                                                    Life in the twenty-first century
     The World Future Society is a group of people from more than 80 countries who are interested in how
modern technology is making our world better, and who write reports about how it will change our lives.
     The things that we will be able to do in the twenty-first century (since the year 2000) should help us live
better lives in many ways, at home and at work, in our own country and around the world. Here are just
some of them, put into five groups.
     People
     People may live for up to 120 years and use new technology to help when people go blind, deaf and
have other problems. The number of people over a hundred years old could go from 135,000 today to 2.2
million people by 2050. By 2015 people think that 100 million workers will be able to work from home for a
company in a different country by using the Internet.
     Money
     Worldwide e-business will become even more successful with online shops that sell special products for
each person, which will be brought to their house the next day.
     Environment
     The technology for making energy from wind and the Sun is growing very quickly. In the future wind
and Sun energy could become much cheaper and many more countries could use it. This would be very
useful in poor countries. The air in big cities would also become much cleaner and healthier as a result.
     Society and culture
     The Internet will help to create more worldwide friendships. Families may spend more time together as
people will be able to do 24-hour online banking and shopping.
     Technology
     The new science of "nanotechnology" (very small robots or machines) will make all sorts of products
smaller and lighter. Very, very small machines could take away rubbish, make things in factories, and help
inside the human body by taking away fat. By 2012 people will be able to wear these small machines that
look like watches, which will give them lots of information about their body and keep them healthy.
1.What does the World Future Society do?
A. Look at how technology will make people happy.
