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.

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).

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.
