A new study showed approximately half of British’s children say robot teachers will replace their teachers within the next 50 years.

A survey of 1,002 children from 8-16 years old revealed 47 percent think high-tech androids will deliver education in the future.

Every family will have robot helpers in their homes after half a century has passed, say three-quarters of the children.

One out of five believes in just five decades people can have a vacation to outer space.

One in ten says the human race will have chance meeting aliens by 2069 and 45 percent are excited to see the invention of hoverboards.

However not all of the answers given are positives, three among four think clean air will not exist in a single city in the future.

Robert Cheesewright, the director of corporate affairs of Smart Energy GB, said to see youth worried about the environment’s condition in the future is miserable.

According to a research conducted by Robert, 22 percent of children said they would like to have fresh drinking water in the next 50 years, while the other 13 percent said they want to see rainforests and 10 percent hoped cities will have clean air.

The research also found 40 percent of participants are worried that polar bears will extinct because of global warming.

Hundreds of thousands of children across the world have participated in climate strike in schools in 2019, calling actions to tackle the issue.
