4. CASESTUDYReading Comprehension

A Day in Your Life 2020

What are two ways that technology will probably change your life in the next 20-25 years??

People used to know more or less how their children would live. Now things changing so quickly that we don't

even know what our own lives will be like in a few years. What follows is not science fiction. It's how experts

see the future.

You are daydreaming behind the wheel of your car, but that's OK. You have it on automatic pilot, and with its

high-tech computers and cameras, your car "Knows" how to get you home safety.

You're hungry, so you head for the kitchen as soon as you get home. You ordered groceries by computer an

hour ago, and you know that by now they've arrived. Your kitchen has a twoway refrigerator, which opens to

the outside to accept deliveries. You've already paid for the food by having the money subtracted from your

bank account. Nobody uses cash any more.

What's for lunch? In the old days, you used to stop off to buy a hamburger or pizza. Now you use yourdiagnostic machine to find out which foods your body needs. You find out you need more vegetables and less

fat. Your food- preparation machine makes you a salad.

After lunch, you go down the hall to your home office. Here you have everything you need for doing your

work. Thanks to your information screen and your new computer, you almost never go into the office

anymore.

The information screen shows an urgent message from a co-worker in Brazil. You set the screen to translate

Portuguese into English. As you wait, you think about later, when you'll have a movie transmitted. What movie

should you order tonight?
