This series will explore the job of an elderly wellness consultant in the future and how humankind will fit in to a future world order dominated with the technologies we created. We explore how "human activity" will be taken over thereby rendering the jobs of today and obsolete relic of the past beyond a century in our distant future.
Years and centuries into the future, we will be experiencing great and revolutionary change to the way we live, how society works and how humankind as a whole will see themselves. Our world has been shaped by different periods of technological growth and progress from the Neolithic Revolution to the Industrial Revolution. Exponential growth in population and rapid advancement in manufacturing, production and consumption coupled with the rise of automation, artificial intelligence and robotics will transformed human society fully-integrated with our own mechanical wonders.
It is expected that human population will reach beyond 10 billion by 2030 and global demographics is also projected to go gray as developed and industrialized countries will have more senior citizens than younger people. Caregivers, nurses and elderly wellness consultants will become not just become a high-demand job but a necessity as more younger people are needed to take care of the elderly people.
Japan has been adopting robots as elderly caregivers and companions due to a severe labor shortage in this area. The good thing about using robots is that they can operate without getting tired or bored. However, the human component remains essential as robots don't have the compassion and empathy that we have. This is where an elderly wellness consultant comes into the picture.
Advancement in medical technologies and healthcare has made it possible for us to live longer and because of that countries with large percentage of senior citizens are facing financial strains on social services. Soon services will be catered to every need a senior citizen may need and elderly wellness consultants will become an indispensable profession.
However, it is also possible that we may well be seeing this job gone as it will be possible to clone back to life a dead loved one or perhaps use an android that has the human characteristics of someone we know. Only time will tell!
