Какая будет будущая жизнь в городе через 50 лет? (на английском)

What Will Happen In 50 Years Time? Many people wonder what life will be like in 50 years time. No one can know for sure, but there are certain forecasts about world demographics, weather conditions, technology development, spaceflights, etc. In my opinion, it’s going to be the era of various machines, the so-called robots. They will be everywhere around. It will include self-operated vehicles, home-based robots, automatic workers, computer-based education and many other modern facilities. At the moment many countries spend millions to explore other planets and to make sure they contain appropriate living conditions. So, perhaps, in 50 years time people will be able to visit other planets in spaceships. It will become a popular type of tourism. Moreover, people will be able to purchase lands and build houses on some planets. Today it might sound as an absurd, but who knows how the things will change in the future. Speaking about different modes of transport, I’m sure we’ll have lots self-operated vehicles which can move around without a pilot or a driver. As a result many people will stay unemployed. The same can happen to office workers. It is becoming more and more popular to replace humans with robots. Robots are the machines, which are programmed to do certain jobs. So, the employers would prefer to purchase one robot, instead of hiring several people. On top of that, I think that surrounding nature will suffer greatly from technological progress. For that reason, people would prefer to stay day and night in their mighty skyscrapers, instead of taking long walks in the parks. All these forecasts are approximate, so it’s better to wait and see.
