They can change the world we live in and the way we live, too. They make our lives easier. Here are some technologies that will probably change our lives in the future. Flying cars Space is running out quickly in some crowded cities. When there’s no space left on the roads, it is possible that we will drive cars in the sky.

There could be special devices (设备) that make screens appear on your skin, clothes or other things. These screens could work like touchable phone screens. They might even become a part of what you wear or be put inside your body. So you don’t have to carry a phone all the time, but you will have a screen with you wherever you go. Smart mirrors Now, picture a future where smart mirrors could tell you about your health problems. The only thing you need to do is take a quick look at the mirror. The information it gives could help you care about your health. Also, it could tell you how you’re feeling at the moment. Sounds great, right? No one can know the future.

Nanobots (纳米机器人) will be important. We will use them when we are sick. For example, when we have a stomachache (胃痛), we will swallow (吞下) a nanobot and it will travel through our stomach, taking a video of what’s happening there. It will help the doctor heal (治愈) us.
