Driverless cars are another important invention. Instead of driving, car owners will tell the car where to go and then they can get into the car with some work or even having a sleep.
“There will be new vegetables by 2050. Lab-grown burgers will be as normal as today’s burgers. A rapid growth of the population will drive (驱动) changes to food production,” the scientists said today.
3D printers will be common in every family. Most of the simple things will be easily printed at home. The printer will be filled up with different materials. Then the magic materials will create the things you need.
Brain research allows the complete understanding and recording of dreams. They can then be reviewed and quickly studied. Besides, a computer can give right directions during the night. So your brain will stay away from dreaming something terrible.
As a result of the fast population growth, mushroom (快速发展的) cities have been showing up all around the world. These cities, usually built to support 2—5 million people, can be built in just a few years.
