Essay

Future Life

Technologically, the 20 year jump from 2019 to 2039 will

be huge. During that time some elements of our world will change
beyond recognition while others will stay reassuringly (or
disappointingly) familiar. Consider the 20 years to 2019. Back in
1999 we were in the early days of the internet, we worked in
cubicles and our computers were too big. Nowadays we can use
only a laptop to work. Maybe in the future we are going to need
only a small device. In summary in the next paragraphs I am
going to give my point of view about changes that will happen in
the next twenty years.
First, let’s talk about transportation, we realized that in this
decade the transportation had been evolved only a little, also we
know that potential countries such as Japan, China and Russia
have been working for many years in some technological flying
cars prototypes maybe in the next decade they will sale it to the
market. And if it happens maybe in 2039, we are going to be able
to buy these cars.
Now, let’s talk about the education. At least the in Perú the
education is poor, and this happen for different factors, in these
factors we can mention to: our politicians, the reluctances of most
of the population and others. But what will happen in the next
twenty years with it?
We need to realize that our society is not going to improve if we
don’t aware of what is happening with the education in our
country. More than a prediction is a desire, I hope that in the next
twenty years let us learn to choose our politicians and that let us
educate to the children how important is to be a knowledge
people.

In conclusion everybody is going to grow in the next twenty years

include the different problems that our society will have. But if
we talk only about technology, this will improve to help us as it
had been doing since decades ago.
