I. Read the text and highlight the main ideas of each paragraph.

Will life in the future be better, worse or the same as now? What do you hope about the
future? Futurologists predict that life will probably be very different in 2050 in all the fields of
activity, from entertainment to technology.

- It seems that TV channels will have disappeared by 2050. Instead, people will
choose a programme from a 'menu' and a computer will send the programme
directly to the television. Today, we can use the World Wide Web to read newspaper
stories and see pictures on a computer thousands of kilometers away. By 2050, music, films,
programmes, newspapers and books will come to us by computer. Then, 'Holographic
Feedback TV' will have arrived: holograms are pictures that have height, width and depth.
Simple holograms exist today and 'virtual reality' games are already popular. By 2050, we will
be able to see, smell and touch the things that we see on television.

- Water will have become one of our most serious problems. In many
places, agriculture is changing, and they are growing fruit and
vegetables to export. This uses a lot of water. Demand for water will
increase ten times between now and 2050 and there could be serious
shortages. Some futurologists predict that water could be the cause of war if we don't act
now.

- Cars will run on new, clean fuels and they will go very fast. Cars will have
computers to control the speed of the car and there won't be any accidents.
Today, many cars have computers that tell drivers exactly where they are.
By 2050, the computer will control the car and drive it to your destination. On the other hand,
space planes will take people halfway around the world in two hours. Nowadays, the United
States Shuttle can go into space and land on Earth again. By 2050, space planes will fly all
over the world and people will fly from Los Angeles to Tokyo in just two hours.

- Robots will have replaced people in factories. Many factories already

use robots. Big companies prefer robots- they do not ask for pay rises or
go on strike, and they work 24 hours a day. By 2050, we will see robots
everywhere- in factories, schools, offices, hospitals, shops and homes.

- Medicine technology will have conquered many diseases. Today, there

are electronic devices that connect directly to the brain to help people
hear. By 2050, we will be able to help blind and deaf people see again and
hear again. Scientists have discovered how to control genes. They have already produced
clones of animals. By 2050, scientists will be able to produce clones of people and decide
how they look, how they behave and how much intelligence they have. Scientists will be
able to do these things - but should they?.
