Here is one possible discussion:

• May be possible: there will be enough food for everyone; people will start colonizing other planets; robots will assist people at home and at work; a lot of people will use flying machines as a means of transport; all the people will be able to speak at least one global language.
• Hardly ever possible: there will be no countries or nations; Earth will be terribly overpopulated; the institution of marriage won’t exist; people will learn to communicate without using languages; there will be no schools and children will be taught at home by means of computers.

Possible arguments: science and technology are developing very fast, so robots, flying machines and online education may become common. At the same time, it is difficult to imagine that countries, nations and schools will disappear completely, because people need traditions, culture and social life.
