Predictions

Read the texts and say what future technologies they tell about.

1 I believe that in 2100 we will use special machines for travelling and that they will help us live without traffic jams. These machines won`t need petrol to run so our planet will become a cleaner and better place live in!

2 The world is getting more populated. I believe that in the foreseeable future we will be able to grow plants and do farming somewhere else. For example, we will live in underground houses and eat canned food. I also believe that some of us will live underwater and use mini-submarines that will transport us to schools, shops and other public places.

3 I know that on our planet there are unusual places where anyone can experience living like the Eskimos or aboriginals, for example. Somewhere in the jungles or in the North Pole. I believe that in the future we will be able to travel to the moon, live in the hotels there and eat special cosmic food.
