Man of the future
I can't say for sure what a person will be like in the future, but I can guess what he might be like. I assume that in the future it will be quite common for people to travel into space and to other planets. For them, it will be, for example, as easy as driving a car.
Space technology is developing rapidly. On April 12, 1961, the USSR pilot-cosmonaut Yuri Alekseevich Gagarin made the world's first manned flight into outer space on the Vostok spacecraft. And that was 63 years ago, so we can safely assume that in many years people will be able to get acquainted with representatives of foreign civilizations.
Perhaps there will be a vaccine for HIV, which has been worked on for almost 40 years, as well as for other serious diseases that shorten people's lives.
Now everyone has access to the Internet, almost everyone has a gadget. You can find anything on the Internet, you can even track another person using the Internet and a phone, you couldn’t even dream of this before. Even in villages far from civilization and communication, now you can have the Internet. Previously, even a camera on a phone was something incredible, but now it performs many functions - a camera, a music player, games, information search, social networks and much more. And every time new models are created, everything improves.
Technological development is proceeding at a rapid pace, and those innovations that for several years seemed to be the height of technological development, today already seem obsolete. The 20th century was the century of technological breakthrough. It was during this period that many discoveries were made. But still, as the development of technology goes forward and in place of technologies that were once considered advanced, new, even more advanced ones come. For example, such innovations as: 1. Modern video games are made in such a way that it seems to the player that he really gets into the world of the game. For example, now there are almost no fans of old games who are ready to play Super Mario. 2. Electronic calculator. 3. Floppy disks. 4. Audio cassettes. 5. CD players 6. GPS navigators. 7. VHS tapes. 8. Laser discs. 9. Rotary telephones. 10. Pagers.
Previously, in order to watch, listen to something, they bought discs, cassettes, players, but now it has become unpopular, since now all this can be done using a phone, the Internet, a laptop, a computer and much more. Now these innovations are considered obsolete.
An interesting example from Ray Bradbury's Fahrenheit 451 predicted in-ear headphones. This book was written in 1953. It is about a technologically advanced society where books are outlawed and any book found must be burned. The anti-utopia describes flat-panel TVs, as well as portable radios, similar in meaning to in-ear headphones and Bluetooth headsets. Judging by this work, even then they could predict the technologies of the future.
In the present, a person is dependent on the Internet. It is difficult to imagine life without daily entry of a person into social networks, access to the Internet. In the present, a person is cruel, he pollutes the environment, people kill animals for mink coats, make shoes from natural leather, test cosmetics on animals. At the moment there is a war, not dying
wine people who don't want war, people are afraid.
What will be the future? Hard to tell.
For people in the future, life will be simplified, new technologies will continue to be invented, physical labor will be relegated to the background. The number of people who will monitor the appearance will increase. A person of the future will have the main goal of achieving success, the family will move into the background. The man of the future will seek greater comfort.
In the future, space will no doubt be explored and it is quite possible that people will live on other planets. Cities will keep growing and growing, gradually replacing villages and villages. People will begin to draw not beautiful landscapes of nature, villages, but various rockets, city streets full of people, a populated moon - the people of the future will have a completely different culture and art.
Poets will start writing more about achievements. There will be more movement, less and less calmness. There will be other values, for them it will not be something surprising and unusual, as, for example, for us, if we got into the future, but this is how a person works: to recognize, discover, conquer. Many, I think, are waiting for robots to start cleaning the house, even now many have a dishwasher, a robot vacuum cleaner, and much more that makes life easier for a person, people most likely dream of a flying car, they are waiting for computers to do more work that today a person performs, but the person himself will not develop from this, books are now read on the Internet, few people read the paper version, and there are many who read the summary.
I hope that in the future people will solve many problems that have not been solved at the moment, such as discrimination, unemployment, people living without a home, it will certainly be difficult to solve environmental problems
