Possible predictions about the technology of the future:
- robots will do more housework and routine jobs
- cars will be driverless
- people will use more smart devices and wearable gadgets
- medicine will become more advanced, and diseases will be treated earlier
- virtual reality will be used for study, work, and entertainment
- artificial intelligence will help people make decisions
- homes will become “smart” and energy-saving
1. Which of them would I welcome?
I would welcome smart homes and advanced medicine because they can make life more comfortable and safer.
2. Which of them do I find rather scary?
I find artificial intelligence and driverless cars rather scary because people may lose control over them.
3. Which of them do I find most likely / unlikely?
I think robots doing more housework and smart devices becoming more common are most likely, because this technology already exists. I think flying cars are unlikely, because they are still too expensive and difficult to use widely.
Report in class:
Our group discussed future technology. We think robots, smart homes, and advanced medicine are the most useful predictions. We would welcome smart homes and better medical technology because they can improve everyday life. Artificial intelligence and driverless cars seem a little scary. The most likely developments are robots in daily life and more smart devices, while flying cars seem unlikely.
