The internet will bring big changes to our daily lives in the next twenty years. Changes will come in how we learn, work and even take care of our health.
First, the internet will change the way we study. Every student will be connected to a “smart classroom” that can check our answers in seconds and provide extra exercises just for us.
Second, it will change the way we live at home. Take the kitchen for example: a fridge connected to the web will warn us when the milk is almost finished and even order new milk before we notice.
Finally, the internet will change the way we travel. Cars will drive themselves and warn drivers not to take dangerous roads.
In short, the internet will bring changes to almost everything we do, and we should never take these new tools for granted; we must learn to use them wisely.
Host: Our guest today is Dr Li, a technology expert. Dr Li has studied how the internet will further change our lives in the future.
Dr Li: That’s right. The internet has brought big changes to everyday life. For example, e-learning and mobile payment have changed the way we study and shop. In the future, even more things will
be connected to the internet, so life will continue to change.
Host: Can you give us some examples?
Dr Li: Take health for example. We’ll probably wear small devices all the time, and they’ll check our health and warn us about health problems. With this information, doctors can provide better treatment.

warn sb about...
警告某人某事
Host: Interesting! Will the internet help improve the environment?
Dr Li: Yes! As more things become connected to the internet, our cities will become smart cities. Smart cities will be more eco-friendly than cities today. One of the most important changes will come in energy use. Different devices will communicate and share data with each other. This will help them save energy. For example, smart rubbish bins will automatically tell the smart city network when they are full. This data will allow the rubbish collection company to plan better collection routes.
Host: Will smart cities improve our lives in other ways?
Dr Li: I think the biggest change will be in transport. Our roads will be much safer in the future, and traffic will flow more smoothly. There will be fewer accidents because cars will drive themselves, and they will share data with the smart city network. With this data, traffic lights can change the timing according to the number of cars on the road.
Host: That’s amazing. And will this really be possible?
Dr Li: Yes, it will. We’ve already started doing some of these things!
