Welcome to Share Ideas! I'm Tony Brown. This is Professor Lin. He is a scientist. He has many exciting ideas about life in the future. Let's listen to what he has to say.

"I think in the future, traveling will be much cleaner and safer. Most cars will run on solar energy. That way, there will be less pollution. Those cars will be driven by computers and there won't be an accident. All of the computers will work together with radio signals."

"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 The telephones that we have today will seem out of date."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.
