According to BBC News report online, technology may be responsible for future humans to split into two species -- similar to what HG Wells predicted a century
Evolutionary theorist Oliver Curry, London School of Economics,forecasts that there will be a genetic upper class and a dim-witted underclass in the future.
What Curry doesn't say is how my avatar will look in thousands of years?
According to Hollywood2020 there could be two species of avatars too
-- here are two examples that I found to depict our forecast:
green versus blonde?
HUMANS TO PEAK IN 3000....and then decline due to tech!
Humans will peak in the the year 3000
--before a decline DUE TO DEPENDENCE ON TECHNOLOGY according to British evolotuionary theorist Oliver Curry.
He adds that in 10,000 years humans reliance on tech may command a price from the race. Curry says, "Spoiled by gadgets designed to meet their every need, they could come to resemble domesticated animals."
OVER-RELIANCE ON TECH -- DIRE CONSEQUENCES????
"While science and technology have the potential to create an ideal habitat for humanity over the next millennium, there is a possibility of a monumental genetic hangover over the subsequent millennia due to an over-reliance on technology reducing our natural capacity to resist disease, or our evolved ability to get along with each other, said Dr Curry. In researching Curry's research -- Hollywood2020 found that he spent 2 months (TWO MONTHS) on this study for Satellite TV Channel BRAVO....I noticed that some of the British newspapers had a bit of a backlash to his report --asking if readers thought that TV stations should stop commissioning reports like this from scientists who 'obviously were making up the future" ....wow we spent about two minutes researching the future of our avatar!!! |
