1. In the articles “Welcome to the Future” by Matthew Hutson, and “What May Happen in the Next 100 Years” by John Elfreth Watkins Jr., both talk about good and bad things that will happen in the future, but what does that say about us? In the article “Welcome to the Future” by Matthew Hutson, it talks about how we have already damaged the earth enough to make some big changes to weather and more. In the article, it says “Current forecasts show Earth warming up, sea levels rising, and storms and droughts getting more severe. Many of us will move to safer regions. As global warming continues, some coastal cities will have to be abandoned” (Hutson 23). This shows that if we keep using harmful gasses, and burning coal and diesel, places like

This shows that most of the things that were said are true, and is not a good thing that we are genetically affecting animals so there whole life is getting fat and making milk. In the article “Welcome to the Future” by Matthew Hutson, it talks about how we will realize that using animals just for food, and slaughtering them by the thousands is wrong and that we will just eat fake meat. In the article, it says “Raising animals is not an efficient way to produce food, and it harms the environment: Cows, chickens, and pigs eat a lot, and then we have to deal with all that poop (and that poop can end up poisoning lakes, rivers, and streams). Today, scientists can “grow” meat in a lab from animal cells, but it’s expensive and not very appetizing. In the future, they will have perfected the process. You’ll order hamburgers that come from factories, not cows. Scientists may even find ways to make lab-grown meat faster and healthier than the real thing. Yum?” (Hutson 23). This shows that in the future, we are trying to fix some of our problems and make the earth a cleaner place. In conclusion, in the future we are trying to fix a lot of problems that we have right now like how we are going to run out of fossil fuels. But there are still going to be problems that we can't fix like global …show more content…
In the articles “Welcome to the Future” by Matthew Hutson, and “What May Happen in the Next 100 Years” by John Elfreth Watkins Jr., both describe the futures, but they talk about different times, and they describe the future in very different ways. In the article “Welcome to the Future” by Matthew Hutson, it talks about the future in the year 2113 and how it will be great. In the article, it says “Traveling will be a lot more convenient. Spaceship-like planes will fly above the atmosphere, enabling them to go anywhere in the world in just a few hours. But really there won’t be as much need for travel. Thanks to virtual reality, you’ll be able to have Thanksgiving dinner seated next to holograms--that is, realistic digital projections--of your grandparents” (Hutson 23). This shows that the future will be fun and really cool, and with all this new technology, it might help us clean up the earth. In the article “What May Happen in the Next 100 Years” by John Elfreth Watkins Jr., it talks about a person predicting what 2001 would look like, because it was writing in 1900 they had no idea if they were right. In the article, it says “The American will be taller. Mosquitoes, house-flies, and roaches will have been practically exterminated. Everyone will walk 10 miles. Wireless telephone circuits will span the world. No foods will be exposed. Hot or cold air will be turned on from spigots. There will be no wild animals except in menageries. Man will see around the world”
