Interviewer: Hello Doctor Claus, thanks for coming to our Radio program Who
knows it all?
Doctor Claus: Thank you for having me here.
Interviewer: Doctor Claus as we all know, you are an expert on technology, what
do you think is going to happen with transportation in 10 years?
Doctor Claus: Well I think in 10 years there are going to be flying cars
everywhere, as the current cars are not going to be enough for the growing
population.
Interviewer: What about the airplanes though?
Doctor Claus: Well probably helicopters are going to be quite cheap; its going
to be like buying a new car.
Doctor Claus: Well I think that in a few years there are going to be intelligent
robots that are going to do all the house chores, so well just sit around and relax
while they clean the house. Also new technologies will be invented to reduce
global warming, such as eco-friendly alternatives for transportation and for the
industry.
Interviewer: Thank you Doctor, its been quite interesting for all the audience, we
hope to have you here again in 10 years.
Example / Ejemplo:
In my opinion, in 10 years there are not going to be flying cars I think this is going
to be sooner because the technology is going so fast, besides, I consider people
are not going to have helicopters that easy because they are so expensive.
However, I really think rich people are going to be able to travel to Mars on
vacations. Finally, I think that the rich countries such us United States are not
going to have water because they dont take care about the natural resources.
