Communications
About transportation, I think in near future, most important means
of transport will be flying motors, high speed subway….
In the next 30 years, the world would see both great changes brought
about by technology and its bad side. I’m pretty sure that our
grandchildren will have a comfortable life with modern appliances and
houses.
Some of them are robots that can do house work, and
intelligent houses which can change the indoor temperature
automatically. However, people would become more aggressive
and materialistic, which makes the world less hospitable.
In spite of modern technology, human community would face up with
lacking foods and fresh water as agriculture is depreciated and
water pollution becomes more serious. We could only believe in the
development of medicine and science, which makes hopefully can
lengthen human life expectancy.
Another aspect of our lives- communication- would be also incredibly
well-developed with help of internet, satellites and other means, which
make communication faster, easier and more efficient than ever.
In conclusion, people should do everything to protect and keep our
green world better and better.
