What will life look like in twenty years?
Discuss society in general or an imaginary community. You do not need to discuss your own circumstances. Different predictions are welcome.
The best possible future
- What work will technology do, and what will people be doing?
- How will people spend their time and learn new things?
- By then, what will society have done to give everyone a good quality of life?
The worst possible future
- Who will benefit from new technology, and who will lose out?
- What difficulties will people be facing in work and education?
- By then, what opportunities will people have lost?
The most likely future
- Which jobs will have changed most?
- What will people still be doing for themselves?
- Will people have more free time? Why—or why not?
