Trang 9What will life be like in the future? Different people have different answers to this
question; some are pessimistic while others optimistic
Things will be much worse than they are nowadays, pessimists say The whole world will experience a period of economic depression Many large corporations will be wiped out and millions of jobs will be lost The security of the earth will be threatened by terrorism as terrorists will become more powerful and more dangerous On the contrary, optimists
believe that life will be far better than it is today We will be living in a much cleaner
environment, breathing fresher air and eating healthier foods We will also be better looked after by a more modern medical system Domestic chores will no longer be a burden thanks
to the inventions of labour- saving devices
For better or worse, it is certain that in the future some things will be very different Developments in micro technology- computers and telecommunication are bound to have a huge influence on various aspects of our lives Take work, for instance Robots will do most
of the work in factories, so they will be cleaner places for fewer people to work with them Offices, too, will go electronic with the result that paper will almost completely disappear More people will work from home o computers linked to a head office As for travel, it is likely that space- shuttle technology will be used in normal air travel achieving speeds of up
to 15,000 kph Cars will still be with us,but, instead of petrol, they will run on anything from electricity to methane gas They will also be fitted with computers to tell us how efficiently
we are driving and if there is anything wrong on the road ahead
Whatever we expect from the future, remember that progress has never moved in straight lines, and history is full of unexpected developments However, we are confident that the future is is our hands, and it is our responsibility to contribute to bettering our own lives
