      How far in to the future? I think tomorrow I will have cake because it is my wife’s birthday. 🙂

      In terms of science though, I think in the near we will see a lot of very cool technologies, things like organs grown from stem cells and robotic prosthetics, become a lot more common

      In the future we will ride on jet cars, wear funky spacesuits and go to Mars. It must be true, I’ve seen it in a 1960s sci fi movie!

      Actually, in the future I think we will see biology take big leaps forward. As we learn how to do more things like gene therapy, we will have some big ethical issues to face about what makes us human. As we learn how to prolong life ever further into old age, so that we get older and more frail before we actually die, we will have to take some hard decisions about what makes life worth living.

      Hopefully I will pass my exams!!

      In science I think we will see some massive advancements in technology- it is crazy how much the mobile phone has changed so much in my life time. I think will people will go to Mars. Also I think we will start to see even more effects of the state of global warming which will be sad to see.
