|Can you imagine what our lives will be like in the year 2050? Perhaps you will be flying off for a holiday on the moon, or maybe you will | |
|be taking your dog for a walk in virtual reality. We recently carried out a survey or 1,000 people from different countries to find out | |
|what they think life will be like in the future. The results clearly demonstrate both our hopes and fears. | |
|The survey suggests that friendship -one of the most important human relationships - will have changed dramatically. People will make |
|friends through by Internet. What is more, a large number of people will even come across their future husbands or wives in this way |
|Computers will have become absolutely essential by 2050. Even now, some people describe them as their best friend! Others, however, say that|
|we will become much more isolated from each other because we will have little real human contact. |
|Education will have changed a lot too. As more and more children will be using computer in school, certain abilities, such as mental |
|arithmetic, won't be necessary since there will be computer programs for most calculations. Even writing by hard will have become a thing of|
|the past. |
|According to the survey, home life will be better. Most people believe that by 2050 robots will be doing the house work and we will be |
|eating ready-made food. A lot of people think that we might only cook for fun in the future. |
