<span class='text_page_counter'>(19)</span> Lesson 1: reading. 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.
