In the nearest future I hope that the environment consciousness grows even more and that almost everything can be recycled. I hope people at home could be able to recycle and reuse most of the garbage they produce and that children from an early age receive environmental education in schools. Hopefully the government would develop and reinforce environmental friendly politics and laws and, regulate companies so they create products that supports for example, recycling. This is already happening in countries like Sweden but I hope it will be also presented more and more in developing countries.
Regarding the daily life things that I think will change in the next decades, one of them should be the upgrowth of remote jobs. More and more, flexible and remote jobs are appearing. The IT jobs were the first to start with this modality but now you can find remote jobs for writers, sellers, designers and even executive assistants. Nowadays, with the advance of technology, you can have a session with your therapist just from your living room or even do your groceries from your computer. So, my prediction for the following decades is that people will be able to do most of the daily life from home, the only need will be a computer or smartphone and internet connection.
I am though concern about this technological advances since I think that people work will be replaced by computers and machines and maybe unemployment will grow due to this. People should be more aware of this and start creating new kind of jobs in order to adapt to the new world that is coming.
Hi Maria,
ResponderEliminarI agree with you, it is important that we think more of the environment. However I certainly hope that your reflection regarding people staying home and doing everything from a computer is incorrect. In my opinion you would lose all social interaction with people and I think that people would be more depressed. But this is if we took it to the most extreme. However if it would mean that people worked from home a few days a month/week I think it is a great idea. It would benefit mot the person and the company as when being home they could work without any interruption, and when at work you have better teamwork and interaction were you can share your ideas and get ideas.
Great post!
