What the future will need to be foreseen. Science fiction writers differently describe the future. But in most cases they are similar in one: in the company of people there will be robots which will have an artificial intelligence, and people will start to move on other planets. It is possible, so it and will be. After all once people thought that the earth flat but when began to plow open spaces of the ocean and to open continents, understood that affairs is absolutely in a different way.

Over time people also will start to open new planets as once opened new continents. The person can't sit in place, it is directed in the future, before it still a set of secrets which to it should be opened.

Someone is afraid of the future as uncertainty always frightens. That nobody waits for the person through some hundreds years knows. A lot of things depends on the person, he creates history and builds the future. Probably, the most important consists in that people took care of the future for new generation that they shouldn't be suffered from diseases, shortage of food. We should care of the future, about in what condition mother Earth will get to our descendants.

The City of my Dream Since young age, I have always wondered what the perfect place for living would be like. Now, I can say that I have a clear vision of the city of my dreams. First of all, it should be situated in a sunny part of our planet and have great weather conditions all year round. Secondly, there should be neither crime nor any violence there. Only good and kind people can reside in such city. Life can be much easier and nicer if everyone is loving and understanding. In the city of my dreams people will live in peace and quiet, without any worries and fears. This city will have excellent roads, cheap stores, many beautiful parks and playgrounds for kids, several entertainment centers and else. The population of the city will be neither too rich, nor poor. People will live equally well. Older people will be respected and taken care of. The streets will be clean and safe. There will be no homeless animals in the city of my dreams. Another important condition is to have a loyal government. People in the city of my dream will never be in a hurry and they will do only the jobs they like. However, I certainly understand that it’s just my dream, I really hope that at least some of the mentioned qualities will come true in the future.
