Read the text carefully then answer the following questions.
We may not be driving around in hover cars or eating tablets instead of tasty food, but in 10 years' time some things will be very different. The four - day working week will certainly be a reality, so we'll have a lot more time for leisure activities. But what else will be different?
If you ask a hundred people to look into the future, you will probably get a hundred answers. But two major themes seem to emerge from almost every prediction made. The first is variety in every aspect of our lives. We'll probably be living in what futurologists have called a 'multi - option society'. You may be married with 2.2 children, but this won't be the norm any more. It will simply be one of a number of choices, along with living in groups and living alone. The other huge influence on our lives will be micro technology - computers and telecommunications. Take work, for instance, factories will be run largely by robots, so they'll be cleaner places for the few people who work in them. Offices, too, will go electronic with the result that paper will almost completely disappear. More people will work from home at computers linked to a head office. Their homes may even be turned into 'electronic cottages', with Mum, Dad and even the children all sharing one or maybe two jobs.
