Growing Trends (Part I)

What will our world be like in the next century? Scientists today are analysing statistics that show how the world has changed in previous years and using them to try to predict the future. They want to know what sort of jobs we will be doing, what technology we will be using in our daily lives, what kind of homes we will be living in and what our world will look like in the 21^st century.

We have sketched in outline some of the growing trends and the scientists’ predictions below.

The environment in the 21^st century we will almost certainly be living in a warmer world. The world will continue to use fossil fuels which release carbon dioxide, the main cause of global warming.

Damage done to the ozone layer by man-made chemicals will mean that our children will have an increased risk of developing skin cancer.

We will be living in a world with less energy available and we will be forced to reduce our energy consumption.

Technology in the 21^st century most families will be using computers in the home to do a wide variety of tasks. The vast bulk of the technology we will be using a generation from now already exists in some form. Over 3 million British households have personal computers today and a further 650,000 are expected to acquire them in the next year. In 25 years’ time computers will be a million times faster than they are today and will work in a way that resembles the human brain. They will have become easier to use, but anyone who has not learnt how to use the new technology will be seriously disadvantaged, particularly in the field of employment.
