2050
The survey of 1,000 people from different countries revealed both hopes and fears about what life will be like in 2050. Friendships will change dramatically as most people will meet their future spouses online. Computers will be essential but may also lead to more social isolation. Education will shift to using computers for most tasks like calculations and even writing by hand may disappear. Robots are expected to do household chores and ready-made food will be common. Travel styles may change with electric vehicles replacing gas-powered cars in cities. Genetic engineering raises hopes for curing diseases but some worry about environmental impacts like needing to pay for clean air. Overall, both optimism and concerns were expressed about the future.
