*** STRICT ONLINE EMBARGO APPLIES: 00.01AM 29/08/2019 *** Pic by Mercury Press – (Pictured: Scientist and television presenter Greg Foot ) – From aquatic highways to flying taxis, space hotels and REAL LIFE QUIDDITCH – boffins have predicted the sci fi inventions we could be enjoying in just 50 years time. Robotic self-cleaning homes, body implants that monitor our health and commuters relying on drone-copter air taxis and buses – which use the airspace above rivers for a clear route – were the top expert predictions set to become a reality for Brits by 2069. A new report released by Samsung today [THURS] also forecast within the next five decades reusable space rockets will get us from London to New York in 40 minutes at 20,000 miles per hour, and 4D Quidditch-style aerial sports matches will be played in stadiums around the world. Experts also prophesied we will live and work underground in inverted skyscrapers dubbed earthscrapers while aquatic tube superhighways travelled in via pods will let commuters zip between the UK and Scandinavia in under an hour. In 50 years, virtual carers will nudge us to make the healthiest choices, while vital organs will be 3D printed to provide instant replacements which could even exceed the quality of those we are born with, including eyes with improved vision at night and hearts or lungs that enhance an athletes performance. Insects will be our main protein source with bug burger takeaways and greasy worm kebab shops filling the high street and every kitchen equipped with counter-top insect growing pods. When it comes to watching films at home in 2069, affordable haptic suits which create sensations of touch will fool all five of our senses, allowing us to physically feel the film or video game were enjoying. And on holidays, well be packing our bags and heading to luxury space hotels which orbit the moon and other planets while generating their own gravity. Six of Britain’s leading futurists came
