17. THE WORLD IN THE YEAR 2050
"What will your world be like in the year 2050?" - asked Bob.
"Te will be fantastic” — answered Jack. "Everybody will carry a
pocket computer. ‘This computer will give people the answers to
all their problems or their questions. Children won't have to go
to school. We'll all have telephones in our pockets, and we'll be
able to talk to our friends all over the world. We'll be able to see
them at the same time."
"Machines will do most of the work, and so people will have
much longer holidays. Perhaps they'll work only one or two days
a week" ~ said Linda,
"In the future every family will have a helicopter and nobody
will have to wait for hours in traffic-jams. Doctors will have
medicines for every illness and we won't need hospitals. T am
looking forward to this year" — said Jack.

very nice place. Therelll be factories everywhere and there'll be
no green fields. My children won't be able to play football or
other games, so they'll have to sit indoors all day. On the other
hand, our windows will have to be shut all day because the air
will be so dirty, Perhaps we won't be able to see the sun through
the dirty air.”
“I think he is right" — said Linda, "Only a few people will live in
houses with gardens. Most people will have to live in huge blocks
of flats. I don't think people will be happy in the year 2050."
