Can you predict the future?
Think of 3 developments that will have been completed or 3 products that have become ubiquitous by 2050?

Questions

You'll be hearing predictions on the future: on what the world will look like in 2050. Listen and take notes. Afterwards, in groups, you are going to discuss the following questions (so while listening prepare for this):

1. What aspect of 2050 are you looking forward to most? Why?

2. What aspect of 2050 are you dreading most? Why?

3. Can you be real friends with a human hologram or a robot dog?

4. Which prediction is most likely to happen and which is least likely?

5. What other changes do you expect for 2050 (that haven't been mentioned in the video)?

You'll be divided into groups of 3 or 4. Discuss the questions stated below. Take notes (before you start the discussion decide on who is taking notes). Sustain your answers. Afterwards, every group will share their answers with the class.

1. What aspect of 2050 are you looking forward to most? Why?
