How Will Life in 2050 Be Like?
What picture of the future do you have? Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as it is now? What do you hope about the future? Scientists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields(领域).
First of all, it seems that channels(频道) will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will choose a TV programme from a "menu" and a computer will send the programme directly to the television. And we will be able to smell and feel the things that we see on television.
In transportation, cars will have computers to control(控制) the speed and there won't be any accidents. Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers where they are. By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to the place where you are going.
In technology, many factories and big companies will use robots instead of people, because they do not ask for pay rises, and they work 24 hours a day. And we will see robots everywhere—in schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.
In medicine technology, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and hear again. Scientists will be able to make clones(克隆) of people and decide how they look and how they behave.
