Between now and then many changes will take place in this century. But what will the changes be? The
population is growing fast. There will be many people in the world and most of them will live longer than
people live now.
Computers will be much smaller and more useful, and there will be at least one in every home. And
computer studies will be one of the important subjects in school then.
People will work fewer hours than they do now, and they will have more free time for sports, watching
TV and travel. Traveling will be much cheaper and easier. And many more people will go to other countries
for holidays.
There will be changes in our food, too. More land will be used for building new towns and houses for
all the people. Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive. Maybe
no one will eat it every day. Instead they will eat more fruit and vegetables. Maybe people will be healthier.
Work in the future will be different, too. Dangerous and hard work will be done by robots. Because of this,
many people will not have enough work to do. This will be a problem.
