hello hello hi today we talk about the
changing world we try to imagine what
the world will be like in the year 2025
and we talked to this man
who's a
writer what will the world be like in
the year 2025 what will have happened
what do you think I think the
population of the world will have
increased and the major cities will have
become much bigger what about you
well I hope that a lot of things will
have improved such as I hope we'll have
found the answer to our traffic problems
and I hope that doctors will have
discovered more ways to serious
and I hope that
people will have learned how to live in
peace so what do naturally and
think or hope will have happened by the
year 2025 the population of the world
will have increased and all the world's
major cities will have become much
bigger I hope that we will have found
the answer to our traffic problems I
hope that doctors will have discovered
more ways to and
diseases but do we really know what will
happen in the next 30 years do we even
know what will happen in the next 30
days what will you have done by this
time next month I hope I will have been
on holiday to
I will have directed my first play by
this time next month
Oh have packed my stuff to go to
I'll have to everybody
Oh have given in my notice at work I
will have appointed 17 new teachers I
will probably have unless
I get a job in the next two weeks I will
have had my out oh I will
have turned 30 I'm turning 30 on Friday
the 13th
so that's a big occasion
she's a very nice baby she is an
extraordinary baby extremely
really oh yes she is going to be an
amazing person oh yes indeed by the time
she's three years old my little girl
would have learned to read and write
she'll finish school by the time she's
11 and by the time she's 15 she will
have graduated from university and by
the time she's 21 she will have become
Prime Minister by 10 o'clock tonight I
still won't have had any breakfast the
baby had a about the very
near future by 10 o'clock tonight I
still won't have had any breakfast
writers often write
about how the world will change in the
future
is a
writer he has a lot of ideas about how
the world will have changed by the year
2025 before we hear that let's find out
something about his work and his
interests well I am an author and
journalist and I am a writer I
write novels I'm
interested in the sciences and I'm
interested in people what
they really mean I like to carry
scientific thought into the fabric of
daily life I'm not interested in the
sciences I want to talk
and think about how they actually affect
people in their daily lives the way they
dress the way they work what they do how
they react how they live how they die
how they eat how they suffer I'm
interested in the human impact of
now I work at
home and I work on a computer so I spend
all day in front of its screen and then
to relax I will often move into the
other room and approach another screen
this time the television screen but with
one I sit right before it close enough
to touch it and with the other I sit
across the room and I address it with a
now these two screens
have the same images and they will
increasingly share data the question is
under what circumstances will I sit
before them and under which will I like
lie down before them and I think you
will find the two as time goes
on you will find yourself doing more and
more work on your television and more
and more work that's almost
from play and a lot of
ways already I find many of my social
relations the way I talk to people is
very electronic it takes place through
network
it takes place through telephones
through eventually I will
be seeing them on the television and it
will be difficult for me to tell work
from play and work from parties
is a writer
who's interested in the impact the
effect of Science and Technology
on our daily lives like a lot of people
works all day in front of a
computer screen
and when he's not working he watches
television and he predicts that soon
telephones will have video screens he
says it will be difficult for him to
tell work from play work
from play let's hear what he thinks the
world will be like in the year 2025
which will be the most powerful
countries the most powerful nations in
the world
I suspect that by the year 2025 we may
have forgotten all about the concept of
nations I really believe that we will
have moved to the concept of trading
by 2025 and it's true that
seems surprisingly powerful
at this point in time but I suspect that
that won't last that we will have moved
to a society where national boundaries
and even cultural boundaries are
increasingly they'll have
less and less to do with people's
less and less to do with
people's daily lives what about the
United Nations Organization
I suspect that by 2025 the United
Nations will have become a much more
powerful force but perhaps not under the
same name I think we will see some kind
of environmental police force an
international force which has the power
to local affairs if it
feels that it serves the interest of the
global environment
and what will the future be like for
Europe I think that Europe has a great
deal to teach the world possibly
probably more so at this point in time
than the United States or even the the
groups Europe has been a
source of a lot of trouble in the
and it's
trouble and political trouble if the
Europeans can learn their
own then perhaps the rest of
the world can learn the other hand if
the Europeans cannot do this then I
very great trouble probably
another world war perhaps more
in the earlier ones not a nuclear world
war but a war over resources basically a
sized and that's
not a pleasant prospect but I don't
believe that will in fact happen I think
the Europeans will have their open
orders I think they will have a won
European currency and I think they have
a good chance of becoming the single
most powerful of the three
I see coming let's listen again to two
of Bruce's we may have
forgotten about the concept of nations
the United Nations will have become a
much more powerful force
we've heard what thinks
will have happened to the nations of the
world by the year 2025
what does he think will have happened to
our industries I believe we will have
stopped wasting so many of our resources
I believe we will have installed much
more I believe that our
industries will have become much cleaner
they will have been from top
to bottom to save energy to save
resources to stop pollution I believe we
will take much more care about what we
put into our environment in the way of
chemicals and I believe also that
our eating habits will change
we will be eating material
in 2025 that would be basically
than anyone today I think
there will be a great for
because they're cheap
to make
I believe practices like
for food will still be around
that they will have been abandoned in
great extent not because of moral
reasons but basically for financial
reasons they're simply not going to be
room for enormous of cattle what
about people in the year 2025 will we be
better or worse we will have become more
advanced that we will not have become
any more moral I think we will still see
the same the same the
same basic animal that have
always but on the
other hand I don't believe we will have
become any worse and perhaps our
increasing knowledge may bring us a
little bit more wisdom so in some ways
Bruce is about the
future yes he predicts that by 2025 we
will have stopped wasting our resources
and will be more using things
again
instead of throwing them away and he
thinks that industries will have become
much cleaner he also thinks that by 2025
we may have become a little hmm an
thought to end the program
