What will our life be like in 50 years?No one knows the answer,but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today.My brother Jim Green makes some predictions.Here are some of
his ideas.
First,people will have less work to do,and robots will do most work.People will use robots to make cars,do the housework,look after sick people and teach students.People will spend most of their time playing sports and traveling.So people will be stronger and healthier,and they will live to be about 200.
Second,cars will become very small and computers will control their speed.So there will be fewer accidents on the road.Rockets will be very popular,and most people would like to take them to travel.
Third,people will be able to live in the sea,on the moon or on Mars.The earth won't be crowded or noisy.So there will be much space for people to plant trees.There will be less pollution,and the air will become much fresher.
Finally,water shortage will become one of the most serious problems.If people don't save water now,there will be water wars in 50 years.

What will the world be like if an empty car can drive itself?Imagine seeing a car full of
passengers who are reading,listening to music or even sleeping.But none of them in it are worried about the road ahead.
Well,this could be the future of driving.There are several companies,including Google,working on driverless cars.So far,no Google self-driven cars have gotten a traffic ticket,but some of them have been in accidents when other cars hit them.These cars are now still in the testing stages(阶段).But,if the tests are successful,these electric self-driven cars could be put into use very soon.
The cars are so special that they can take the place of drivers.They are able to park,or slow down when they notice objects close by.They can also control the speed if there is danger.
However,some people don't like the idea.American lawyer.Whit Drake does not believe these cars are safe.He thinks that technologies can also be mistakes.
