With the development of technology and economy, great changes may take place to the life in the future. Advanced technology enables people to enjoy all kinds of modern conveniences. For example robots could be widely used in the world to help people do some tasks to ease their stress. People in the workforce will have more time to relax themselves. In addition, ordinary people may have the chance to travel around the space. However, hi-tech is also a double-edged sword. For instance, the climate change will lead to the extinction of more wildlife which once thrived. Furthermore, the melting of glaciers and the rising of sea levels will be more complicated by the increase presence of carbon dioxide. The future holds many challenges and many prospects. It is as never far away as what we tend to think. --- by Zhang Jingjing

• With the rapid development of hi-tech, great changes have taken place to the life in the future.

• On one hand, advanced technology enables people to enjoy all kinds of modern conveniences as the equipment is extremely computerized. For example, means of transportation like carriage, is both swift and easy to handle. And the houses that people live in can be intelligent so that people are able to make time efficient.

• On the other hand, there appears lots of problems . Industrial pollution become more and more serious. Air quality is poor as there is little oxygen left. Also, because of the population growth, the traffic becomes so messy that it is difficult to control.

• In a word, hi-tech is a double-edged sword. All of us are supposed to take advantage of it. ----by Rossy
