A
Welcome to your future life
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror.Your face is younglooking.In 2035,medical technology is better than ever.Many people could live to be 150,so at 40,you're not old at all.And your parents could have an antiaging treatment.Now,all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt,“Turn red.”It changes from blue to red.In 2035,“smart clothes” contain particles (粒子) much smaller than the cells in your body.The particles can be programmed to change your clothes' colour or pattern.
You walk into the kitchen.You pick up the milk,but a voice says,“You shouldn't drink that!”Your fridge has read the chip (芯片) that contains information about the milk,and it knows the milk is bad.In 2035,every kind of food in the grocery store has such a chip.
It's time to go to work.In 2035,cars drive themselves.Just tell your “smart car” where to go.On the way,you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve.Such “smart technology” is all around you.
So will all these things come true?“For new technology to succeed,”says a scientist called Andrew Zolli,“it has to be so much better that it replaces what we already have.”The Internet is one example—what will be the next?
