10 years ago… we said that our gears will withstand temperatures above 50°. With climate chaos reshaping survival gear, heat-resistant shelters and ultra-durable materials would become the new must-haves. Unfortunately, we were right.

10 years ago… we said that we will inhale literally everything, from food to vaccines. In a murky world of scarcity and pollution, protective atmospheric bubbles and inhalable nutrition or medical treatments become survival (and revival) tools.

10 years ago… we said that our next gyms will be metabolic clubs. From hormone-boosting workouts to personal biologists, we thought the future gym would be a biohacking playground where holistic performance meets precision health. And not sure that's a good thing.

10 years ago… we said that Bioreactors will be our new expresso machines. From spirulina to bespoke drugs to cosmetics, we thought fermentation and biofabrication would be moving from labs to kitchens. But AI-devices seem to have replaced living apparatus.

10 years ago… we said that the digital world will come to an end. That the rise of IRL communities, digital detox activism, and anti-surveillance movements would signal the decline of the always-online era. We definitely didn't foresee the technofascist positioning of the likes of Musk & Zuckerberg.
