Life in the future (2050)

your grandchild

This is he. He is so beautiful!
Hello!

But what will he see…

…when he open his eyes?

The world of 2050

People and relationships in the year 2050
Friendship – one of the most important human relationships – will have changed dramatically. The world’s getting quicker all the time and we have no time for talking or meeting. We will have little real human contact, because of computers. Even now many people make friend through the Internet because they haven’t them in reality. Business will be in the Internet too.

We will be living faster, but will we be living better?
Not long ago people believed that in the future we would work less, have more free time, and be more relaxed. But today we work harder, work longer hours, and are more stressed than 10 years ago. We walk faster, talk faster, and sleep less then previous generations. Our work also more stressful and we need to think about survival. So, if we don’t slow down, we won’t live as long as our parents.
For most people, faster doesn’t mean better

Education in 2050
Education will have changed a lot too. Perhaps there will be no more real schools in the future, so we will study near our computers – virtual teachers will be giving the lessons from the computer screen or we will not need study at all. After our birth doctors will insert special chip with all knowledge, which have been saving up during the ages. What is more, there will be “eating books” – pills, which after eating will bring you new knowledge.

Medicine in 2050
To my mind, in 2050 scientists will have search medicines from such horrible illnesses as AID or CANCER. Other illnesses will be destroyed, so people will not become ill. All hospitals will be having good and modern equipment for diagnosing the illness. Moreover, there will be pills, which will independently find the reason of illness and secure.

travel on other planets
Not in 2050, but later we will travel on holidays on other planets, I hope. Nowadays there are a lot of projects of building space-hotels or space-cities, where people can live or spend their holidays. Perhaps, scientists haven’t found appropriate planet, but I believe, that my grandchildren will be able to visit one of such space-hotels

Traveling at all
I think by the year 2050 traveling on our own planet will have changed a lot. People will travel more, transport will become faster and cheaper. Because of problem with fossil fuels we might see more solar-powered cars, electric trains, different forms of transport – it will have replaced the cars we use nowadays. On the other hand, if there are many more people traveling around, our cities will be crowded.

the environment
By the year 2050 we will have started using cleaner forms of energy and environmentally-friendly cars. People will have understood what they did with our planet before and will be searching for a solution. They will recycle rubbish and revive forests. I hope that by 2050 people will have stopped pollute and harm the environment.

Cyberspace
In the last 30 years, the population of Internet has grown quickly. Could you imagine that in 1983, there were only 200 computers connected to the Internet and now this number is around 50 million? No? So you should understand that this number will increase faster and faster. Maybe in the future we will even travel through the Internet.

Some interesting ideas
Let's say you're watching a tennis match. You like Pete's tennis rocket you see, or Lindsay's shoes, or the umbrella shading the umpire. You take your pointing device and touch the thing you like on your screen. Up pops a message (digitized voice if you prefer) asking if you'd like to buy the product or display information now, or store the request until the match is over.
