HOW  DIFFERENT WILL LIFE BE IN 20 YEARS?
Advances in science and technology are transforming our world. 
These advances are changing every aspect of our lives. The 
twenty-year technological jump (from 2015 to 2035) will be huge. 
 
But not everything in the future will be like in science fiction books: food pills, flying cars and bases on the moon. The world in 2035 will probably be like it is today, but smarter and more automatic. Some innovations we might not notice, while others will change our lives forever.

THE FUTURE OF FOOD
The population will have a better diet, more plant-based and less 
dependent on processed food.

THE FUTURE OF WORK
The new technology will replace jobs: taxis replaced by Uber self-controlled cars; receptionists replaced by robots... Obviously, there will also be new jobs: the computer mechanic who fixes the self-driving Uber taxis, programmers…
 
THE FUTURE OF HEALTH
Prevention will become the solution for a better control of our 
health information, using small watches.

THE FUTURE OF TECHNOLOGY
Technology will be smarter and cheaper. For example, televisions 
will notice when we are not using them they will turn off by
themselves to save energy.
 
In conclusion, we only have to look around us to see how much can 
change the world in a short space of time.

Before I die, I want to...


1. Go to Australia

I want to go to Australia before I die, because I have family there, and I’ve never seen them. I want to go there because I like animals and nature, and in Australia there are lots of different animals. There I could take lots of cool photos, and go to different zoos.
I wouldn’t get in the sea, because in Australia there are sharks, and I’m afraid of sharks.




  
2. Meet FCB players

I play football in Cabrera de Mar, and I like it a lot. I have gone to lots of Barça matches, and I enjoy seeing every match. I would like to meet FCB players, because they are my idols. I have lots of football shirts, and most of them are from FCB. I have seen a few players in the street, but I have never talked to them. I would ask them how to improve, and lots of things.





3. Go skydiving


I would like to skydive because I like feeling adrenaline, and I like going fast. I know a friend of mine whose dad did it once. He says that at first ha was scared, but when he jumped he liked it. I think I am going to do it in the future.
