a thing).
We currently have the technology for printing 3D meals, although they look less than appetizing. It's okay, though. Scientists still have another 100 years to make it look just like the Big Mac in "Spy Kids."
3. You won't have to work overtime in order to afford that dream view from your place
Interior design will be completely dependent on your mood, thanks to customizable smart walls that can change on a whim.
Live right next to a noisy highway? Don't worry, you can change your view to a beautiful sunrise over the countryside. Want a sunset over the beach? You got it.
Think old-school "Smart House" style.
4. You pretty much won't have to leave at all
Our cities will have completely transformed with towering mega structures that will "dwarf today's skyscrapers" and "earth scrapers" will tunnel 25 stories underground.
What does this mean for you? You never have to leave the comforts of your own home if you don't want to. Everything will pretty much be accessible in these tall-ass buildings.
5. Don't feel like dealing with people on Earth?
Even farther into the deep, the report predicts the creation of underwater cities that use the water to create breathable atmospheres.
Zetus lapetus! It's basically "Zenon" underwater, guys.
6. You won't have to wait at the DMV for hours to renew your driver's license
Travel will have revolutionized too, and roads will be a thing of the past when everyone travels the skyways in their own personal drones.
Since self-driving cars are supposed to be a thing by 2020, it only makes sense that the drones will be self-driving, too.
7. You'll be able to take a vacation pretty much anywhere on Earth without spending your entire life's savings, basically throwing adult caution to the wind
As for vacations, drones will be able to transport entire homes to your destination, finally making packing a thing of the past.
