A new report shows what life might be like in 100
years from now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today's
buildings, underwater 'bubble' cities and holidays in space. Th3e report is
from a company. It asked experts(专家) on space and architecture, as well as city planners, to give their
ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be
totally different to how we do these things today. The experts used the
Internet as an example. They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine
how the Internet and smart phones would change
our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate, learn
and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century would be
even more unbelievable.
Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the
prediction(预言) they
thought were most likely(很可能的) to happen in the future.
They predicted that in the future, few people will go to an office but will
work from home and have work meetings online. People will have highly developed
3-D printers that will let you download(下载) a design
for furniture or a food recipe and then 'print' the sofa, table or pizza at
home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We will all have a
home health instrument that will tell us what the problem is and give us
treatment. We will also be going into space for holidays and to get resources
that we have used up on Earth. A prediction that is missing is whether people
will need to study English.
