Life in this country in 50 years time
It is difficult for me to make any predictions about the future, especially when my faith in a better future is undermined by people's unreasonable behavior. This is how I see the future of my country 50 years from now.
I think artificial intelligence will make our lives easier, but busier. There will be robots everywhere so we will need more technicians, engineers and programmers to keep these robots working. People will live longer with better medicine and research available on healthy living. I hope there will be no wars or conflicts, but there will be a problem of preserving our national traditions and native languages. Globalization will promote the further spread of the English language and, perhaps, Chinese will become the second most popular foreign language. It is possible that many Chinese will come to live in Russia, and this can lead to problems with the local population. If global warming continues, Russia might be among the countries that will benefit from this situation. In Siberia there will be a milder and temperate climate with less coverage of permafrost, which will create suitable conditions for cultivation of such crops as melons, watermelons, berries, maize and grapes.
The most important thing is that the citizens of our country must become more reasonable and responsible, and then our country will live well.
