Imagine living 100 years from now in the year 3001 !! These web pages, written from the viewpoint of someone living 100 years from now, try to convey what life might be like then as a result of technological innovations which are happening now. Will advances in areas such as Information Technology, Bio-technology, Genetic engineering and Space manufacturing enable people to look forward to a longer, healthier and happier life, or will technological innovation be used to control society and reinforce privilege ? Social changes are inevitable as society adapts to the new technologies and, while it is easier to imagine faster and more powerful computers, improved purity of drugs and compact fusion reactors, it is much harder to predict social developments which depend on economic and political factors as well as technological innovation. These pages may be used as 'discussion starters' to get students to think about their own perception of technology and its effect on everyday life and to appreciate that not all technological advances bring benefits to all people.

		Guidance on how to use these discussion starters.
