2062
Nowadays almost everyone
understands that people spend too many resources. We need electricity, gas,
oil, wood and water, but there are more and more green thinking people every
day. Our generation talks more and more about consumerism so I am sure that
there has to be a breaking point, when everything will change, and this moment
is not in distant future.
I think our children will live
in a different way. Future will not be full of technologies and robots will not
rule the world. There are a lot of better perspectives and one of them it
turning back to nature. And if I could choose the destiny of our world, I would
like to see it completely natural. In about fifteen years there will be too
many nature disasters and pollution level will increase. People will understand
that they must change everything on our planet or we will have no place to
live, because the Mars and the Moon are still inappropriate for living.
In 2062 people will be a bit
like hippies. They will not dress like hippies or listen to the same music,
though it will be popular too. But the main way of thinking will be that the
Earth is not just a big ball with hot liquid filling but a living organism.
People will realize that they need to help it because exactly people are
illness of our planet. People will be very careful with unnatural things. For
example they will stop using oil and gas in 2028 and the biggest part of our
children will not be able even to imagine that they could use non-renewable
resources of energy, because they know that Mother Earth hurts and we must not
do wrong to her.
Technologies will develop
just to lessen consumption of energy. There will be more powerful computers and
fast personal helicopters too, but only very rich people will be able to buy
them, because they will have to pay very high taxes for them. And the society
will not even respect those people. The main goal will be to save environment
with any tools and methods.
In fifty years a lot of
people will be happier too. Almost everyone will have some animals at home, but
they will not be like out pet dogs or cats, but they will be injured wild
animals. People will take them home and care for them till they are healthy
again. It will be very popular, especially in families with children, so
children will learn to care about animals from their early days. And it will
help to increase their love to people. Animals will be a good way for everyone
to learn new things about the world and everyone living in it. It will make
mankind more human.
Families will be closer too.
Every day there will be a family dinner, when everyone will sit at one table
and eat together and talk about different events in their life. It was
tradition years ago and in the future it will be important, too. People will
play table games in the evenings, read books and go travelling together. It
will be as natural as eating or breathing because the family will be very
valuable. It will not be because of Christianity or other religions because
they will not be as important as nowadays, but people will feel that exactly their
own family is the place to look for love, support and help. It will be a very
strong tradition, because the society will follow traditions very much.
Sometimes it will be
difficult too, because people in families are different and everyone is a
personality, but psychology will develop fast, so it will be one of things
which are important in the society, because people will have to care about
members of their family and they will not be able to do that without some help.
So psychologists will be specialists who help to make difficult things and
situations easier.
On the streets there will
not be flying machines or other futuristic transport. One scientist will invent
a flying car, but it would be too bad for environment to use it, so this
invention will be soon forgotten. There will be a plenty of bicycles on the
streets. Children will learn to ride a bike at the same time when they learn to
walk, because people will go on bikes everywhere - to their workplaces,
schools, shops, cultural events. Some of them will have hydrogen cars too, but
they will not use them very often. It will not be necessary. There will be a
public transport too and it will be cheap and well developed, so people will
use it to travel between cities or countries. The planes will be expensive
because scientists will not be able to make them nature friendly.
Education and culture will
be pretty important, too. At school students will use small and not very
powerful computers, because they will be meant to be ecological, not highly developed.
Education will be different than now - children will learn in groups divided by
their abilities, not by age like it is now, and helping each other in learning
will be very important. The main goals of education will be to learn how to be
nature-friendly, to learn how to search for and use information in a different
ways and to learn traditions and culture.
Cultural events will be very
important in society - children will go to the theatre, concerts, cinema and
museums from the very young age. They will read books too, but these books will
be on the internet, because paper books take too many resources to make them.
So people will be educated and a big part of them will go to the universities
too, but the education will be different from nowadays.
Maybe our generation has a
different view on the future of the world, but I would like to see our planet
in the fifty years that way, because I think that environmental problems are
huge today and in the future people will have to change something to keep our
planet a good place for living, because we can’t move to the Moon or somewhere
else. The Earth is our home and we have to care about our home and keep it
clean, because we want our children to live here, too.

TIME TRAVELLING
In the past of our
civilization and in the history of mankind there are many mistakes we would
like to correct, but cannot. Most people
would like to know who they will be in the future, but someone would like to
change something that happened in the past. Nowadays we don’t have any devices
to travel in time, so we can only dream about time travelling. However, if we
could travel in time, what would we do?
Let’s try to imagine that we
travel in time as far as year 2062.
Now we are here, in the
future, and what do we see? Do all people live in peace and there are no wars?
I hope!
Technology is becoming
better and more powerful, but what about the society? People grow old and become
very lazy, because there is nothing to do - every little thing is being done by
the robots.
People forget about their
life in the past, they lose the link to their traditions and culture. People
look like machines which only care about how to survive and nothing else. They
forget about friendship and love, honour and their parents’ dreams. They don’t
think about how to save Earth, how to protect it from destruction.
The natural resources of the
planet are going to end and soon human civilization will die...
It’s very hard to see these pictures and later
we understand that it would be much better not know what is waiting for us in
the future.
If we don’t do anything to change
ourselves and our attitude to life now, nothing will be changed in the future.
We need to protect our world
form laziness, lies and wars; we need to construct strong policy and to deliver
it to the next generations.
In my opinion, it’s the only
way to see ourselves happy in the golden future of 2062.

ESSAY "TIME TRAVELLING”
I think that almost all people have thought about the future, how it will
look like, how we will live, about technology development. This topic is very
exciting and full of different viewpoints. Everyone has their own, different opinion
about future.
In year 2062 I will be a 67-year-old lady. I will be a lady, who has a
lot of experience. I will live in Latvia, but until that time I will have the
experience of living in different countries, for example, Finland, Canada and
Germany. I will live in different countries, because my future profession is a pharmacist,
and to be good at this profession I need to improve my knowledge, and live in different
countries and studies in different universities will help me. Also with the
help of travelling I will learn languages, because I think in future mastering
languages will be very useful. I will also improve my English, because English
is the most popular language of international communication.
I think that the society will be more loyal than nowadays. I hope that
in 2062 will be neither wars, no any disagreement between nationalities and
countries, xenophobia and prejudices. I think that people will be more
interested in politics in future, and the politicians will be more faithful
than now, also I think that politicians will be elder people than they are now.
The main task will be to make people more friendly and helpful, with the aid of
friendliness prejudices and stereotypes will disappear, people will be more
loyal to those with different skin colour, frictions between Muslim and Christian
world will also disappear.
I think that the society will think more about environment, how to lessen
pollution, and produce less waste. People will use environmentally friendly
energy sources, for example, solar panels, wind generators and other. People
will also be more technologically minded, because technologies will progress,
many things will be impossible without technology, life will become easier, and
people will become a little bit lazier, but it is not bad in my opinion.
This topic is very entertaining and inexhaustible, and every time when we think about this topic we
will find new ideas and thoughts about it. I liked to think about future, and I
think that in 2062 I will remember this essay and compare my thoughts with the
reality of 2062.

TIME TRAVELLING
It’s been a long
time since I have realized that living is very interesting. It’s truly amazing,
that we can live and don’t know what to expect in future. New day is starting
and you can only imagine how many surprises it will bring you.
The most incredible
thing, I think, is looking back into the past and seeing that you have changed,
your character has been changed in some way. I have wondered about that a lot
of times, but I have never thought about myself in future. What to expect? How
my world, my character will change in 10, 20 or even 40 years from now?
Only 50 – 60
years ago, people thought that in year 2000 there will be flying cars, a lot of
robots and everything will bet electronic and mobile. But they were wrong. So
my opinion about how the reality will look in year 2062 isn’t that hopeful.
I think that
there will not be very modernized living. Just as it is now. Changed will be
only people. There will no prejudices and xenophobia in the society. Everyone
will appreciate everyone’s look, religion or family status. People will value a person’s character, experience
and honesty much than they do now. Their lives in will be full of different
experiences, travels and feelings, and so will be mine. In some way I will be
like every old person – slow, peaceful and wise.
Maybe then if
the prices will still be rising, politicians will be telling lies to their
electorates, I will tell my
grandchildren that when I was young prices were reasonable, politicians were
noble and children respected their elders...
But anyway in
2062, when I will be old, my life would not stop, it will continue and I will
enjoy it in all the ways I can.
