Have you ever wondered where you or your children may be living in 2050? Experts predict that by then three-quarters of the world's population will live in cities. For part of its Tomorrow's Cities season the BBC takes a look through the crystal ball to imagine what city life might be like in 40 years' time.

I find this stuff fascinating, it's like something from a sci-fi film.

 

A drone delivering food to your self heating house, after you've arrived home by robo-taxi, from shopping with a robotic shopping assistant all day.

I'll be too old to be relevant in 2050.

 

I imagine a world where computers would completely be integrated into every aspect of our lives.

 

Maybe even delving into the science-fiction where we all have nanobots in our bloodstream that monitor our health.

Who knows if we'll still even be here in 2050! Lol I'm definitely not moving to a big city. I plan on moving to a small city in MA, PA, IL, or FL...LOL

That's in 37 years or so, so I'd be 58. If current 60 year olds are in any indication I might have difficulty adjusting to the new technologies and might never really embrace them.
