WATCH: Nokia CEO Reveals Scary Plans For Smart Technology To Be Implanted Into People’s Bodies By 2030

Pekka Lundmark, CEO of Nokia and a WEF contributor, believes that smartphone technology will be embedded into human bodies by 2030.

Lundmark stated at a panel discussion at the World Economic Forum’s annual conference in Davos this year that he believes 6G would be available by 2030, but that the smartphone will not be the most ‘common interface.’

He doesn’t believe we’ll be able to access it through our smartphones because it will be incorporated into our bodies.

“it will definitely happen. I was talking about 6G earlier, which (will happen) around 2030. I would say that by then, definitely, the smartphone as we know it today will not be the most common interface” Lundmark said adding that “Many of these things will be built directly into our bodies.”

Lundmark did not specify exactly what he was referring to but some companies, like Elon Musk’s Neuralink, are working on producing electronic devices that can be implanted into the brain and used for communication with machines and other people. On a more basic level, as seen in Sweden, microchips can be implanted into people’s fingers and used to unlock things.

Activist Post reports: Besides transhuman body augmentation, developing wearable devices to facilitate virtual and augmented reality is another innovation that the WEF is excited about.

As previously reported by The Counter Signal, the World Economic Forum has taken a key leadership role in Mark Zuckerberg’s metaverse.

“Advancements in technology have penetrated most sectors and transformed them administratively or in service delivery. The transformation, however, still needs further technological advancements to disrupt education. These advancements’ infiltration of education systems has become an increasing imperative,” reads a World Economic Forum article.

They further state that they hope to see VR and the metaverse replace conventional classrooms, even though they note that this runs the risk of isolating students from in-person experiences.

“VR does somewhat limit human interaction if not appropriately monitored and introduced with a guided programme and can cause isolation in younger generations,” the WEF writes.

Besides VR, WEF members have also stated that they’re excited about the potential for augmented reality, specifically the holograms that could be produced using 6G.

Speaking to Lundmark, Google CFO Ruth Porat added, “We believe that one of the big advantages of augmented reality is actually solving problems here on Earth.”

“It will be things like having glasses and being able to translate as you speak with glasses,” adding that the technology was “very close” to being released.

“Holograms,” Lundmark interjected.

“Holograms will be of very, very high quality in the era of 6G. I’ve already seen 5G-based demonstrations. They already work, but the next generation [of] technology — I mean, we could be having this meeting so that in reality we would be sitting in different parts of the world.”
