Future in 20 years by Santi

How will technology change our lives in the next 20 years?

By Santiago GutiƩrrez

Introduction: In this presentation I´ll give my opinion of “how will technology change our lives in the next 20 years”.

We don´t really know what will happen in the next 20 years, but I think that the world will change a lot. In my opinion there will be new discoveries, but I think that a bad side of the technology is coming closer. I mean that with all this new products like the Ipod, our lives are changing. I think that we can not depend if one person will call us or if we have the last music on our Ipods.

In my opinion life before was better in this aspect of life. I´m not in opposition with the technology, but i´m in oppisition with how this new products are changing our lives.

Aspects of life: How will technology change our lives in the next 20 years?

I think that in the next 20 years technology will change our lives in different aspects of our lives. For example, I think that physic-sedentary will increase. With all this new products like the Play Sation 3, the Wii console or the Xbox, people are exposed to addictions. In several times the children prefer to play one of this consoles instead of doing outdoor activities. In other aspects of our lives, technology will be an illness. All the people want more and more technology and this ocasionate dependeces to, for example, the cell phones.

How will transport change in the next 20 years?


My ideas about this topic are a little bit “crazy”. I think that in the next 15 years will exist flying cars. Why not? If many scientists could creat a particle acelerator to confirm the theory of the creation of the World, they would be able to create flying cars.

In my opinion all this inventions are changing the world. If we compare life 60 years ago with life today, we can say that all has changed and is continue changing. In the next 20 years will be transports (so much planes and helicopters like cars and motorcycles) in all sides of the world and this situation will ocasionate chaos.

I think that technology will be the end of the world.

Conclusion:

With this work I can see how technology influences in our lives. In many cases technology helps to discover the world but not always. Finally I want to say again that technology will be the end of the world.

How will life change in the next 20 years ??

Okey,
I want to say the same thing that I have read in the other posts. We really can´t find a perfect answer to this question because we really don´t know what would it happen in 20 years.
In my personal opinion I think that the world will change a lot in this short period of time. Some things will become better and other worse. For instance people is depending everytime more and more in technology. Some of them can´t even live without them. They think they have to be always in contact with technology. If know is people depending on all this mobile phones, notebooks, Ipods, etc, what would it happen in 20 years? Maybe people will have their mobile phone incorporated in their brain or something like that. I really don´t want to thing much about that. I rather prefer to enjoy the present instead of been always thinking on what would it happen to the world in the future.
But we also have to talk about the good things. Maybe there will be new medicines and operations, common things that could help the people in the normal life.
It will be very interesting because in 20 years we will see if we were right with our predictions or completely wrong. We are the only responsable of the Earth. So if we don´t take care of it we will have a lot of problems.

How can our life change in the next 20 years?

Well, when we talk about how will technology change our lives in the next 20 years, we can´t make an exactly answer.

Nowadays the technology isn´t be able to know all about the future, and scientists haven´t a good ideea about how can change our life in the next 20 years. But with the time the technology will know more and more about our future.

About the health, today it is better than 10 years ago, the doctors and scientists had found a lot of cures for difficult illneses. It can change a lot because each year we found new threatments and drugs. But the problem is that we are having new illneses and is difficult to find a good cure for each illnes. So if we want to save the ill people we have to look for new cures using the technology. However natural cures are better than technology cures.

About the transport in 20 years, it can change a lot, because each year we find new cars for example. And today in european countries exist better transports than in Argentina. There you can find high-speed trains or really big plains. In my opinion the transport in the next 20 years will change our life, because we will have no problems to go to a far place, it will be easier to travel. But probably all these new transports will contaminate the environment and it will damage the population.

The most important topic that will change in the next 20 years is of course the technology. Each day we have a new type of mobile phones, or Ipods or mp4. So if we could made this technological objects, we will find a lot of new technology. The problem of the technology is that with the time the people is adict at mobile phones or for example TV, computer, Ifon and others. It isn´t good, that people miss the technology all day and they can´t do anithing with out it.

Long before people live with out technology, they live very good and it was normal live with out it. But today people depend on the technology.

And I don´t know how can this problem, that we are all included, finish. And this is the fear of not much people, well few people.

How will climate change in the next 20 years?

I think that this is a topic that we don’t know what it would happen because is something that it is really relative. But with the things that happen nowadays, there are some things that you could predict.

We know and we see that in these days natural disasters are more common than in other years.

I read an article that talk about this, and I think that there are some things that are really true.

In the article says that climate will change over the next 20 years could result in a global catastrophe costing millions of lives in wars and natural disasters. The document says that the huge change that will be with the climate will let the world adrift. The reason off this idea is that humans don’t know how to care our natural resources and this make that the earths have different landscapes and different spaces. The water on earth is a good example. There are some places where there is more than enough water but if humans don’t have special care it will be not sufficient not even for the basic needs.

But the problem of this is that these problems will modify our lives and the lives of all the live beings. It sounds selfish but it’s true, we are persons than needs water to live and more things to have a healthy life. Not to talk only about water I will talk about green spaces. Every day cities are bigger and bigger and the only green that you have it’s a tree with two branches and there are with out life and really ugly. We have to know that the more green spaces that we have the more oxygen we have. And this brings not only consequences in our health it will make us be more nervous because when we go to green spaces where the only thing that you hear are little beards you can relax and be quiet. But the only option that we have is to start changing ourselves. Be have to think that in the next 20 years will be here to see how it would earth be. So in conclusion we need to be more conscious of what we do.

Aye :D

New Zealand


New Zealand is a country in Oceania is located in the southwest Pacific Ocean comprising two large islands, North Island and South Island, along with other smaller islands. The name is "land of the sea”.
The North Island is the most populated because the people make comercial activities, while the South Island is more rich in . The capital is
Wellington.
The
climate in New Zealand is basically temperate fresh warm temperate.
Because of their isolation from the rest of the world, New Zealand has an extraordinary endemic flora and fauna.
Previously, the dominant vegetation was mixed forest of
evergreen, with thick undergrowth towns of mosses and large ferns primitive However, the dense forest survives only in national parks and nature reserves.
The fauna is even more surprising that the flora, until approximately the late
eighteenth century lived in New Zealand territory some of the largest known bird, the moa giant, In the thick forests still remain curious kiwi, kea (parrot), Kakapo (bird). The only native mammals are two species of bats. There existed the biggest highlights cricket in the world (almost the size of a mouse). The Tuatara is a reptil and is the only animal that has a "third eye".
Ok thats all!
I wrote about New Zealand because I want to go there, so I hope you liked it.

Avril Lavigne was born in Belleville, Ontario on September 27, 1984,the daughter of Judy and John Lavigne.She has an elder brother, Matthew, and a younger sister, Michelle.[25] Lavigne's mother was the first to spot young Lavigne’s talent. At the age of two, Lavigne began singing along with her mother on church songs. The family moved to Napanee, Ontario, when Lavigne was five years old.

At the age of sixteen she was signed by Ken Krongard, the artists-and-repertoire (A&R) representative of Arista Records, who invited the head of Arista, Antonio "L.A." Reid, to hear her sing at the New York City studio of producer Peter Zizzo.
She then completed work on her first album, Let Go. The Matrix, who worked extensively with Lavigne on the album, commented on her songwriting, saying, "We had a fabulous and unique experience with Avril, who was then a 16-year-old rapidly growing songwriter with tremendous raw talent.
Let Go was released on June 4, 2002 in the United States, it has reached number two there and number one in Australia, Canada, and the United Kingdom. This made Lavigne, at seventeen, the youngest female soloist to have a number-one album in the UK up until that time.
Lavigne was named "Best New Artist" at the 2002 MTV Video Music Awards, won four Juno Awards in 2003 (out of six nominations), received a World Music Award for "World's Best-Selling Canadian Singer", and was nominated for eight Grammy Awards, including "Song of the Year" for "Complicated" and "Best New Artist".

She received five Juno Award nominations in 2005, picking up three, including "Fan Choice Award", "Artist of the Year", and "Pop Album of the Year". She won the award for "Favorite Female Singer" at the eighteenth Annual Nickelodeon Kids' Choice Awards.
