A lot can happen in a century. In 1900 Argentina was an economic powerhouse and New Zealand had the world’s highest GDP per capita at $4300. Most people didn’t have indoor plumbing or electric lighting, much less an automobile or a radio.
Perhaps not surprisingly, people didn’t live very long, life expectancy was in the mid-forties. Penicillin wouldn’t be discovered until 1928. The concept of the atom still wasn’t widely accepted and a “computer” was a person who did arithmetic.
It’s tough to imagine what someone in 1900 would think of us, chatting on mobile phones, zipping around and tweeting away, but clearly they would have a hard time believing it all. Yet today, technology advances exponentially faster, so the change during the next century will be infinitely greater. Here are the industries that will dominate.
