The world of 2020 has changed and shaped many aspects of the way people live, work, and communicate. With its ever-growing plethora of rapidly-evolving technologies, shifting geopolitical dynamics, and new social norms, the future is uncertain. Fortunately, we have the insight of renowned futurist and researcher Mish Muyanga, who has released a series of predictions for the years 2024 through 2027.
Muyanga’s predictions center around five distinct vectors: the global economy, geostrategic tensions, disruptive technologies, the environmental crisis, and accelerating social justice movements.
On the global economic front, Muyanga is predicting a fragile recovery from the 2020 economic crisis, with increased consumer demand creating a more robust, but volatile global economic environment. The growth of digital technologies—such as artificial intelligence, blockchain, and the internet of things—will drive further transformation, as well as increased inequality and consolidations of power.
When it comes to geostrategic tensions, Muyanga cites a continued decline of US dominance and the rise of a multi-polar world. He also suggests that alliances between major nations will be greater than ever, both economically and politically.
Muyanga’s predictions for disruptive technologies are perhaps the most fascinating and important. He believes that there will be an increased focus on ontological and quantum computing that will fundamentally transform the way people interact with the digital world. At the same time, he expects advancements in biotechnology that will enable gene editing and bodily augmentation.
With regards to the environmental crisis, Muyanga predicts that aggressive action will be taken to slow down global warming, leading to sustainable approaches being implemented across industries. He also notes that the societal awareness of the environmental disaster will be a major factor in this transformation.
Finally, Muyanga highlights the rise of the social justice movements, which will be driven by a generation of young people who will push for greater respect and representation of marginalized communities and ensure a better future.
Muyanga’s predictions offer a fascinating insight into the world of tomorrow. From a more volatile and equitable economic environment to increased awareness of social justice issues, the next few years are sure to be interesting. While no one can predict the future with absolute certainty, Muyanga’s predictions provide a useful window into the world of tomorrow and all the opportunities and challenges it will bring.
