Super-skyscrapers which will dwarf the Shard, underwater 'bubble' cities and 'origami' furniture are all likely to be reality in 100 years’ time, according to a team of top scientists. That’s the verdict of a new study which paints a vivid picture of our future lives, suggesting the way we live, work and play will change beyond all recognition over the course of the next century. The SmartThings Future Living Report was authored by a team of leading academics including TV presenter and one of the UK’s leading space scientists, Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, award-winning futurist architects and lecturers at the University of Westminster Arthur Mamou-Mani and Toby Burgess, as well as pioneering urbanists Linda Aitken and Els Leclerq. The report was commissioned on behalf of SmartThings, a system which easily allows people to make their home smarter, meaning that at any time and from anywhere it is possible to switch on lights, turn up the thermostat or unlock the back door, all via a simple app. The predictions have been brought to life via detailed animated architectural renders which show a futuristic London skyline where high-rise apartments dwarf Europe’s highest building, The Shard, and show drone transportation and bubble-like underwater cities. Many of the predictions were influenced by environmental conditions, with growing populations leading to the development of structures that are better able to cope with space constraints and diminishing resources.

6. Colonizing the moon? No thank you I like earth very much and if it comes down to it I am one of the few that would rather die here. What if colonizing the moon makes it somehow destroy the hold it has on earth bringing it farther away causing massive weather changes that kill us?
