1 Future predictions

Instructions: Read these 5 predictions about technology in the future and respond by indicating if you
think the prediction is likely or unlikely to happen (true or false). Write 50-75 words for each
prediction using the future form ‘will+ verb’ or ‘won´t+ verb’ to give your opinion.
Instrucciones: lee estas 5 predicciones sobre tecnología futurística y responde indicando si tú piensas que la predicción es
probable o improbable que pase (verdadero o falso). Escribe un mínimo de 50 palabras y máximo de 75 para cada
predicción usando la forma futura ‘will + verb’ o ‘won´t + verb’ para dar tu opinión.

Example

Prediction: In 2070 most university courses will be available online.


Predicción: en 2070, la mayoría de los cursos universitarios estarán disponibles en línea.

Answer: I think this prediction will happen because people will want to
combine their work with their studies. Studying in person at a university won´t
be very convenient for the student or cost effective for the institution. I think
even important universities like the UNAM or UDG will move most of their
programs to online platforms.
Respuesta: creo que esta predicción sucederá porque las personas querrán combinar su
trabajo con sus estudios. Estudiar en persona en una universidad no será muy conveniente
para el estudiante ni rentable para la institución. Creo que incluso universidades importantes
como la UNAM o UDG moverán la mayoría de sus programas a plataformas en línea.
