To find answers to these questions, they worked with 10- and 11year-old children from ten schools located in rural and urban areas over the whole of Sweden There were two main phases to the project First, all the children were asked to write an essay, and illustrate it, on the theme “The Future: 2000 AD” Then the scientists went round to the different schools to talk to the children, basing their discussions on the general question “What will the future be like?” and “What can we to ensure that the future is as we want it to be?” A pattern soon emerged, showing that there was considerable agreement about which problems were important and how the problems should be dealt with Pollution and the environment – This was the most important question for many of the children, and they all agreed that we must everything in our power to clean up the mess we have made – factories, nuclear wastes, cars – and to make sure that we cause no further damage to our natural surroundings Energy and power – We must cut down on the use of fossil fuels and nuclear power, and find new natural ways of producing energy (wind, sun, water, and so on) Automation – Here it was agreed that computers and robots will play an increasingly important part in our lives Man will become lazy, and the resulting unemployment will make things very difficult for us However, many of the children were obviously excited by the prospect of new machines that would perform routine tasks such as household chores Violence and War – Many children were frightened by the threat of a third world war These were several suggestions for putting an end to war, such as total disarmament and laws against research into weapons The overall view of the world in the future was one of destruction, war, and natural or unnatural catastrophe There was a strong feeling of pessimism and helplessness in the face of adult stupidity Summing up the results of the project, one of its leaders, Per Stenson of Lulea Technical University, said, “We’ve obviously got to pay more attention to our children After all, apart from being the scientists of the future, they are also the people who have got to live in the world we are creating.” 11 Which of the following is the best title of the passage?
