HOMES IN THE FUTURE
In the future, technology will allow homes to be ‘smart’. There won’t be any housework
to do because everyone might have robot helpers to clean the house and cook the
meals. Automatic fridges will tell you what food to buy. Alarm clocks will read your daily
schedule and know what time you need to get up. Robots will go shopping, look after
the children or drive you to work. Robots will be able to show feelings with their faces,
too. They might smile, make eye contact or speak to you. And computers might even
think like humans. In the future, we might not need to tell computers what to do because
they might decide for themselves. Moreover, space tourism will be a popular type of
holiday in the future. People will go on holiday to the moon or to other planets. I think
that will be a really exciting life.
