    Think about what job you will you be doing in the future. Or will you have lots of jobs?

    How will you get about? Drones? Electric cars? Will we all be living to 110? What diseases will be cured? Maybe we'll have robots helping us around the house? Will we go on holiday to the moon or Mars? What type of gadgets will be using? What type of energy will we be using?

    50 years ago, using the internet everyday and having a mobile phone was unheard of — today we couldn’t live without them. So what will life be like in 50 or even 100 years’ time?

    Media caption,

    Futurologist Rohit Talwar talks about his thoughts on life in the future.

    Scientists everyday are discovering new possibilities - imagine what life will be like and send us your best ideas — we’d like to make them into an animation to showcase later in 2017 as the 91Èȱ¬ discovers tomorrow's world.

    We want to take the best of these and make them into a film for later in the year to showcase as part of the 91Èȱ¬â€™s season of science.
