WHAT WILL THE WORLD BE LIKE IN 50 YEARS? 19
FUTURISTIC PREDICTIONS

Predicting the future is tricky business. It’s hard enough to

anticipate what you’ll be doing next week, let alone a year from
now. And while attempting to project decades into the future is
almost impossible, plenty of people attempt to do so, but they fail.
They’re called futurists, and it’s their job to predict what the world
will look like in hundreds of years from now and beyond.

What might the world look like in 50 years? Here’s
what some leading minds think.
1. The world population will be over 9 billion. Disease
is going to be more common, as everybody will be
physically closer to everyone else, and chronic food short
ages may be the norm.
2. We’ll also have to start cutting down on our energy
consumption: If humankind continues to use energy
at the rate it does now, and population growth follows
expected trends, we will need the equivalent of three
earths to support ourselves by 2050. This is, obviously,
impossible.
3. As far as global warming goes, the Dead Sea will
almost completely dry up, nearly half of the Amazon
rainforest is going to be deforested, wildfires will spread
like, umm, wildfire, and the polar ice caps will be only 60
percent the size they are now.
5. The majority of people will live in cities, which will be
increasingly more integrated with nature and plants. It’ll
be standard procedure for skyscrapers to have parks and
sky gardens, for example, and buildings will be covered
in vegetation designed to filter out pollutants and retain
CO2.
6. Wars will involve not only land and sea, but space. Moon
bases will play a crucial role in global conflicts; because
the moon is essentially a massive plot of undeveloped
land over which nobody has legal ownership. These bases
are going to serve both to defend against attacks from
other nations and to launch offensives.
7. Whites will be a minority in the United States. The U.S.
population will be around 47 percent White, 29 percent
Hispanic, 13 percent African-American, and six percent
Asian by 2050.

4. Also, rising temperatures mean that heat stress will

place a significant strain on human labor productivity.
 46 Yaneth Ocando Pereira

1. Predicting the future is really simple. ______.

2. Global warming will increase the temperatures. ______.

3. People should consume more energy. ______.

4. There won’t be many people on the earth. ______.

5. People will get sick more often. _____.

6. Wars will be only on the air, exclusively. ______.

7. There will be military bases on the moon. ______.

8. A few people will live in the cities. ______.

9. There won’t be any skyscrapers. ______.

10. White people won’t be a majority in the USA. ______.

VII. WRITING AND COMPOSITION. Write a composition,

describing your plans after you finish your career. Use verbs
followed by infinitive, and future with Will and Be Going to, as
in the example.

I’m majoring in Education. I’m going to finish my career in one year from now. After I graduate, I plan
to take a long vacation, first. I’m going to travel to Orlando to visit the parks. Then, I’ll probably buy
some electronic items that I need. I also want to go to Aruba and swim in the beautiful beaches there.
I’m going to come back home and I hope to find a good job. I’d like to work in a bilingual school. I am
going to get married after that, and I’ll have two children, a boy and a girl.

Your turn now.
