READING COMPREHENSION
1. Transport. How will people travel in the future? Some experts think that the traveller will get
into the car and tell the car computer where to go. The computer will then drive the car along a road
at a speed of 200 kilometers an hour. The computer will also sense other cars on the road, so cars
won´t hit one another. Cars will run on new, clean fuels, so they won´t affect the environment.
2. Television. The television on the future will show pictures in three dimensions, this means that
we are going to see all the sides of an object through holograms, and in some years we will be able
to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television. Smart TVs will show what the viewers
want to see. Today we can also use the word wide web to red newspaper with photographs from
thousands of kilometers away. Music, films, programmers and books can come to us through
computers as well. What other changes will we see in the field of entertainment and
communication?
3. Schools. School of the future will be open twelve months a year, twenty four hours a day with
students coming and going at any time without fixed timetables. Classrooms are going to have a
computer at every desk. Some experts say that books are going to disappear. So students will get
information by asking a computer and it will return information in CDs, sounds and words. Even
more. Others think that students will be able to get an education at home and that they are going to
receive information from school and send their work back through computers.
Will schools and offices disappear in the future? Probably not, people enjoy working together.
