"I also think that people will be able to go back to the past through a time tunnel. If they do something wrong, they will be able to go back and do it again and try not to make the same mistakes."

"Housework will become much easier because you'll just tell a robot to do it."

"In the future, people will be able to talk with each other on the phone more easily, and you'll be able to see the person you're talking to on the screen of the cell phone. The telephones that we have today will seem out of date."

What do you think life in the future will be like? Send us a letter.
