日本《读卖新闻》前不久组织了一批学者和专家,围绕下个世纪的100年展开讨论,其中有诺贝尔奖获得者、筑波大学校长江崎玲于奈、小说家井上厦、外交战略家冈崎久彦以及教授学者十多人。他们从自身的职业出发,对下个世纪的一百年将会出现的种种现象做出各种预测。江崎预言,在下个世纪中,教育的作用将会愈来愈显著,从美国的数据看,教授、科学家以及律师的人数愈来愈多,目前占美国前30位最多的就职人口中高知能职业占了12位,而在本世纪初的1900年,工人、农民占了就职人口的大多数。教授、科学家、律师等受过高等教育的就职人口几乎安全被排列在30个最多就职职位之外。到了下个世纪,接受高等教育的就职人口将会进一步提高。从目前电脑的普及的上升率来看,江崎所言的这一就业现象无疑将会在下个世纪愈来愈突出。电脑的普及也会带来教育的普及,加上资讯业愈来愈发达,知识分子的人口,尤其是掌握专业知识的人才会愈来愈多。江崎还从人的寿命的延长,预言生命科学技术将会在下个世纪有很大的发展。寿命延长之后,健康愈来愈重要,人们将会愈来愈重视脑以及遗传因子的研究。在物理学领域“核融合”科学在下个世纪会成为最大的研究课题。随着经济的发展,人类对能源的需求愈来愈高,科学家将 Not long ago Japan's Yomiuri Shimbun organized a group of scholars and experts to discuss the issue around the 100 years of the next century. Among them, Nobel Prize winners, Tsukuba University president Ezaki Ezaki, novelist Inoue Ebisu, diplomatic strategist Okazaki long Yan and professors and scholars more than 10 people. From their own careers, they make various forecasts of the phenomena that will occur in the next century and century. Ezaki predicted that the role of education will become increasingly significant in the next century. According to data from the United States, there are more and more professors, scientists and lawyers, and currently occupy the top 30 intellectuals in employment in the United States Accounting for 12, while in the early 1900s workers and peasants accounted for the majority of the employed population. The highly educated employed professions, such as professors, scientists and lawyers, are ranked almost safely out of the 30 largest in-service posts. By the next century, the employed population with higher education will further increase. Judging from the current rate of increase in the popularity of computers, the employment phenomenon Jiang Jiang said will undoubtedly become more prominent in the next century. The popularization of computers will also bring about the popularization of education. In addition, as the information industry becomes more and more developed, the population of intellectuals, especially those with specialized knowledge, will grow more and more. Ezaki also extend the life expectancy of people, predicting that life science and technology will have a great development in the next century. After life expectancy, health is more and more important, people will pay more and more attention to brain and genetic factors. In the field of physics, “nuclear fusion” science will become the largest research topic in the next century. With the economic development, the human demand for energy is getting higher and higher, scientists will
