Pupils From Marlborough College, Roedean, And Chippenham Schools Predict What Life Will Be Like For Them In The Year 2000. With Concerns Ranging From Nuclear Armageddon, Overpopulation, Automation, Battery Farming, And Mass Unemployment, It's Fair To Say That Most Of Them Aren't Especially Optimistic About The Prospect.

Their Answers Were Uncanny...

“Sheep And Cows And Livestock, They Will Be Kept In Batteries, They Won’t Be Allowed To Graze On Pastures, They’ll Be Kept In Buildings All Together.”

“I Don’t Think It’s Going To Be So Nice, All Machines Everywhere, Everyone Doing Everything For You, You’ll Get All Bored, I Don’t Think It Will Be So Nice.”

“People Wouldn’t Be Able To Live In Ordinary Houses, Because That Would Take Up Too Much Room, They’d Have To Be In Flats, Piled On Top Of One Another."

“The Houses Would Be Rather Small And Everything Would Be Very Cramped.”

“I Don’t Think There Is Going To Be Atomic Warfare, But I Think There Is Going To Be All This Automation, People Are Going To Be Out Of Work And A Great Population, And I Think Something Has To Be Done About It."

“If I Wasn’t A Biologist, That’s What I’d Like To Do, To Do Something About The Population Problem, Try And Temper It Somehow, I Don’t Know How.”

Date Aired: December 28th, 1966 From Tomorrow's World
