What is the world going to be like in 2020?
We will do all work by computer. Do you know the 3D's? They are Dangerous. Dirty. Difficult. Robots will do dangerous work. For example, they will play an important part in police. They will catch robbers. Also, they will do dirty and difficult work.
We will eat much food. But we will not be fat. The food will be high protein and low calories. What is worse, we will eat a drug when we are hungry and we will be full.
Now, we have big families. But, in 2020, we will have little families.
Now, we ride a bicycle, go a board a ship, go by train and fly in an aeroplane. But in 2020, all of us will have a helicopter. Cars will use hydrogen and solar energy instead of oil.
We will live for a long long time, and we will study at home. In 2020, we will be useful. But we will have to make an effort to have an effect.

" What will happen in future? "
Scientific technique will progress rapidly and our life will contain a lot of change. In a future community, movie things will become reality. Cars will run on hydrogen and oxygen.Cafes will gain popularity. Also, robots will take charge of dangerous things of every kind.
Robot entertainers will command general popularity like robot singers. Moreover, clothes, food and shelter will be different. One tablet will control a large number of tastes and degrees of satiety.
Our houses will be in a place at the bottom of the sea. Houses will move to the surface of the water on command. And we will use one suit of special clothes for all 4 seasons.
Most important, environmental problems will be solved. For example, one capsule will purify lots of muck. Like this, present problems will be solved and human's lifes will improve. Future communities will find solutions for all problems because we will study and make an effort.

What is the world going to be like in 2020?
In 2020, our food, clothing and shelter will be modified. It'll be more convenient than now. Robot's functions will be various. First, how will our dress change? Maybe, dress will be simple because climate will be warm. Second, how will our food change? In 2020, maybe global population will become about 8,000 million, so food will be in capsule form. Because there will not be enough food. And shelter. Maybe shelter's shape will be simple, function will be control by remote control. Also, robots are going to do the cooking and cieaning in the house. And our transportation will be conve- nient. Maybe, we will change present cars for air-cars. Last globally, people will become neighbors.

In 2020, the future will be a automatic society. Science will make remarkable progress. First, computers will administrate society. Robots will work at simple and dangerous jobs. We will use solar endrgy, and we will develop harmless resources.
Cars will fly in the air. And then every street will be a escalator. Medical technology will develop artificial internal organs, so we will live ever longer. We will grow quickly.
Environmental pollution will become more strained, so we will make a man-made nature environment. Clothes will express a marked individuality. We will take nutrition pills, but food will be necessary for people.
We will invent simultaneous tranwlating mechanisms, so we will not study foreign languages. We will travel outwardinto space.Buildings will becom higher, and we will live in underwater cities, because glaciers will melt away.

In the year 2020
In the future, computers will dominate our life. There will be many changes.
Frist, Houses will be small. Walls will hide everything. If we press a button a bedroom with a bed will appear. And press another button, the diningroom table will appear.
Second, Energe will not use oil. Instead, we will use electricity or solar energe. The result, pollution will disappear. We will have clean water and air, so we will increase the average span of a man's life.
Third, Computers will do work at the house. Because every house will have computers. Our life style will have great changes. For example, we will wear clothes. Which are codinated by computer and we will make up to wear a mask. It will be comfortable and international borders disappear, so money will become like the EURO.
In conclusion in the twenty-first century the globe will change throughout humanity.

What Will Korean Society be Like in 2020 ?
At the beginning of 20th century, Korea entered a colonial period under Japanese control. In 1945, the United States dropped atom boms on Hiroshima and Nagasaki and brought World War ��to a conclusion. Korea became independent, but was placed under U.N trusteeship, which resulted in the Korean War and Korea remains divided to this day. President Kim Dae Jung has come up with his 'sunshine policy in order to bring about reunification. There are three major points to this policy: economic interchange, cultural interchange, and political stability. The effort of this three-pronged policy will bring about the unification of Korea in 2020.
With a view to unification, South Korean firms have been promoting inter-Korean economic ties. Though Korea has met an economic crisis, President Kim has emphasized economic interchange as an important part of bringing peace to the Korean peninsula in the 21st century.
Taechang Company, a South Korean underwear maker, plans to introduce mineral water and donated 50,000 tons of fertilizer to famine-stricken North Korea. Last month, World Vision, a South Korean civic group, sent a great deal of relief medicine and equipment worth about ��250,000 by ship to North Korea. Greater economic interchange and economic aid will improve inter-Korea relations and will help unify the country by 2020. A unified Korea will create a new economic power. For example, the domestic market will grow considerably. There will be much construction in the north and an expansion of social programs to help all people. Because of the cheaper labor in the North, many mid-size firms in South Korea will relocate to the North. Korea's economic power will grow tremendously by 2020.
The Mt, Kumgang tour, a direct result of the��sunshine policy��, has already begun producing economic synergy. More important, it is bringing about greater cultural interchange. Although there have been a few problems with the entry of the cruise ships, nearly 40,000 South Koreans have already toured Mt. Kumgang, the site of the first inter-Korean tourism deal. In addition, the Unification Ministry has proposed a soccer game between South and North Korean workers on August 10 in Pyongyang. Breaking cultural barriers will improve inter-Korea relations and cultural interchange will drive Korea towards unification in 2020. If Korea becomes unified, Korea will have a wealth of tourist attractions: Mt. Bakdu, Mt. Myohyang, and Kaesong, the capital of the Koryo Dynasty. Korea will turn into a tourist destination and showcase its culture to the world. Despite the 'sunshine policy', North Korea routinely sends submarines into South Korean waters to gather intelligence and place their spies in the south. A spy vessel was seen at Kangnung in 1996 and a spy boat was seen at Yosu in 1998. North Korea's military strength is far stronger than South Korea's North Korea not only produces arms, but sells them abroad as well. The Korean and American governments are careful not to provoke the North into attacking the South. That is why peace talks are needed. President Kim has called on Tokyo and Washington to seek direct ties with Pyongyang and has also proposed the 6-Nation talks. All countries are doing their best to find ways to end the Cold War on the Korean peninsula. These efforts will lead to a more open North Korea and eventually, a unified Korea in 2020. If Korea becomes unified, it will have great military strength. Perhaps Korea will take on a greater political and military role in East Asia.
Korea has been reforming itself in many aspects : economic, cultural and political. Koreans are looking forward to prosperity in the 21st century and are reforming to reach that goal. Korea faces an historical opportunity in unification, but it will have to undergo much change if it hopes to be unified by 2020. There will certainly be problems in reaching that goal and there will continue to be problems after unification. However, Korea will be a stronger country in 2020 and its efforts in the present will produce good results for the future.
paraphrased from 'what will korean society be like in 2020?' by chun-ki with some changes by me
What is the world going to be like in 2020?
There will be many changes in 2020. First, let's think about changes in food. I think food will not change in particular.
There will be many variations in school. Every student will not go to school, because students will take lessons on computer.
All CD's, tapes will disappear in the field of music in 2020, too. Solar energy cars or electric cars will appear.
In the home, there will be many changes. Cleaning Robots are going to clean all houses. Cleaning Robots will wash dishes and clothes. Maybe we will find out a secret from Mars. We will travel the moon by cosmic rocket. Science will more developed. In 2200, we will travel the universe by rocket and we will travel the past or future by TIME MACHINE! Changes will appear in sports, too. Every sport's equipment and training system will develop, so sports recording will be more and more extended. Our occupations will involve more and more fractionation and specialization.
A driving license will not be necessary because cars will drive naturally. In conclusion, I think our life will become more convenient, easier and more scientific in the future.
Last I want Korea to be the number one country in the world in 2020.
