GENERAL THESIS

FRIENDSHIPS & RELATIONSHIPS WILL BECOME MORE DIVERSE AND COLORFUL; TRADITIONAL IMAGES WILL CRUMBLE

SPECULATION BASE

→ Humans will continue to have and value friendly relations

→ Humans will continue to strive for "good" relationships

→ Artificial systems will advance in their respective capabilities

→ Humans will trust those systems at least partially to perform the given task

→ Identity and individual preference will play a large part in future relationships

SOCIAL INFLUENCES

→ Women and Men become (more) equal; social roles will break further down (eg. men more involved in raising children etc.)

→ Kids come into life at a later point since lifespan is expanded so hedonistic exploration phase of potential parents expands

→ Family becomes a more open term (more than two partners, gender freedom, not living together, maybe more than one family)

→ Social norms open up and "love tech" evolves; human wish for exploration and new experiences grows as well

→ As people get older and stay healthier longer the elder remain more self sufficient for longer

→ Artificial entities become an important part in raising and teaching children

→ The freedom of exploration regarding the places we live and work will increase

→ Marriage becomes rarer (maybe even time limited)
