Twenty Years From Now....

Twenty years ago was 1997, before most lifetimes at Henderson began: a time of clunky cell phones, old music, slow video games (like slither). That was the year Big Blue (IBM’s super computer) defeated world chess champion Garry Kasparov for the first time. So, to look forward 20 years,

​"What might the world be like in 2037?"
​
This is the question John asked in journalism today.

Gavin: I feel like technology (in twenty years) will be even more advanced making people even more lazy. There will probably be things like motorized shoes so you don’t have to walk everywhere. Everything will be automated which will decrease the number of jobs for people, more fuel efficient cars that might be self driving. The population of the world is increasing which will most likely mean that there will be more people without homes. We might have pollution laws like California. It will be more common for people to use companies like Amazon to have groceries delivered to their houses.

Abby: I feel the world will be a lot different judging by how fast technology is growing. A lot of jobs will be gone. We will have more homeless people due to lack of jobs. The depression and suicide rates will go up. I don’t necessarily think “Robots” will be running the world, but possibly machines. Not the ones that talk. Phones & computers will progressively get smarter and smarter. Tons of animal and plant species will go extinct. The human race will either be super healthy or super unhealthy. The fashion will be a lot different too. There will be a ton more diseases. A cure for cancer will probably still be under “research”. Food will probably be a lot more different as well. Education will get either smarter & smarter, or dumber & dumber. We may not even have presidents anymore. Our economy will be super poor. Millions of businesses will shut down. Our world as we know it will be so different.

Ryan: I think 20 years from now are world will be very different, I think that the way people dress, walk, and talk will be almost completely different. I also believe that at that time our country will have found new more efficient ways of running itself, possibly people will be more healthy and fast food franchises will slowly start going out of business. Another thing, the type of cars and motorcycles will probably have changed around that time and will look a lot more advanced and sleek. All in all I think that our country and world will have changed for the better within 20 years.

Coby: What I think the world is going to look like in 20 years is. I think that there is going to be new phones out and games, better food and medical. In all reality I feel like that stuff is just going to get better per year.

Alex: In 20 years the world will still have schools, America will probably be part of China, and China will rule the world. Hovercraft will be more available than they are now, space travel will be commercial, and people will have internet chips in their heads if they want. (this will allow them to connect to the internet by thinking it.) I also believe that at that time our country will have found new more efficient ways of running itself, possibly people will be more healthy and fast food franchises will slowly start going out of business. Another thing, the type of cars and motorcycles will probably have changed around that time and will look a lot more advanced and sleek. All in all I think that our country and world will have changed for the better within 20 years.

Taylor: Medical Science will continue to advance. Technology and entertainment will continue to evolve.

So here you have journalism staff thoughts.
