Example Of Essay On What Will The World Look Like In 50 Years

In 50 years technology will have advanced in a lot of areas, making the world look very different. Each one of these technologies will have effects on the laws and on the attitudes of the population. Although many things will be different, many things will stay the same. 50 years is not long enough for there to be changes on a massive scale, but it is long enough for significant changes.
In 50 years, when you look at other cars on the road, you will see the drivers texting, working, and watching streaming movies. This is because self-driving cars will have a big impact on the future, freeing drivers up to do as they please while the car takes them to their destinations. This brand new, still-in-testing technology will change a lot of things once it becomes a wide spread convince. In order to prevent accidents, the cars rely on software created by the car companies. So, drivers won’t be responsible for accidents, the software companies and car companies will have to pay for the accidents (or for auto insurance). Since there will be no such thing as drunk driving, police officers will no longer have to arrest people for drunk driving. There will be less legal consequences.
In 50 years there will also be less consequences for other crimes, such as possession of marijuana. Since many states are legalizing marijuana. Many more states will legalize it in the future. Perhaps, in 50 years, it will be legal in all of the states. So, just like with drunk driving, no one will be arrested. The jails won’t be as full either.
People’s aptitudes will probably change toward alternative lifestyles. Gay marriage is becoming accepted in states across the country, so in 50 years it will probably be accepted all over the country, maybe even all over the world. The legalization of gay marriage will make people be more accepting of alternative lifestyles in general. Even religious groups will allow gay people to join their congregations. Part of this will be because of the current influence of Pope Francis, who believes in keeping an open and loving mind toward homosexuals and other persecuted minorities.
The world might be warmer due to global warming. If global warming is as dangerous as some scientist say, there will be less snow and more deserts. People will have to wear shorts and tee shirts instead of jackets and boots. If it’s too warm, future people may be forced to stay inside, in air-conditioning, during the summer months. More people will buy pools and beachfront property.
In conclusion, in 50 years people will watch streaming television while they ride to beach-parties in their self-driving cars. At the party, they won’t have to worry if they drink a little too much, because their car will drive them home. Everyone will be relaxed about social issues like religion, marijuana, and homosexuality. On the other hand, people will worry about rising temperatures and water shortages from global warming.
