Muchas personas están preocupadas por el futuro y lo que depara para la
sociedad; aquí tenemos una entrevista con el doctor Claus, especialista en
cambios sociales.

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; it’s going
to be like buying a new car.
Interviewer: That sounds great, what other advances in technology shall we
expect.
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 we’ll 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, it’s been quite interesting for all the audience,
we hope to have you here again in 10 years.
Doctor Claus: Thank you, of course it would be a pleasure.

In a word document write your opinion about the predictions Doctor Claus
made in the interview. Remember to support your ideas. / En un documento
Word manifieste su opinión acerca de las predicciones que el doctor Claus
realizó. Recuerde argumentar sus ideas.

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 don’t take care about the natural
resources.
