Mrs. Danny is an office woman. Due to the heavy work and “mountains” of plans need to be decided, she seldom has holiday or even weekend. If this situation happened in past 50 years, Mrs. Danny can do nothing, no shopping; no news from other countries, but keeping on working thousands of typing pages. However, this kind of circumstance has changed a lot in the information age. Just take a look at the internet shopping websites, you just need 5 minutes to choose the latest fashion you like and don’t need to anywhere.
It’s no doubt that the effect of the internet has been remarkable. Without the internet, we wouldn’t have today’s modern lifestyle. More and more people read e-newspaper than the normal one. And internet has made these online shopping and reading possible. The internet has also been crucial in the communication between two people lived in different countries. It was hard to be imaged in the past 40-50years that two people from different countries can talk with each other so quickly and freely.
In 10 years, I think lots of the electrical equipment can link into internet in a fast and easy way. Already there are some equipment such as cell phone and PS can link into the internet and you can play with others on the internet by PS. With the development in this technique, I guess that our televisions can easily link into internet in 10 years. You could type the website by the TV controller and search information on it. Furthermore, our refrigerators could also link into internet and do some upgrades.
In 50 years, when I am 70 years old (if I can), I am sure that this world would have been changed a lot. Our life should be more and more convenient and there’s a good chance that a robot could do all the housework. You just need to “tell” it what should it do now, and then the robot could do all the things independently and perfectly. As a result, people would be lazier and lazier and lots of social companies also run by lots of working robots and social security would be terrible because of the huge number of unemployees.
Another big problem could be the human’s clone. With the development in medical science, human’s clone would be possible after 50 years. It must be a big debate on this problem in the whole world if the human’s clone were legal or not.
As was mentioned above, although our life seems to be more convenient as we coming into information age, we are facing lots of problem and the negative side of development. Do you feel that human ourselves are becoming weaker and weaker as the science are being improved. We might not be the unique one in the world as the technique of clone improved. In all likelihood robots will be possible to be more efficient in lots kinds of work. It would become a good challenge for us in the future.
