Strategic Predictions: 13 big things to do in the world in 2022

1. In 2022, our sharing methods will be strengthened.

We will share collectively owned cars, accommodations and equipment instead of renting them from businesses. Today, the push-pull relationship between regulators and shared services is just a glimpse of the fundamental changes that will take place in these markets. Anti-corporate sentiment will all disappear because consumers themselves will own the business world.

In 2022, drones will become a common phenomenon on farmers' fields and factory floors.

The new regulatory framework will enable the global market for commercial drones to erode the market for personal and military drone applications. Drones and automation technology have led to the automation of nearly 50% of the world's farms and factories.

3) In 2022, the successor of CRISPR gene editing technology will make the engineering of the biological world possible.

From mosquitoes with immune-enhancing functions to humans with innate resistance to common degenerative processes. Countries that are more tolerant of proliferative value will enthusiastically embrace the potential of gene editing, exposing the rest of the world to highly unpredictable external factors caused by second- and third-order changes.

4) In 2022, with 20 million driverless cars on the road, you'll be a backseat driver — including taxis, cargo trucks, public transit, and personal cars. Driving automation will unleash huge new potential for work and leisure and completely transform the design of cities and transport infrastructure. Large tracts of roads and development areas will be reused or fall into disrepair.

In 2022, the world will be covered with 100 billion internet-connected objects connected to countless sensors, processes, and people. The ocean of data created by the Internet of Everything will contain $20 trillion in new value. In this world, privacy is an outdated concept because it will mean keeping your actions away not only from human prying eyes, but also from the prying eyes of monitors, street lamps, and clothes.

In 2022, the sectors most resistant to change (government, education, and health care) will shrink by 5 to 10 percent as they are weeded out of a growing number of deals by the rise of decentralized, peer-to-peer technologies. As people connect with each other in virtual spaces, the spaces and places associated with these institutions will become less important. However, loneliness in the digital environment will become an epidemic.

7) In 2022, tech companies will have to face the problem that computing power has exceeded any real demand, not the needs of most users. As a result, the impact of Moore's Law will no longer have a direct impact on the experience of technology customers. Tech makers will move away from making technological innovation a core tenet of their business and will become experience companies that are almost entirely focused on delivering branded work and entertainment experiences.

In 2022, global weather patterns will become unstable and dangerous enough to force large numbers of people to migrate from places that are about to be uninhabitable to urban centers. The relocation of these climate refugees will further complicate local and global political tensions. The political and economic implications of these shifts will be far-reaching, and the existing model of government as national and local government will be stretched to the brink of collapse. New political organizations will begin to challenge centralized governments, as everyone is under pressure.

9. In 2022, the availability of unsecured credit will shift due to the global financial crisis and its adverse impact on the financial security of individuals worldwide. Governments will continue to be uninterested in the financial situation, and personal security will be weakened so that people will no longer have more than consumer goods and mobile phones. More and more companies will offer subscription and rental models as an alternative to ownership.

10. In 2022, many countries that were once considered "emerging" markets will begin to take their place in the development of green and sustainable infrastructure. Without a protectionist attitude towards traditional energy infrastructure, they will be leaders as they will choose to invest in more technologically advanced infrastructure development.

In 2022, although technology will gradually improve and the climate will gradually decline, life will continue to be the way it is now. Humanity will continue to love, hate, fight and reconcile in experience at all levels. The population of the future will be made up of those who are not changing so quickly.

12. In 2022, a revitalized publishing industry will continue to innovate, returning to the old model of producing books on demand, now using new technologies to expand scope and reduce costs. Clients will be able to choose from a catalogue of works, choose from a dizzying array of printing and binding options, and deliver a custom-bound book within hours. These books will become social icons of luxury and sophistication, as were custom-bound books of the eighteenth century.

13) In 2022, we are still some way from any artificial intelligence development that could lead to a singularity. Ray Kurzweil will continue to grow old.
