There is an apple in the basket
There is a cup on the table
There are carrots in the bag
I usually have an apple juice for breakfast
Could I have a cup of tea?
Could I have a glass of milk?
Let's have a look
Is there banana in fridge?
That's a pity.
I can't make fish soup without carrots.
1. There are two cinemas and a cafe. 2. There aren"t any supermarkets, but there are a lot of shops. 3. There is a river but there isn't a beach. 4. There is a bus station and a railway station. 5. There are two parks but there isn't a beach.
We live at the beginning of the XXI century. It's not surprising that people have questions: what will it be like?
What awaits humanity ahead? And it would not hurt to ask what the future of humanity will be like, for everything that happens around is the work of people. So, our future depends on ourselves.
To be honest, I do not have very optimistic views on the future. It seems to me that the more a person knows, the worse it becomes. We feel like kings of nature, and nature avenges us for it. We believe that we can change the geography of the world: there the sea is dormant, there we will create it. But when this was done, did anyone think about the consequences of this? We discover new and new substances, and in the end it turns out that they threaten all of humanity. We pretend that we are fighting for human rights or state rights, but in fact we are waging normal wars. This was in the XX century. Will anything change in the XXI? I doubt it.
What kind of person will be the future? He will be intelligent, and too smart. But it will not be her own mind, it will be the mind of the computers that he creates. Why keep in mind a lot of formulas, schemes, etc? It is enough to create the program, and let the machine work further. So it will be 10, 20, 30 years, and the next generation will remember something, if they are all done by computers?
The man of the future will conquer the cosmos. But I do not think that it will benefit anyone. We are gradually destroying our planet, and so are other planets.
We will have a completely different culture and other art, because our society will be technical. Rural landscapes will replace cities that will all grow and grow. Artists will draw rockets, crowded streets and the inhabited Moon. Poets glorify scientific achievements and at the same time mourn for lost tranquility, because there is still the second side of the matter: people are so carried away by the creation of a new life that they forget that there are real friends, that the most important for a person is the family and that in the end is more attractive from the noise of the city is the singing of the nightingale.
We are already forgetting this, and the man of the future, even more so. But still it would be interesting to live in this future. Humanity, even feeling the danger ahead, will still approach it, because such is the nature of man: he always seeks to learn something, to discover, to subdue. Therefore, in essence the person of the future will not differ in anything from a person of the past or the present.
