Since the beginning of the century, many things have changed for society. At the current speed of changes, for example in technology, many more changes are about to shape the way we live the remaining 80 years of this century. In this essay, possible changes will be described with examples.
Firstly, this new century has been marked by fast changes in technology, mainly by the internet. Nowadays, we have smartphones with touch screens, flexible laptops and speakers that follow our instructions. I believe, that within this century, humans will be able to implant certain functions of their phones into their ears or brains directly, making the physical use of a phone unnecessary for some functions. For example, implants that sit in the ear could take over the functionof phone calls. Such implants may also be able to send text messages that we dictate, without having to type those in by hand.
Secondly, concerned scientists are currently describing a dark future for humanity when it comes to climate change. Already, many countries, especially in Europe, are expieriencing hot summers with record-breaking temperatures, while others suffer from devastating storms, for example North America. I predict that hot summers will become even hotter and longer, bringing droughts to countries. I also think that weather in general will get more wild, with storms becoming more frequent and stronger, bringing more destruction and floods. However, I think that society will get more aware of climate change and will increasingly try to live a more environmentally friendly lifestyle. For example, plastic use will be seen more and more critical and electric cars will become more popular.
To conclude, we can already see the beginning of changes that this century will bring, including wild weather and smarter technology. However, no one can predict the future, so it is to see, what will really happen within the next 80 years.
Since the beginning of the century,
many
things have
changed
for society. At the
current
speed of
changes
, for
example
in technology,
many
more
changes
are about to shape the way we
live
the remaining 80 years of this century. In this essay, possible
changes
will be
described
with examples.
Firstly
, this new century has
been marked
by
fast
changes
in technology,
mainly
by the internet. Nowadays, we have smartphones with touch screens, flexible laptops and speakers that follow our instructions. I believe, that within this century, humans will be able to implant certain functions of their phones into their ears or brains
directly
, making the physical
use
of a phone unnecessary for
some
functions. For
example
, implants that sit in the ear could take over the
functionof
phone calls. Such implants may
also
be able to
send
text messages that we dictate, without having to type those in by hand.
Secondly
, concerned scientists are
currently
describing a dark future for humanity when it
comes
to climate
change
. Already,
many
countries,
especially
in Europe, are
expieriencing
hot summers with record-breaking temperatures, while others suffer from devastating storms, for
example
North America. I predict that hot summers will become even hotter and longer, bringing droughts to countries. I
also
think
that weather
in general
will
get
more wild, with storms becoming more frequent and stronger, bringing more destruction and floods.
However
, I
think
that society will
get
more aware of climate
change
and will
increasingly
try to
live
a more
environmentally
friendly lifestyle. For
example
, plastic
use
will be
seen
more and more critical and electric cars will become more popular.
To conclude
, we can already
see
the beginning of
changes
that this century will bring, including wild weather and smarter technology.
However
, no one can predict the future,
so
it is to
see
, what will
really
happen within the
next
80 years.
