Let us suppose it is now AD 2060. Let's believe it is fifty-three years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is very different.
Travels to the moon are being made every day. It is as easy to take a holiday on the moon today as it
was for the people in 1990 to take a holiday in Europe. At a number of scenic spots on the moon, many
hotels have been built. The hotels are air-conditioned, naturally. In order that everyone can enjoy the
beautiful scenery on the moon, every room has at least one picture window where everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of the young and the old.
What are people eating now? People are still eating food. They haven't yet started to take on heir(继承) supply of energy directly as electrical current or as nuclear power. But many foods now come in pill
form, and the food that goes into the pill continues to come mainly from green plants.
Since there are several times as many people in the world today as there were a hundred years ago,
most of our planet's surface has to be filled. The deserts are irrigated with water and crops are no longer
destroyed by pests. The harvest is always good.Farming, of course, is very highly developed. Very few people have to work on the farm. It is possible to run the farm by just pushing a few buttons now and
then.
People are now largely vegetarians. You see, as the number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, the people have to be vegetarians and we are healthier both in our bodies and in our minds, and we know the causes of diseases and pain and cures for them, and it is possible to get rid of
diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such will be our life in AD 2060.
