The Life in the Future

What do you think the life in the future will be like?

In the future there will be computers in our homes. Computers will help us to know a lot over the world. We will be able to talk by e-mail. Scientists will make many robots. Robots can help us to do some cleaning, do some cooking or do some washing. We can do some shopping and see a doctor without going out of our homes.
