Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of activity, from entertainment to technology.First of all, it seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050.Instead, people will choose a program from a “menu” and a computer will send the program directly to the television.By 2050，music, films, programs, newspapers and books will come to us by computer. In what concerns the environment, water will have become one of our most serious problems.Demand for water will increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious shortages.Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act now.In transport, cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast.Cars will have computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents.Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. In the domain of technology, robots will have replaced people in factories.Many factories already use robots.Big companies prefer robots—they do not ask for pay rises or go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day.By 2050, we will see robots everywhere—in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes. Last but not least, medicine technology will have conquered many diseases.Today scientists have discovered how to control genes.They have already produced clones of animals.By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have.Scientists will be able to do these things—but should they?
