Exercising in 2024.
We are in the year 2024, the future seems clear, everything is digitized, personalized and registered; Even all our behaviors leave traces that are tracked by intelligent systems which help us to have a better lifestyle.
Our needs have changed and with them the technology. Now, everything is done through augmented reality. The technology is on and the geolocation services are a fundamental part of our behavior. From the way we learn in classrooms to the way we buy; everything is – more or less – based on artificial intelligence. In turn, the cities are different, they are completely intelligent and help us to better understand our needs by having direct access to the authorities, obtaining a personal dialogue instantly.
Today, in the year 2024, technology allows us to monitor us 24 hours a day through a chip which detects any change in our body before the first symptoms appear, providing us with the perfect dose to prevent future diseases.
We live in an era where we do not have time to exercise, so we have smart beds which exercise and rejuvenate us while we sleep by administering the nutrients required to be healthy and full of energy.
But now, for real…
2019, the world is spinning so fast that we want everything immediately. In 2024, things won’t have changed for good in this regard. If in the past we demanded to have everything immediately, then we want it instantly. Today people are so busy that they have forgotten what it is to have patience, therefore, they request results at the moment. But not any kind of results, they have to be 100% reliable, accurate and personalized.
We will forget that our entire universe was based on applications. Times and technology have changed. Of course, we continue using a lot of applications, however, they have transformed. Applications are becoming an operating systems. We do not rely in applications to learn “the new technique of Tai Chi” or a new Yoga posture. We have personalized smart training equipment which encourages us to exercise. In turn, our movements are still identified through sensors, however, all around us is smart.
As in INDEED we like to be creative, innovative and look into the future, we create the following concepts which we are sure will help us to stay motivated while exercising, giving us immediate benefits making them part of our way of life.
