What is going to happen when 2050 arrives? By: Stefany Noguera Lopera

The future. We pretty much have all at least once thought of what the future will be like. I know I do, and a lot. When I think of the future, I see it in many different ways. One way I think of the future, is when I think of Halo, or something futuristic, but will it really be like that? Unprovidentially, it will not in my opinion. The way the world is now, and all that is going on, all of the wars occurring. If it continues, there may be no future, but thats what I want to know. Will there be such a future, and if so, what do you think it will be like?

Technology in 2050 will rely telepathic forms of communication and become personalized. Holograms will replace screens and devices. The world's borders will become more and more fragile as immigration climbs steadily. Climate not just war will become the primary reason for immigration. China will become the new super power. I see mobile technology taking huge leaps forward just like we have seen in the past. 30 years ago a computer the (SZE ) of a room was doing the same thing I'm doing now on something as big as a stack of paper.

College education will be delivered almost entirely on the Internet, as virtual reality and improved Internet speed and connectivity will make most face-to-face classes unnecessary and uneconomical.

We will be able to make just about any physical object invisible. Artificial organs will be widely available and affordable for many, though perhaps not for all. Genetic therapy will enable us to slow down the aging process by at least 50%.

Amputated and otherwise severed limbs will be regrown. We are going to expand beyond our terrestrial boundries. I see the year 2050 to be the beginning of affordable space tourism. Perhaps in 100 years we may even see civilians permanently living in space, whether it's for the thrill of having a view of the world below everyday or just a way of escaping the problems.

Life in 2050

Life in 2050 It's funny and something interesting to think how will be the life and the world in 2050. What do I think? I believe that in 2050 the life will be very different. I think many things will change and the life will be better. For example, the transportation will be totally different and the pollution by cars and motorcycles will decrease. Cars and motorcycles will not need gasoline. They will be electric. The means of transportation such as airplanes, subways and cars will have spectacular designs. In addition, there will be new means of transportation as skateboards or bikes that will be able to fly. The streets will be full of flying vehicles. Cities will be extended and will be huge. Cities will be formed by large buildings and modern highways. I think technology will greatly influence and this world will change completely. In many homes the housework will be done by robots, not only at home, too many jobs that we currently do, in the future they will be done by robots and machines. I think many things will change in homes and companies. The keys will disappear and the entry will be to many places with passwords, fingerprint detection or voice commands. The windows and doors will opened and closed by pressing a button or automatically. Some appliances will work with voice commands. People will be communicated only through advanced movil phones. The internet will be everywhere. The internet will be accessible for all. Education will be very advanced and complete, there will be no books, no pens, everything will be digital and systematized, even, people will not need to go to college or universities every day. They may receive their classes virtually and they will learn through advanced computers or robots. I think medicine will advanced very much. We will have medicines for every kind of diseases. Cancer and AIDS will have the cure. They will create medical equipment that will be able to detect diseases and health problems. There will products that help us to stay healthy. People will look physically as they wish. People will be able to have their hair as they want. They will have the desired weight. They will have their face as they wish and things like that. I think the clothes will not change a lot, at least in its composition. The clothes are going to change in the designs. I imagine people wearing different technological accessories on their bodies. They will use chips, electronic glasses, bracelets with different functions. In conclusion I think the world will be better in 2050. We will be able to transport ourselves easier and quicker. The man will not wear away so much in the work. There will be better communication and the technology will make us a more comfortable life. Alban Chavarría

How I imagine life in 2050

Technology will be better than today. We will probably use computers all the time at school, for homework, for bay, etc. Children are not going to go to school. They are going to to learn at home, TVs and robots will teach lessons. We'll be able to have friends all over the world and there might be flying cars.

I'm sure technology will improve and scientist will be find opportunities to cure diseases. We'll wear clothes specially designed for medical purposes keeping us into a therapy all day long. We'll eliminate cancer, heart diseases and AIDS.

Maybe people will be lazier because robots will do our work. We'll be able to have an easier and faster life. In 2050, we will travel to other planets instead of foreign countries.

People will build more modern hoses and different buildings. Many parts of the forest will die because there will be less land. There will  be lots of robots that will do the work for people, so everyone will get fatter.

The Earth might be destroyed because of pollution and we will live on another planet. Water get scarce and countries might start to fight for it. Another problem will be the global warming. Lots of glaciers will disappear, so the sea level will rise and this will cause more natural disasters than we have today.

There will be no black people, white people or Asian people. All the ethnic differences will disappear. Similary, we will learn about churches, synagogues and mosques only from story books. All the religions will be eliminated.

Our clothes are going to be different. You are not going to buy them. If you want to wear something, you will just close your eyes and think about it. When you open your eyes, you will wear the dress that you thought about.

Year 2050: Will it be an amazing year?

By Yuly Madrid Ortega

Course 8

Nowadays, we have a modern world with fantastic technological advances. We live in comfortable e-houses with access to Internet, cell phones and computers, and all types of communication devices.

How is the world that we know today going to be in the year 2050? To answer this question, it is necessary to think about some aspects like communication, healthy habits, and transportation.

Communication and technology

It will be a wonderful part of life. We are going to have faster cell phones with apps to control every electronic machine at home. Every year, communication is going to be faster and impersonal. Everybody is going to be alone, with little time for real relationships. People are going to have “bubble worlds”: you and your virtual space. Technology is going to be “The Queen”.

Healthy habits: Food, exercise and pollution

Food is going to be more artificial and light than it is now. The Modern world is going to require another type of diet.

Our present environment and lifestyles let us see how we’re going to live in 2050 and beyond. Nowadays we do little effort to communicate and even to run our daily errands. If we keep living at this pace, we’ll be fat people paying our bills and going to work from our homes. The Queen we’ll control us in the form of laptops and cell phones (not so different from these days –scary!–).

Global warming will make agriculture and everyday life tougher. We might go through food shortages due to the increase in UV rays. We’ll hide from the sun and eventually our lives will happen indoors. This combination of selected food and lack of sun, combined with little exercise will contribute to changes in our appearance.

We might act now, making small changes to prevent this possible future, but here’s the truth: humanity will never learn.

How the world is going to be in 2050? By: Laura Rivera Salazar

    

As everybody knows, the future is uncertain but we can make an idea about how  the world is going to be in 36 years.

I think that everything is going to be automatic. If you need something just a click will be enough to get whatever you want. Thanks to the advanced comunication, everybody will be able to work and study from their homes. All the cars will be electric, reducing the pollution (noise, gas) being friendly to the nature; unfortunately not always people are going to have ecological ideals that make that all those good ideas will come true.

I guess that the most of people will have overweigt, except the rich peolpe, they will have the opportunity to undergo cosmetic surgery and once more like nowadays the gap between rich pople and poor people is going to be bigger and bigger.

In the workplace peolpe will progress studying undergraduate, master’s, and doctoral looking to expand their knowledge. Poeple will want learn new languages to connect in a fast way with other peolple in other countries. The new technologies will help people to communicate in a easier way, like video chats and holograms calls.

In the health area the advanced technologies will help to the different researches about the cure of different terminally ill and to facilitate and innovate various process existing now.

In the social area maybe the things will be worse. If we don’t change our ideals, the  rulers will be doing the same: looking for themself interests. There will be wars between countries for natural resources, under discussion about who have the power over those resources.

To finish, maybe the world in 2050 is going to be apocalyptic, devastation everywhere, people dying, drouhts, water scarcity, but we can’t lose the hope that for some kind of a posible miracle maybe the human being will make a better place to live.
