Describe a movie or a book about the future. You should say: what it is when you watched or read it how it is related to future and explain how it has depicted the future. Model Answer 1:
This is such an interesting topic because I like to learn about what the future exactly holds for us and our world. While, many great movies have been made, and many books have also been written on this interesting subject, one particular book deserves to be specially mentioned here because of its interesting take on the future.
The name of this book is called “In 100 Years: Leading Economists Predict the Future” which was compiled and edited by an Economist, from the London School of Economics called Mr Ignacio Palacios-Huerta, in the year of 2014.
This isn’t exactly like any other regular book, with chronology of thoughts or chain events, in a sense that it only contains the views and opinions of 10 prominent economists of the world, which included Nobel laureates and several other likely laureates, in order to offer their ideas about the world of the twenty-second century.
Anyway, regular or not, this makes very interesting and stimulating reading because some common predictions – as in the common ideas and thoughts of all the 10 economists – emerge in this book. Some of these predictions include, but not limited to, continual improvement in technology, diminishing poverty and population growth, and catching up with most of the relatively poor countries the rich world while the server risks of climate change and the spreading of unforeseen epidemics. But, please understand that these are just some predictions, and they may not carry any resemblance with the realities.
Interesting enough though, after reading in 2017, I thought that it painted a rather rosy picture of our future world, with, of course, some predictions of bad news here and there in the book, but the main theme of the book has tried to show that the change in the “status quo” is almost inevitable as the transformation of wages and works, along with ever-increasing inequality, would probably make things lot worse before getting better, if it ever actually become better. Still, I think it is an interesting read because economists, in general, probably are more equipped to predict the future a bit better than some science fiction writers. Model Answer 2:
Artificial Intelligence, also known as A. I. , is a science fiction movie which was made about the future. This science-fiction drama movie was directed and produced by the famous movie maker Steven Spielberg and was released in the year 2001. This movie was adapted from a short story and was a hit in the American Box office. I watched it at the end of 2001 for the first time and later in 2012, I watched it again with my family members. The movie plot was set to a future time when the number of population was drastically reduced due to global warming and other natural disasters. As the name of the movie implies, artificial intelligence has flourished at that time and people produced robots that exactly resembled human. Not only they look like the human, but they also act, think and feel like a human. The movie set the plot at a time that is yet to come. The human-like robots, their feelings, love, hatred etc are still in its preliminary stage but the movie depicts the time when all of those have been achieved.
The storyline went on to further future, two thousand years later when the humans are extinct and Manhattan city got buried under several hundred feet of glacial ice. Then the superintelligence has evolved who could create a clone of human from the DNA.
The movie depicted the future where global warming and other natural disasters will cause a dramatic decrease in the number of the human population. At a later stage, the movie shows that humans are extinct and only highly intelligent powers exist. The intelligence gets so powerful that they can create the human from their DNA. They become interested in human and want to know about human to find the true meaning of existence.

The name of this

which
was compiled

Interesting
enough
though, after reading in 2017, I
thought
that it painted a
rather
rosy picture of our

world
, with,
of course
,
some
predictions
of
bad
news here and there in the
book

but
the main theme of the
book
has tried to
show
that the
change
in the “status quo” is almost inevitable as the transformation of wages and works, along with ever-increasing inequality, would
probably
make
things lot worse
before
getting better, if it ever

Still
, I

it is an

because

probably

Model Answer 2:
Artificial Intelligence,
also
known as A. I.
,
is a science fiction
movie
which
was made
about the
future
. This science-fiction drama
movie
was directed
and produced by the
famous
movie
maker Steven Spielberg and
was released
in the
year
2001. This
movie
was adapted
from a short story and was a hit in the American Box office.
I
watched
it at the
end
of 2001 for the
first
time
and later in 2012, I
watched
it again with my family members. The
movie
plot
was set
to a
future
time
when the number of population was
drastically
reduced
due to global warming and
other
natural disasters. As the name of the
movie
implies, artificial intelligence has flourished at that
time
and
people
produced robots that exactly resembled
human
. Not
only
they look like the
human
,
but
they
also
act,
think
and feel like a
human
. The
movie
set the plot at a
time
that is
yet
to
come
. The human-like robots, their feelings,
love
, hatred etc are
still
in its preliminary stage
but
the
movie
depicts the
time
when all of those have
been achieved
.
The
storyline went on to
further
future
, two thousand years later when the
humans
are extinct and Manhattan city
got
buried under several hundred feet of glacial ice. Then the
superintelligence
has evolved who could create a clone of
human
from the DNA.
The
movie
depicted the
future
where global warming and
other
natural disasters will cause a dramatic decrease in the number of the
human
population. At a later stage, the
movie
shows
that
humans
are extinct and
only
highly
intelligent powers exist. The intelligence
gets
so
powerful that they can create the
human
from their DNA. They become interested in
human
and want to know about
human
to find the true meaning of existence.
