Let us suppose it
is now about A.D. 2060. Let's make believe it is about sixty years from now. Of
course, things have changed and life is very different.
Journey 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(景点) 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 their
supply of energy directly as electrical current(电流)
or as nuclear power. They may some day. But many foods now are 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(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.
People are now
largely vegetarians(素食者). You see, as the
number of people increases, the number of animals decreases. Therefore, people
have to be vegetarians and they are healthier both in their bodies and in their
minds, and they know the causes and cure of disease and pain, and it is
possible to get rid of diseases. No one has to be ill any more.
Such would be our
life in 2060.
