Let us suppose it is now about A. D. 2060. Let's believe it
is about forty-four years from now. Of course, things have changed and life is
very different.
Voyages 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 1960 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. Everything imaginable is provided for entertainment of
young and 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. They may some day. But many
foods now come in pill forms, 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 (灌溉) 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.
Such would be our life in 2060.
