Futurologist Dr Ian Pearson has predicted how humans will evolve by 2050

He claims transhumanism will be normal and create Homo optimus species

New species would be a mix of human and computer with superior senses

We could also turn our pets into talking 'real-life Furbies' 

If you're under the age of 40, there is a good chance you will achieve 'electronic immortality' during your lifetime.

This is the idea that all of your thoughts and experiences will be uploaded and stored online for future generations. 

That's according to a futurologist who not only believes technology will let humans merge with computers, that this will create an entirely new species called Homo optimus.

And, he claims this could occur as soon as 2050.

The predictions were made by Dr Ian Pearson as part of the lead up to The Big Bang Fair 2016.
