In my work as a counsellor, I’m already seeing a huge increase in the number of victims of cyber bullying
on social network sites and this is a trend that can only get worse. To deal with bullying or other problems
that can occur online, social networking counsellors will support people in their cyber relationships using
the same counselling skills we use today. The only difference is that, because we’ll be online, it’ll be
easier for people to contact us when they need us – in the evenings, for example. This may mean that
we’ll have to change our working patterns and work out of office hours.

I work as a robotics engineer for a company that makes robots to perform operations in hospitals. Robots
are increasingly being used in this field, and it’s a trend that’ll continue to grow. We’ll eventually get to a
point where all operations are performed by robots, as they’re perfect for doing highly skilled work.
Building robots is slowly becoming more affordable. This means that routine operations like heart surgery
will be cheaper in the future because highly skilled, highly paid surgeons won’t be needed as much. This
will be good news for patients who are waiting for operations.

The company I work for is currently developing spaceships for leisure space travel. We aim to have six
spaceships taking people on trips into space, each able to carry six passengers. I’m working as a test
pilot at the moment, but eventually my role will be to recruit airline pilots and train them in the skills they’ll
need to become spaceship pilots. We’re expecting there to be a lot of public interest in our service, even
though it’ll only be something very wealthy individuals can afford. But it’ll be the experience of a lifetime
and something a lot of people will be willing to pay for.

We’ve been operating virtually for a few years now and it’s a trend that’s likely to continue across the
globe. We have a team of virtual lawyers, all specialising in employment law, who just charge for their
advice, without adding on costs for expensive office rents and other expenses. Already, we’ve made
legal services more affordable for people. Being accessible on the internet has encouraged people to
contact us who before wouldn’t have considered hiring a lawyer. So I can see that, instead of spending
most of my time with clients from the banking industry, I’ll be dealing with people from all sorts of
companies.
