Hi there! Can you help me? I’m doing a project
at school. The title? ‘Will life be better in 2100?’
What do you think? Thanks for your ideas, gang!

Hi Josh! I think life will be great. People will live in ‘smart houses’.
A central computer will control the temperature, the lights,
everything! These houses will be ecological and use solar energy
and recycled water. A ‘smart’ mirror in the bathroom (that’s right,
it’s a mirror with a computer!) will check your health. And guess
what? Robots will cook and do the housework.

Pollution is a big problem today, but will be a bigger problem in
100 years. So people won’t use cars with petrol. They will drive
in electric cars on underground roads. And there will be electric
buses with computers for drivers! The best thing? People will be
able to travel in time. Now that will be exciting!

Hi Josh. Life will be better in 2100 – in space! People will live
on the Moon and Mars in special cities. They will grow food
and send it to the Earth in a huge space craft. Space stations
will orbit the Earth and control the climate. There will also be
holidays in space! How cool is that?

Will life be different in 100 years? Yes, it will. Will life be better?
No, it won’t! Climate change will cause floods and droughts. Rich
people will live for a long time, maybe 200 years! But life won’t
be easy for most people. They won’t have food and water.

Well, Josh, the good news is ... there won’t be any schools!
Students will have lessons at home on their computers. They’ll
be in contact with other students all over the world in a ‘virtual’
classroom. The bad news is ... teachers will still give us homework
in
the future!
