READ THE TEXT AND DO THE TASKS THAT FOLLOW:

What 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 terrorist groups 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

labor – saving devices.

For better or worse, it is certain that in the future some 
things will be very different. Developments in macro 
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 in them. Offices, too, will go electronic with the result 
that paper will almost completely disappear. More people will 
work from home on 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 in our hands, and it is our responsibility to 
contribute to bettering our own lives.
