People have always wanted to know what the future will look like. Then, how can we? The world has changed a lot in the last 150 years, but we humans are driven by the same basic needs as we were 150 years ago, such as food, sleep, the feeling of being appreciated and loved. No. In addition, generally speaking, the inventions for the last 150 years have been a human effort for freedom and communication, to be able to get in control of the time and world. Since there is still much to do in this area, this will be the focus at least for the next150 years.
But why do we need to predict the future? Predicting the future is important for two reasons: First, we need to start to think about what kind of future we would like for ourselves and to pass on to the next generation.
How about the virtual worlds? It might be in the future to experience the sand between your toes, and hear the waves, just lying in your bed at home. So, even if a great invention is there for an affordable price, it'll never take the place of the common experience if it is not real.
What we'll see in the next 50 years is the transition (过渡) from an oil-dependent society to a new society. Here there'll be new medicine, continued exploration of space, challenges in the climate change, and new inventions that make life a little easier.
A. Will this change in the next 150 years?
B. So what will the future look like then?
D. Well, to understand the future, you must know the past.
E. However, you'll never get the feeling of being there.
F. However, no matter how real the experience will feel, it doesn't happen for real.
G. Then we need to know what decisions we need to make today that will give the best result in the future.
