What do you think our life will be like in 2050? Some people are talking about it on QQ.

Blue Sky

I think there won’t be any TV channels in 2050.People will be able to choose a programme from a “menu” and a computer will send the programme to the television.In 2050, we will be able to feel the things we see on TV with our hands.

Julia

In 2050, there won’t be enough water.Some places will be drier and people will not be able to have enough food.There may be serious water shortage (缺乏).

Ashley

Don’t be so worried about that, Julia! People will work out this problem.And I think there will be less water pollution.Water will be much cleaner than it is now.

Welcome to our program.You may have noticed that the world's population is not evenly (平均)distributed(分散)around our planet.There are some countries where people seem to be living nearly on top of each other because conditions are overcrowded.Then there are others where it seems that hardly anybody lives.What influences this unequal distribution of people? There are specific advantages and disadvantages of living in a certain area.The two main factors that influence people's choice of location are climate and resources.

Climate is the usual weather conditions in a region(地区).Areas that have bad weather are generally less ideal as places to live in.The north and south poles at the top and bottom of the world may be beautiful in their rugged, natural way, but the disadvantage of the bitterly cold and windy conditions usually keeps people away.When it comes to climate, warm conditions and a normal amount of rainfall are advantages that attract people.

Natural resources are things that we get from nature that help us survive.Each region offers different resources, and therefore attracts different groups of people. People who enjoy the beach car make their living by catching and selling the ocean's many fish and other sea creatures.Those who prefer farming can take advantage of rich soil in valleys near rivers.Some people are willing to accept the disadvantages of the terrible conditions of deserts or mountains in order to take advantage of the resources like oil or woods.
