What other technologies will shape the world of the 26th century? Futurist and author Adrian Berry believes the average human life span will reach 140 years and that the digital storage of human personalities will enable a kind of computerized immortality Humans will farm the oceans, travel in starships and reside in both lunar and Martian colonies while robots explore the outer cosmos
