What’s going to happen in the future? Will robots control our planet? Will computers become smarter than us? Not likely. But here are some things that scientists say are most likely to happen in 10 to 30 years from now,according to the BBC.
Digital money |
We used to pay with cash (现金）for everything we bought. Now when we use a credit card(信用卡）to shop online,money is spent without us seeing it. That means we have already been using digital money. Using a card is much easier than searching our pockets for change. It is also safer than carrying a lot of cash.
When ATM cards were first introduced,they were not accepted everywhere. But now it’s hard to live without them. It’s reported that people inSwedencompletely stopped using cash last year,and theUSmight be the next.
Bionic(仿生的）eye
It’s no longer something only in a science fiction movie. People who are blind may have a
chance to get their sight back一by wearing bionic eyes.
A blind eye can no longer sense light,but a bionic eye can use a camera to “ see ” the environment and send data(数据）to the mind. Now the bionic eye only allows patients to see lights and unclear shapes. A high resolution(分辨率）image could be just a few years away.
Self-driving cars
Unlike a human driver,a self-driving car won’t get distracted(分神）by a phone call,the radio or something outside the window. Sensors (探测器）and cameras on the car would help it stick strictly to the rules of the road and keep a safe distance from other cars. This would greatly reduce the number of road accidents. You could even take a nap while the car drives itself. In the future,driverless cars would be widely accepted.

Wood-block printing was invented sometime between the 4th and the 7th c 1 in China. The earliest book that we have was p 2 in 868 and was found in a Dunhuang cave. Wood-block printing took a long time because a new block was needed for every p 3 in a book. By the 11th century，printed books could be f 4 all over China. They included books of Confucius’ thoughts,dictionaries,and books on maths. In 1340,books could be printed with two c 5 , black and red.
A 6 the Chinese learnt about printing so early,printing was not introduced to other parts of the world for hundreds of years. It is thought that when the great Italian traveler Marco Polo visited China in the 13th century,he s 7 printed books. It is possible that Marco Polo brought that k 8 to Europe. But printed books did not come to Europe u 9 1450,when a German called
Johann Gutenberg i 10 a printing machine. Twenty-four years later,in 1474,an Englishman called William Caxton printed the first printed book in English. His second book was about the game of chess. Caxton printed about a hundred books,and some can still be found today in museums.
