Modelling the future
Influencing aspects of „Modelling the future“:
education, sustainability (environment), new technologies (renewable energies), economic aspects (hunger -
obesity), overpopulation, politic conflicts
Science & technology
Science: tries to describe & explain phenomena of the natural world to make predictions for the
development of the future
Technology: tries to improve life by inventions of efficiently/ productive character
- a Utopia is a vision of the future, in which everything is ideal & every individual can live a free & fulfilled
life
- a Dystopia is a vision of the future, in which there is an overall great suffering & in which the individual
usually can’t lead a free & fulfilled life, mostly because they live in is either totalitarian or post-apocalyptic
UTOPTIA DYSTOPIA
- freedom of the individual - government as a facility that tries to control
- ideal society (no poverty & no hunger, classless people’s actions, thoughts & minds (ex.
society) dictatorship)
- possibility of an individual pursuit of happiness - divided society (into classes etc.)
- equality - no freedom of choice, speech or freedom to
- balanced ecosystem choose own path of life

Definition: Use of science & technology for living objects
Examples: Stemm cell studies, Health care studies/ products, Genetic modified food, cloning
History:
1980s: working with humane genes started Applications of genetical modification today:
1986: open-air experiments involving plants - biological/ medical research
1996: commercial cultivation of genetically - production of pharmaceutical drugs
modified plants - experimental medicine
cloning was successful: DOLLY (SHEEP) - Agriculture: genetically modified crops (made
2003: sequencing of the human genome resistant towards pests/ insects)
2009: first transgenic primates
- genetically modified microbes (such as bacteria) are used to build/ produce important human enzymes/
substances such as insulin or growth hormones, they also produce substances which build resistances
against crop pests in plants
- genetically modified animals are used for human research of medicine or other products, the testing/
research of genes whose function is yet to be revealed to mankind or for the production of human
substances (like bacteria does)
- genetically modified plants have been built to resist insects or pests, they are also often times induced
with growth hormones or substances which increase their nutritional value -> bring huge profit to big
concerns (especially in the USA)
- Designer babies => babies whose chromosomes have been manipulated to show the absence/
presence of certain characteristics (usually refers to disease prevention = if one parents has a severe
disability, but it is feared that people in the future will misuse it to totally engineer their yet unborn child)
