Have you ever wondered what it would be like to travel in the future? It would be an unbelievable experience to witness how advanced our human beings will be and how our world will evolve. Future travel in 2050 is predicted to be quite different from now.
Take staying in hotel as an example. If you book a room in advance, you won’t check in when you arrive there. Instead, the facial recognition programme can help recognize your face in the future trip, match you with your room-booked message and send messages to your phone as you come into the hotel without stopping.
In the airports, ▲. You needn’t a passport, and your information will be stored in the cloud. This type of technology not only covers what we are familiar with like fingerprints or face scans, but also your heartbeat, because everyone’s heartbeat is unique.
As for the luggages, especially the heavy ones, they will be sent directly from the former train or taxi to the right plane. That taxi will not be like the ones today. People will be expected to travel to the airport and around their holiday destination, which refers to electric air taxis which can take off and land in without a runway. If you meet with the trouble of packing, 3D printers will provide perfect solutions. You just need to provide your destination with your size using a body scan before you fly. On arrival, you will find a wardrobe (衣橱) filled with 3D-printed clothes. When you leave, the clothes will be recycled and reprinted for the next tourist, which can also make your holiday stylish and more environment-friendly.
If you think these predictions are unbelievable now, you can look back on 30 years ago, and then you’ll find it’s all possible. Think back to the 1990s, when smartphones were just a wild dream, and notebook computers were still almost years away from being invented. Similarly, when we look forward to the next 30 years, the possibilities for development in technology for travel are endless.
