Some people have the view that in the next century, a significant proportion of humanity will have a better connections of living, due to modern technologies, medicine development and advances in science. I partially agree with that, life will probably improve, but only if humanity solve several serious threats.
First of all, medicine had a considerable rise in technologies and methods. Many medications have been developed in the last century, so it is possible to say, that the level of medicine help will qrow gradually in the future. This is obviously leads to increasing of life expectancy. Innovations also occured in the field of heavy labor. Robots, manipulators and other automatic technologies protect workers from dangerous situations and a risk of death. Also humanity experienced a large decrease in the level of poverty, while the quality of living and happiness largely increased. For this reason, predictions for following years could be the same.
However, rapid development entails negative consequences. The increase in population also leads to higher carbon dioxide emissions into the atmosphere, which has a detrimental effect on the climate, potentially rendering many achievements outdated. Following this growth, socioeconomic inequality will continue exponentially increase. It will continue to grow exponentially, and, as is well known, such a growth curve describes both natural and human‑made disasters, so in the end we can expect a serious economic crisis in the future. A rise in the life expectancy will lead to the problem of overpopulation and a lack of resources for pension insurance.
In conclusion, I partly agree that life will become better for the majority of people over the next hundred years, as scientific and technological progress is likely to improve healthcare, living conditions and safety. However, I believe that serious challenges, such as climate change, economic inequality and overpopulation, may prevent these benefits from reaching everyone. Therefore, the future quality of life will largely depend on how successfully humanity addresses these problems.
