1. Ask students to write down a list of changes they expect to see in the world by a date 50 years hence. For example: We shall have a working day of four hours. Every home will have a video telephone. People will live to be 100 or more. Europe will be a single country.
2. They may be told to write as many as they can in the time given; or you may want to give them a series of topics (education, technology, politics, fashion, sport, etc.), and ask them to write one or more idea for each; or they may be asked to describe three or four developments they expect to occur in areas they are expert in.
3. As a variation, students can try to sort their predictions into 'optimistic' and 'pessimistic' ones - not always as clear-cut a distinction as you might expect!
