We don't know how different our life will be in the future．We can only try to imagine it．
At first we think about human relationships．In the year 2050，we will use computers almost every day．We will make new friends through the Internet﹣even our husbands or wives will be met in this way．It will be much faster and easier for us．On the other hand，the relationship between people won't be as important as it is today．We will feel a little lonely．
Computers will also help us in many other activities in 2050．For example，they will be used by the children at school to make their learning easier．In addition，there will be much more other machines which will play a similar role as computers，like robots which will do the housework for us．
Spending holidays will also be completely different．It will be possible for everyone to travel to other planets or to the moon．Means of transport will，of course，change，too．We will use solarpowered cars，which will be much more environmentally friendly．
We could expect that the faster technological progress would lead to a more polluted environment．But it isn't true．We will pay more attention to protecting the environment．And scientists will probably find cures for many diseases，like cancer or AIDS．Therefore，our surroundings as well as health will be in better condition．
Although we can't predict the exact changes which will be made in the world，we often think about them．We worry about our and our children's future；we have expectations，hopes as well as fears．But I think we should be rather sanguine（充满信心的） about our future．We should be happy and believe good things will happen．

【参考翻译】我们不知道未来我们的生活会有多大的不同，我们只能尽力去想象。
起初，我们考虑的是人际关系。在2050年，我们几乎每天都会使用电脑。我们将通过互联网结交新朋友——甚至我们的丈夫或妻子也会以这种方式相遇。这对我们来说会更快、更容易。另一方面，人与人之间的关系将不像今天这样重要。我们会感到有点孤独。
到2050年，计算机还将在许多其他活动中帮助我们。例如，学校里的孩子们将使用计算机来使学习更加容易。此外，还会有更多的其他机器，它们将扮演与计算机类似的角色，例如为我们做家务的机器人。
假期的花费也将完全不同。每个人都可以去其他星球或月球旅行。当然，交通工具也会改变。我们将使用太阳能动力汽车，这将对环境更友好。
我们可以预期，更快的技术进步将导致更污染的环境。但事实并非如此。我们将更加关注环境保护。科学家可能会找到治疗许多疾病的方法，如癌症或艾滋病。因此，我们的环境和健康将处于更好的状态。
