The future! It's either going to be really, really amazing, or really, really
awful. Will we be commuting to work on flying bicycles on air-conditioned
highways, or replaced by robots and
hiding in our homes because antibiotics
have stopped working? Will cancer be cured?
Will there be Internet on Mars?
Will the letter Q still exist? Here are some predictions about the future
that may surprise or even shock you

Ray Kurzweil, a futurist and director of engineering

at Google, doesn't like the idea of people he loves
dying any more than you do. We can't stop them
from dying, but we can preserve their memories
a little better than just fading photographs.
He thinks we're heading towards an age when we'll be able to create virtual
reality avatars of our deceased loved ones, realistic enough that we can
interact with them. "This will be a way to bring him back," he says, referring
to his father.

Engineers at Samsung are hard at work trying to develop a pair of contact

lenses that let you go online and read your
favourite websites without lifting a finger.
You will read your e-mails, send text messages
And you won’t need a mobile or a computer to do
those activities. They will be really expensive.

Thanks to advances in cloning technology,
we will be able to bring back animals like
the woolly mammoths.
But according to Akira Iritani, a professor at
Kyoto University, "Now the technical problems have been overcome, all we
need is a good sample of soft tissue from a frozen mammoth. Will Jurassic
World be possible?

Also according to futurist Ray Kurzweil,

computers will be able to paint, write, and
compose far better than humans ever will.
Pieces of work will be better. They will be
cheaper too. Although computers won’t be

Superstitions can be defined as the irrational belief in the existence
of mysterious forces. If people don't take the correct action,
these forces will control their destinies. People of all social classes believe in different
superstitions. Sometimes, people don't want to admit that they believe in
superstitions, but they try to follow the correct action, just in case. Some superstitions are the
consequence of common sense. "If you walk under a ladder, something bad will happen. This is quite
obvious. Something can fall on the top of your head.
Others have their origin in old beliefs "If you carry a rabbit's foot, you will have prosperity."
Why do people associate rabbits to prosperity? Rabbits are prolific animals. Around 600 BC, they
became a symbol of fertility. So, if you have a rabbit's foot in your pocket or as a keyholder,
remember to rub it frequently and you will have as much as you want
"Knock on wood three times and the good spirits will help you."
Tradition says that when you touch or knock on wood, you will have the good spirits on your side. In
this way, they will bless you and send you good luck. If you don't find wood, don't worry. You can
touch your own head! Are you superstitious?
