In the future, communication technologies will allow translation between any languages in real time using voice frequencies. Entertainment will include full immersion virtual reality experienced through microchips in the brain. Health monitoring will use nano devices producing big data to predict illness, and 3D printing may replicate organs. Climate change will disrupt farming so cities will grow food vertically in skyscrapers.
