The Future of Valentine’s Day

Monday 6 February, 2017

Picture the scene: Valentine’s Day 2035. A beaming girlfriend, wearing sensually responsive lingerie, is presented with a piece of emotional jewellery, whilst sipping a multimedia cocktail looking out on a Tahitian sunset via augmented reality. Fast forward 20 years and they may be sharing the restaurant with people dating androids or even androids dating androids – but will they be able to tell who is who?

Whilst the idea of Valentine’s Day is embedded in our society, the perception of Valentine’s Day and all it entails has changed greatly over time. From a sweet sonnet written to a lover, through to the embellished cards and gifts of today, Valentine’s Day is an ever-changing entity. With this in mind, lingerie company Sparkling Strawberry has commissioned a leading Futurologist, Dr Ian Pearson of Futurizon, to predict how Valentine’s Day will be celebrated in the decades to come. His detailed report is published today.

According to the report, these images are not scenes out of the next sci-fi blockbuster, but entirely possible in the near future. Increasingly rapid technology development could soon transform not only how we mark the year’s most romantic day, but also impact on how we conduct our romantic relationships into the future.

If you are interested in learning more about the Future of Valentine’s Day, read the full Futurizon report, or read on.

Relationships:

Today, Valentine’s Day offers a plethora of opportunities to declare and show adoration or love. Tomorrow’s Valentine’s Day greatly increases that potential, using the full scope of the real and virtual worlds, with the two seamlessly interwoven via augmented reality. Technologies will enhance gift giving, and the user experience. The simplest piece of lingerie could become a sensory world of romance, displaying moods, enhancing sensuality or even allowing people to replay a sensual experience.

One thing seems certain, Valentine’s Day will continue as we head towards the 22nd Century. The question that remains is, just how far will we go?
