The World in the Next Century

The world is the next century will be much more advanced than ours.Machines will be more perfect,performing work many times more than our machines.As a result,the production of things of daily use like pens,watches,radios,TVs,computers,etc. will increase tremendously.People will be able to buy them at cheap rates.As machines will be more automatic and faster in operation,factory workers will work less and have more holidays and free time.More efficient machines will,at the same time,create problems of unemployment.

Farming will be almost completely mechanized in most countries.More efficient farm machines like tractors,threshers and harvesters and new machines not available now will be in common use.New kinds of fertilizers will make farms highly productive.There will be food surpluses in several parts of the world.There is also the possibility of developing foods in the form of pills.

In some countries,the cities and villages on the surface of the earth may not be enough for the increased populations.So engineers will make it possible to have underground cities.These cities get air from the earth's atmosphere or scientists will set up housing colonies on other planets like the moon,Mars,Venus or Jupiter.They will find ways of producing oxygen and food for human life to continue there.Then they will have the huge space stations with thousands of houses in each.These stations will hang in outer space or will be moving round the earth.

Traveling will be extremely fast and easy in the next century.Supersonic and double-decker aeroplanes will be in common use.It will be a matter of minutes to reach a place thousands of miles away.Railway trains may have speeds of hundreds pf miles per hour.Flying cars may also be in use for traveling over shorter distances.Nuclear powered ships at sea will be moving at much faster speeds.

It may be possible in the next century to use atomic and solar energy in place of oil,coal,gas etc.on a very large scale.Electricity for the use of the public or for industrial use will be produced at all places with atomic energy at extremely low costs.Airplanes,cars,railway trains and ships will be run on atomic energy.

New medicines to cure all kinds of dangerous diseases in a quick way may be invented.Some diseases like blood pressure and cancer which are a present quite incurable will be easily curable.This will bring down the death rate.Human beings will be able to live much longer.Then new kinds of surgical operation may make it possible to correct all kinds of defects of the body.

Computers will be in more common use doing much of the thinking and planning that businessmen,architects,engineers,doctors and technicians have to do.As "thinking machines," computers will be working in place of human brains in many ways.

Yes,all the above scientific progress is possible if all countries learn to live in peace.They should use science for peaceful purposes and for the progress of mankind.

Space Travel or Exploration

Space travel or journey to the moon is no more a dream.It is possible for man to travel into outer space in a spaceship over thousands of miles.It is now possible for him to travel to the moon.Space travel became possible when the Russians started sending artificial satellites into outer space in 1957.These satellites traveled around the earth hundreds of miles about it.Afterwards the Americans sent their satellites into outer space and reached the moon in 1969.

Spacemen or astronauts have to face difficulties and dangers.For example,they have to breathe oxygen as there is no air in outer space.They have to face the problem of weightlessness in space when they are out of the gravitational pull of the earth.They are trained well to face it.Extremely dangerous rays like "cosmic rays" and "solar rays" all the time attack the spaceship.

Spacemen go on talking to control stations on earth during space travel.Experts in these control stations advise the spacemen about their direction in space,speed of their ship, and so on.

Space travel is of great benefit.It has made visits to the moon possible.It may make it possible for man to travel to other planets like Mars.Spacemen collect a lot of useful information about space while traveling through it.They have special instruments on their spaceship to record facts about the different kinds of rays or radiations,electric charges,etc. present in space.These instruments also give useful information about the atmospheric pressure,pressure of the magnetic field of the earth when the spaceship is closer to the earth.They also tell about the presence of minerals and oil on the earth etc and in the sea.

Space travel should be for peaceful purposes alone.Spaceships or artificial satellites should never be equipped with weapons of war.All countries should work together in the field of space travel for the benefit of humankind.

Immigration-the Key to Success

When people come to live in a country,they are said to immigrate to it.When they leave a country to start living in another,they are said to emigrate to it.The advanced or developed countries accept immigrants for their purposes.When they find that the immigrants are growing too much in number to strain or upset their economics,they tighten their laws of immigration.

For a developing country like ours,where employment opportunities are shrinking,emigration to other countries is a way to success.We may look at the causes of this emigration from our country or immigration to other countries.

Firstly,for years our industrial and agricultural development has been on the decline.With a slowing down in the economic process of development,the people find it difficult to find new jobs or openings in business.They try to emigrate to countries where economic growth is high and the job situation is hopeful.

The question arises,how can we emigrate to the oil-rich or advanced countries for setting down or for a long stay?

In the present world situation,we have to keep a watch on the new industries and trades.If we educate and train our people for them,our workers will be in greater demand abroad.For example, the developed countries want to advance in the field of information technology as much as possible.If we produce graduates and postgraduates of the first order in computer and information technology,they can hope for immigration.

Further,we shall be acceptable to other countries if we can excel in the sciences and the arts in our own peculiar ways.Why can't we be the best of teachers,chemists,physicists,mathematicians,economists,political scientists,sociologists,linguists and writers if we try hard?Now is the time to make the best efforts to improve our learning and to excel in our respective fields of study and work.The results would be in our favor, and we would be in demand internationally.

In fact,the reputation of our people for scholarship,learning and ability will have to be established.Once we establish it like the Japanese or Koreans,there will no end to our migration to other countries for good.Then immigration into the wealthy,progressive or advanced countries will truly be the key to our future prosperity.

Advertisements

Advertising is a form of marketing communication used to persuade an audience to take or continue some action,usually with respect to a commercial offering,or political or ideological support.

In Latin,ad vertere means "to turn toward". The purpose of advertising may also be to reassure employees or shareholders that a company is viable or successful.Advertising messages are usually paid for by sponsors and viewed by various old media; including mass media such as newspaper,magazines,television advertisement,radio advertisement,outdoor advertising or direct mail; or new media such as blogs,websites or text messages.

Commercial ads often seen to generate increased consumption of their products or services through "branding", which involves associating a product name or image with certain qualities in the minds of consumers.Non-commercial advertisers who spend money to advertise items other than a consumer product or service include political parties,interest groups,religious organizations and governmental agencies.Non profit organizations may rely on free modes of persuasion,such as a public service announcement(PSA).

In a competitive society or in a capitalistic country like ours,advertisements are a necessity.Factories mass-produce goods, and shops, and firms sell them.The advertisement of these goods is meant to attract a wide variety of customers to buy them.

We look at the innumerable posters,notices,small boards and hoardings(called 'billboards' in American English),huge boards on the outside of buildings,and banners for advertisements at road crossings and street corners or in busy public places.At night,the advertisements are well lit.

Advertisements introduce new products to the general public,for example,the public comes to know readily of new medicines for diseases,effective techniques of constructing houses through companies having specialized knowledge,availability of new methods of teaching,new and useful fertilizers and equipments for agriculture that can add very rapidly to agricultural production, and so on.

The government advertises its schemes and policies to inform the public and to make it participate in them.It has advertised in the past its new housing plans,savings schemes,educational policies,issue of identity card,etc.from off and on.

Advertisements in newspapers for jobs in government departments and private organizations are highly useful.They help the offices and agencies to get readily trained manpower from the public.They help the educated public to get jobs and employment.The labor force gets work in government offices,market places and production centers through newspaper advertisements.

The education private sector mostly depends on advertisement and publicity to attract students to educational institutions.The huge posters,billboards, and newspaper ads provide information about courses and studies in different schools and colleges.

Advertisements of cigarettes,undesirable dress,expensive foods,harmful soft drinks, and time-wasting games should be discouraged.Cosmetics and items of make-up that cause waste of money and negative effect son health should not be put up at public places.

The visual pollution caused by the numerous pictures,signs,slogans and writings on billboards (hoardings)should immediately be checked.In the big cities,all the main roads and public parks are crowded by these most of which are a kind of nuisance.

Advertising should be developed as an art that pleases and informs the people rightly about the best products and services.
