A
We don't know how different our life will be in the future.We can only try to imagine it.
At first we think about human relationships.In the year 2050,we will use computers almost
every day,we will be making new friends through the Interneteven our husbands or wives will
be met in this way.It will be much faster and easier for us.On the other hand,our relationships
with other people won't be as important as they are today-we will feel a little lonely.
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050.For example,they will be used
by children at school to make their learning casier.In addition,there will be more other machines
which will play a similar role as computers,like robots which will do the housework for us.
Spending holidays will also be completely different.Travelling to other planets or to the
moon will be available for everyone.Means of transport will,of course,change,too.We will be
using solar-powered cars,which will be much environmentally friendly.
We could expect that the faster economic development would lead to a more polluted environment.
But it isn't true.We will pay more attention to protecting the environment.Scientists will probably find
cures for many dangerous diseases,like cancer or AIDS.Therefore,our surroundings as well as health will
be in better condition.
Although we cannot predict the exact changes which will be made in the world,we often
think about them.We worry about our and our children's future;we have expectations,hopes as
well as fears.But I think we should be rather sanguine about our futurc.We should be happy and
believe good things will happen.
