The  world  today  is quite  different.  Increases  in  urbanization, technology, work and career specialization (demanding continual collaboration), and demo- graphic  and   cultural diversity  have  created  lifestyles that  intersect  more  with Ridley Scott’s vision than  Grant Wood’s.  In the movie Blade Runner (an adop- tion of Philip K. Dick’s Do Androids Dream  of Electric Sheep), Scott portrays futuristic Los Angeles as simultaneously decaying  and  technologically advanc- ing. Particularly interesting was the city language  portrayed, which was a  mix of Japanese, Spanish, German, and English.  In the film, Chinese,  French, and Korean words  were  also  used  It is not  hard  to imagine  a future  where increased  globalization results  in the blending  not  just of language  but also of  cultural traditions and social mores. As a result,  the world  we live in today  is socially and   technologically compli- cated.  And it is hard  to imagine that  the pace of change  will slow in  the years to come.

今天的世界完全不同。城市化、技术、工作和职业的专业化（需要持续的合作），以及演示图像和文化的多样性，创造了更多的生活方式，与瑞德利·斯科特（Ridley Scott）的愿景比格兰特·伍德（Grant Wood）的观点更具交集性斯科特把未来派洛杉矶描绘成一个同时衰败和科技进步的城市。特别有趣的是描绘的城市语言，它混合了日语、西班牙语、德语和英语。影片中还使用了汉语、法语和韩语词汇。不难想象，未来全球化的加剧不仅会导致语言的融合，也会带来文化传统和社会习俗的融合。因此，我们今天生活的世界是一个社会和技术复杂的世界。很难想象未来几年变革的步伐会放缓。
