How science and technology will reshape life in 2030

In the next 10–15 years, scientific and technological progress will change the industrial structure and global economic growth, and will profoundly change people’s lives, according to an article published on Bulletin of Chinese Academy of Sciences.

The article, with the title of “Visions and Scenarios of People and Science and Technology Development to 2030,” indicates that the development of science and technology (S&T) will present new trends and characteristics. Scientific and technological progress is changing the way of human production and life significantly. “On one hand, it impacts all industrial forms and changes the global industrial structure, directing the global economic growth. On the other hand, it profoundly changes people’s needs for food, clothing, housing, and transportation as well as the ways of meeting these needs. People-centered scientific and technological progress will become the main theme of the times,” says the article.
