Blade runner 2049.
Today's question was to write a description of New Zealand in 80-90 years from now.We had to describe; what we will eat, where would we live and what jobs would we have This is my description.
Where we will live?
We would live in floating cubes that comes down when you want, we will have underground garages. The houses will be 50 meters by 50 meters because it is a cube. Kitchens will be controlled by robots who will overcook your food. Showers will be like a Human car-wash it will soap you spray you and dry you. Your bed will be electric, it will be called a sandwich bed. It makes a mould of your preferred sleeping position and will leave you room to manoeuver.
What jobs will we have?
The chance of having a job is 0.99 % Because Google will make working robots. Although I do not think robots are waterproof, so that leaves swim instructors, marine biologists and that is really it.
What will we eat?
In 2099 I do not think we will have animals or grass. We will eat robot meat, lab produced meat and vegetables. Everything will be cleared to make one gigantic city. So no fresh; crops, meat, fish, veges. Robots will cook and possibly overcook your food, which means no one will do anything for themselves, so they just become marine biologists or swimming instructors.
Other thoughts.
Robots will take over parliament and emergency services. Cars will still take people places but not with driver. Sport will be no longer (unfortunately). People won't watch TV, they will be plodding round on phones the size of a smart TV. Kids will have the choice of going to school (which will be taught by robots) or have surgery on your brain to have all information of the world inserted into your head, and we will have a 30 billion Albert Einsteins.
Will, you've drawn on a wide range of ideas which are being discussed currently (I think you've been listening to my National Radio!)
ReplyDeleteYou don't sound excited by the future, except maybe the bed and shower - how do you feel about the scenario you imagine?
Hi Will
ReplyDeleteWow! You have really put some thought into just what the future holds for us all.
I have to say that I don't think I want to live in your future. It is really different and sounds a little bit boring!
If we can't work or play sport things will be rather boring.
Giving kids the choice of going to school or not? What do you think they will choose? What would you do?
It would be a shame as it would seem like people don't really socialise with each other anymore either. I would miss that.
It will be really interesting to see just what the future does hold. Hopefully we don't get taken over by robots just yet!!
I met with Emiely this week and she has really loved blogging with you over the summer and felt like she had really got to know you over the summer. Sadly both her and Ellee have now finished working with the programme and Emiely is off on holiday before she heads back to university this year. She is going to make an amazing teacher at the end of this year. She is going back to do an honours programme this year so she will graduate with honours at the end of this year.
Well done Will, I hope you have enjoyed the activities that you have done. And I can tell you that things are well underway for an exciting programme again next summer.
I look forward to coming to school to hand out certificates and prizes soon.
Until then
Allie :)
