About 150 years ago, the French writer Jules Verne showed what the future would be like in some of his books. He once said, "Anything one man can imagine, other men can make it come true." Now, let's take a look at the future in the eyes of some scientists.
Underwater cities As the world's population increases, there's less space for us to build houses. So, it's believed that one day we could live underwater. By the year 2050, underwater cities could come out. These underwater buildings will be made of special materials. It is possible for us to make the rooms bigger or smaller. 3-D printed foods Many scientists believe that 3-D dishes will be the future of food. In the future, many kitchens may have a 3-D printer. And the best part is that 3-D printed foods can always have the same tastes as the recipes (配方). Flying cars Heavy traffic is a common problem today, and people have dreamed of flying cars. In the future, flying cars will be as common as bicycles. These flying cars will be something between a helicopter (直升机) and a plane. People will spend less time on traffic, probably cutting a 2-hour taxi ride into a 15-minute one. |
