Even with all the super - automated , mass - produced , computer - controlled engineering science we are evolving every day there is still no reason why our years - old tradition should ever melt .
And so Christmas in the year 2003 might not be that much unlike from the festival we all love today . But though the celebrations may mean the same , and the traditions may still go on , some thing will probably have change … .
Christmas Cooking by Computer
For instance it might well be that everyone ’s Christmas dinner party will be cooked with the aid of a menage computing machine . This will be good intelligence for the housewife – all she will have to do will be to set the dial and sit around back until the meal is wangle . The calculator will make certain that the right temperatures are wield , and when the food is done to a turn it will switch off the heat .
This rut could be microwave , as is used in some restaurants today , or it might be the unexampled ‘ cold heating ’ , which use infra - red rays , radiate from a series of tubes . This ‘ insensate high temperature ’ , which is bid ‘ cold ’ because it does not glow red or appear to be red-hot at all when you take care at it , will be used for broil .
A Plastic Pine
The traditional decorated Sir Herbert Beerbohm Tree is very unlikely to be a literal tree diagram , but will probably be a plastic one , just as some household already have today . But to make it seem like the traditional Christmas festival , the plastic tree will probably be knock up with the smell of pine .
If pollution and the effects of the universe explosion go on at the present rate , there will plausibly be very few trees left in the earthly concern , and any forests which do still be will be protected by stringent laws .
card and Presents
Christmas cards might well be a thing of the past tense by 2003 .
Already people can talk on the telephone to friend and telling yard of miles away , and by 2003 you might even be able to see the person you are talk to , if the videophone come into coarse exercise .
Christmas messages might perchance also be sent on recording tape , and as this could well be the heaviness of a human hair , such a tape would tally neatly into a small envelope .
There are two theories about the form of Christmas presents you might expect in 2003 , and no one can say exactly which of them is correct .
Because of the incredible advances in automation , machines might well be doing most of the workplace in our factories and offices , and so everyone might have much more leisure time time . Many people conceive that this will lead to a revivification of handicrafts of all kinds , both because everyone will have more prison term for the craftsmanship regard and also because of the sheer unattractiveness of many mass - create goods .
So , if that possibility is correct , Christmas presents in the year 2003 would belike be helping hand - made garments , handbound Word , and beautifully - made objects in such materials as silver , gold , porcelain and hunky-dory china .
The opposing possibility argues that these handiwork are being widely forgotten , and that there are fewer and fewer craftsmen , so that interest in handicrafts might eventually die wholly . If that happen , your 2003 Christmas present tense is more likely to be something like a miniature pocket computer , or perhaps a ticket for a day trip in electron orbit round off the Earth !
So there you are . Those are some of the possibility and ideas about what Christmas might be like in the twenty-first century . All the expert have spent a mickle of time , and done a set of enquiry , attempt to augur exactly how we will be endure in next years .
But for all the knowledge and science that we have all anyone can do is prognosticate . No one recognise exactly what day-by-day life will be like in the next one C .
But let ’s hope that all that ’s good about our traditional Christmas will abide , and that it will still be the same fete of felicity and goodwill that it is today .
