Little boxes
In recent years there have been many predictions about what our houses will be like in the future. Some experts think we
will all live in boxes; others think we may actually live on the moon or another planet! Two things are clear. We will use
power from the sun, wind or sea and computers will control everything in our lives and especially in our homes.
Every house will have devices to change energy from natural sources into power, and we’ll build houses that can use
this power efficiently. Computers will open and close doors to allow people to come in and out and they will make sure
the house and the people in it are safe. They will switch on the lights when we go into different rooms or switch on
gadgets when we ask them to. They will know when the fridge is empty and order food automatically. They will even
tell us who has visited the house while we were out and at what times!
Rooms will be smaller than today but furniture like beds, tables and chairs will come out of the floors and walls when
we want to use them. Again, the computer will do this for us.
Some experts predict that computers will control the entire world in the future, so perhaps they might decide to shut us
in our little boxes forever! There’s a thought.

Are the sentences true or false?

1 We may live on the moon in the future. ___
2 Our energy will come from oil. ___
3 Our houses will have no doors. ___
4 We will order our shopping on the computer. ___
