Welcome to your future life!
You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. Your face is young-looking. In 2045, medical technology(科技) is better than ever. Many people of your age could live to be 150, so at 40, you're not old at all. And your parents just had an anti-aging treatment(抗衰老的治疗). Now, all three of you look the same age!
You say to your shirt, "Turn red." It changes from blue to red. In 2045, "smart clothes" have particles(粒子) much smaller than the cells(细胞) in your body. The particles can be programmed to change the colors of your clothes.
You walk into the kitchen. You pick up the milk, but a voice says, "You shouldn't drink that!" Your fridge has read the chip(芯片) so it has some information about the milk, and it knows the milk is bad, In 2045, every article of food in the store has such a chip.
It's time to go to work. In 2045, cars drive themselves. Just tell your "smart car" where to go. On the way, you can call a friend using your jacket sleeve(袖子). Such "smart technology" is all around you.
So will all these things come true? "For new technology to succeed," says scientist Andrew Zolli, "it has to be so much better that it replaces what we have already." The Internet is one example. What will be the next?
