Letter: Letters: Visions wanted

From APRIL HOPE DIXON

We are the Upper Juniors of Edradour School. We are 7, 8 and 9 years
old. We are doing a Futurology Project, studying what the future might be
like. We try to imagine what it would be like, for example, if in 50 years,
we could go to other star systems in our galaxy. We’ve been studying about
robots and about communication and we have been having lots of fun. We are
doing this because we want to learn about it, because it is interesting
and because we want to be prepared for the future.

We would like to find out what different kinds of people, like scientists,
business people or farmers, think about the future and to compare their
ideas. Would you tell us what you think life might be like in 50 years time,
in 2044? Do you know anyone else who might want to write to us about their
ideas of the future? If you do, would you show them our letter? Please write
back.
