4. Space- shuttle:

5.Cars

Take work , for instance. Robots will do most of the work in factories , so they will be cleaner places for fewer people to work in them. Offices, too, will go electronic with the result that paper will almost completely disappear. More people will work from home on computers linked to a head office. As for travel, it is likely that space-shuttle technology will be used in normal air travel achieving speeds up to 15,000 kph. Cars will still be with us , but, in stead of petrol, they will run on anything from electricity to methane gas.They will also be fitted with computers to tell us how efficiently we are driving and if there is anything wrong on the road ahead.
