1 I think in 50 years' time, flies will become gigantic, thanks to science, and they will be used for transport. This type of transport will be called : FLY TRANSIT.There will be seats on the back of this insect for passengers.Flies will be used only for short routes, because, if journeys are too long, the flies will tire. For long routes, the people of the future will use rockets. They will be like cars nowadays ; every family will have one. When they go on holidays, most people will go to the moon, with their rockets, and will stay in a hotel, or in their house.The principal activity on the moon will be werewolf-hunting. If they don't like this place, they will go to undersea cities, to practise scuba diving. I hope I will be alive to see all this!

2 WILL YOU TAKE UP THE GAUNTLET ?

Since the human race appeared,the Earth is picking on us ???. Indeed,the Earth imposes limits on us, but I truly believe that the roles are going to change in a short period, especially thanks to new forms of transport. Just forget your life for a moment and imagine yourself in a different world : welcome to the 22nd century. It is seven o’clock a.m. Like every morning you eat your breakfast and you dress yourself. Thirty minutes later, you are ready to commute to work. Before leaving, you take the bin out and you meet your neighbour who’s on his flying-ironing-board. Today you don’t take your own board because you have a meeting in another continent. So you go upstairs, you enter your canon. « BAM ». Five minutes later, you have crossed the Pacific ocean. You’re almost late. Summer is approaching,and you have nothing planned for your holidays. You open a tourism magazine which proposes very cheap travel. Last year, you went to the Earth’s center but you found it too warm, that’s why you want to change. Then you see an advertisement for galaxy travel, but you know how easy it is to get ill in space, so you look for another trip. Finally, you discover this one : a company has experimented a time-travelling-machine, and is searching for volunteers for its maiden voyage. Will you apply for it ?

3 Galaxy Travel Competition! In 50 years time, forms of transport might have totally changed. Traditional ways of travelling might not be the same. Researchers and everyone on earth wonder about what these forms of transport will be like. Imagination has no limits! Science-fiction can prove it. I think that in 50 years time, it will be easier to travel, maybe safer. We might cover long distances in a very short time! Machines will divide travellers in tiny particles that will go from one part of the universe to another at the speed of light. Tramways and tubes will be a thing of the past, workers will leave home in bubbles which will take them to work. Forms of transport will respect the environment, with no more noxious gas emissions. In 50 years time, I'll take my holidays on Mars. I'll go there with the particle machine and I'll take advantage of the sun with special sunglasses and I'll visit all the museums about Martians, and science fiction history.

4 In the next 50 years transport may improve, so what will our holidays be like? And how will we travel? In 50 years I hope that a new huge nature-friendly fuel will power our engines and replace nuclear energy. New anti-gravity cars will be floating over our heads like in some movies and will be powered by wind or sun energy. People who have old cars and who cannot afford to buy a new anti gravity car will be allowed to transform their old cars into hovercraft and will use them to travel all around the world. I hope that I will spend future holidays on the moon or maybe in the ocean. To go to these new holiday destinations I would like to go up in a shiny silver rocket as in my childhood dream. I hope all this will be possible thanks to new technology. But my guess is that all will be possible but very expensive and all flights to the moon will be booked by rich people. 5 GALAXY TRAVEL, OUR FUTURE !

Since our childhood, I am sure that most of us have dreamt about travelling to different galaxies. Some nights, we open our window and watch the stars, wondering what it is like up there. We might find an answer to this question in a few years time. Because of technology all our wishes could come true.

I think that in 50 years’ time, we will be using different forms of transport like rocket or space shuttle to travel in an interplanetary world, because travelling on the earth will be a thing of the past. This new style of travel will take place in space, between the stars or on some other planet like Mars! We will meet extraterrestrials who live very far away from us. This fantastic discovery will change our lives because a lot of people will be very interested by that and by the new people who live there.

6 Space Invaders Welcome to our article dedicated to the future! You might be reading this in the plane, but do you think we will still be using planes in fifty years’ time ? If you have ever dreamt of seeing Mars from your space-rocket, while going to work, be sure this article is for you ! In the not too distant future, we will all have flying cars, as it will be the fastest and simplest way to commute. These cars will be telescopic so that there will be no parking problems and, furthermore, we will be able to go to the top of skyscrapers without using the elevator. I hope that we will find an ecological fuel to be able to preserve our Earth from pollution in the next 5 or 10 years, at worst.

Nonetheless, flying cars won’t be used to travel from one planet to another (as we will, for sure, be living on lots of other planets). So, when we go to holidays, for example to Pegasus galaxy, or for those who work far away from home, we will take our personal space-rocket, or a transgalactic liner, which will be the future equivalent of today's aeroplane. Whatever the future holds, we have to hope we will have saved our Earth’s Health, so that new trips and holidays to different galaxies become ecological/ environmentally friendly.

7 Don't you often ask yourself what the world will be like in 2060 ? Wouldn't you like to take a journey through time to see all this? What forms of transport will we be using ? Where will we take our holidays ? In 50 years' time, scientists will have made a lot of progress, as they have done over the years. To my mind, we will be able to drive flying cars. There will not be roads anymore, but just airlifts. We will be able to move at incredibly fast speeds. A Parisian ,for example,will go to Marseille in ten minutes without having to take the plane with other travellers. And there will be urban subways under ground, four times faster than those of nowadays. And all of this will be cheaper than today ! Yes, because of the consumer society which will continue to develop, unfortunately for the planet. But that will not really be a big problem in 50 year's time.

With progress and the huge place which space is, we will have discovered other planets with indispensable resources to allow human beings to live. Maybe there will be other beings, on these planets. If you read the book of the fabulous science fiction writer John T.Price, « Orion » you will get a glimpse of what these new planets will be like, with other kinds of beings different from those existing on the Earth today. Since my childhood, I have always dreamt of being launched in a rocket towards that final frontier. I hope in 2060, people will spend some of their holidays on the moon or in a rocket ! All of this seems improbable. But, if you think of all the technological evolutions which have occurred over the last 50 years, you will agree that it's possible.

I'm sure that, reading this article, you dream of taking holidays on the moon. For the moment, it's almost impossible, unless you have a good imagination : build your imaginative future world with John T.Price's staggering stories. It will give you a taste of this life !
