A complex and increasingly technologized world is coming, growing challenges and challenges, particularly when talking about the New Human, a construct associated with the idea of the improvement of the individual, which promotes Transhumanism, in which the advances of technology to improve the quality of life of all the inhabitants of the planet are highlighted, with the advent of the digital revolution and all those smart devices. In this sense, the objective of this article is to situate the reflection on this New Human, and to identify its possible needs, social problems and challenges in Mexico in the coming years 2025, 2030, 2040 and 2050. To this end, a statistical-prospective analysis was developed on the main sociodemographic variables. Using databases, and information from demographic observatories and metadata, generated by CEPALSTAT (2024), The United Nation (2024), the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC, 2024) and the National Survey on the Availability and Use of Information Technologies in Households (ENDUTIH, 2022). Concluding that the New Human in the coming years will be an aging being, in overcrowding, and with technological inequalities, which will require having social and health services aimed at promoting healthy aging, preventing and delaying the diseases of chronological age, as well as public policies that counteract the effects of the scarcity of resources and the gaps of social and economic inequalities
