​Future Continuous
Future Perfect

​According to researcher Cadell Last from the Global Brain Institute, a completely new type of human will have evolved by 2050. We will be living much longer on average – perhaps to the age of 120. And we will be enjoying our old age much more because even when we are 90 or 100, we will be leading active lives. Mr Last believes that, by the middle of this century, scientists will have invented  robots that can do most tasks, so humans won’t be doing boring housework or repetitive jobs. Instead, they will be spending more time living in virtual reality. But not everybody agrees with Mr Last’s vision. Some scientists think that even by the end of the century, humans won’t have changed very much.
