  Quantified Society - crime, disease, ignorance, poverty What is the quantified society? The quantified society describes the widespread collection of information—or big data—about individuals, groups, and even whole societies, and the use of that information by public and private actors to make inferences and decisions about many aspects of our lives. To fight crime every person living person will be submitted to a detailed biometric data request - a blood sample for genetic sequencing, an ultra-high-resolution 3D scan of the head, a three-minute speech sample, three minutes of a video walking, talking, typing on a phone or keyboard, 500-word handwriting sample on a political and historical topic, 3D recording of you walking, running, climbing stairs and performing a series of simple tasks with your hands and feet.  Together with fingerprints, footprints, and high-resolution pictures of arms, hands, feet, teeth, and any special marks on the body or special devices used. Criminals are

  Future of contact sports The players will not be on the pitch but sat down at the luxury stadium wearing a team jersey, headset, and controllers.  Each player has an avatar that will take the field as life-like holograms that everyone in the stadium will be able to see. The leagues will be worldwide with a lower barrier to entry as the away team will watch in their stadium where the away players will play also in their own stadium. Players will be projected to the field where fans will be seated as close as possible to the action, games will not have breaks for adverts as these will be shown where natural gaps exist via augmented reality ads. Breaks will be longer to allow for washroom breaks, buying of merchandise, and food ordering. Due to no contact, the age limit is lowered to sixteen. Revenue will also be obtained vis heavy social media coverage of all the individual players where due to AI and ML a tailored 'human' response will always be at hand.

  Cloned Human Organs Human organs, skins, and tissue can be cloned to replace damaged organs. Organs available include the heart, lungs, liver, kidneys, bladder, esophagus, and various muscles.   This comes a long way from the current organ replacement and will have less rejection and the need for the current drugs that inhibit rejection.
