Evolution
In this particular future, humans have created the technology to upload their consciousness into robots. People are able to live their life as a robot, retaining only their thoughts and personality, while their physical body lies dormant, linked to the machines. After years of being mass produced in factories, these robots are affordable for almost anyone. Consumerism still exists fifty years from now, although people want to accessorize their robot selves instead of their actual body. Attachments of all sorts can be built onto the figure, ranging from garden hoses to weapons. Clothes fitted for normal humans are still used by robots. The wealthy tend to wear suits and formal wear, while the lower class prefer their default exoskeleton. Despite this new stage of human evolution, society continues to function normally, though some would argue that this utopia leads humanity down a dangerous and immoral path. Although this technological singularity has created a new vehicle that the mind can inhabit, it remains to be seen whether these robots will change the meaning of what it means to be human.
