AI is able to understand and manipulate (v. 控制；操纵) data so much faster that it can help us to spot patterns more quickly. Thus, in the future, AI will help us to solve problems that we consider too complex to solve now. It is already helping us in a wide variety of fields such as medicine and human-to-machine communication. The effect of this is that we can more easily communicate with our devices such as smartphones, and better organise our time. I think in the future many devices will work automatically, like cars will be self-driving and safe, which gives us more time to focus on other important things in life.

These futurists tried to predict the future. Only a few of their predictions were right, and all of them missed something that was just around the corner: the revolution in computers and information technology. The problem was that none of these futurists were scientists or engineers. So, while they knew the future would have more powerful computers, they had no clue what these computers would look like, what they could do, or what impact they would have on our lives. This should make us hesitate before we try to predict the future. Having said that, we can make some good guesses about future technology by looking at current scientific and technological advances. We can also ask the real experts: the scientists and engineers who are bringing us these advances. According to experts, in the future computers will be so common that we may no longer even notice them. Forget smartphones and smart watches-we will have smart clothes that adjust to the weather and our body temperature, and change size to fit our body shape. We will also have smart contact lenses. Using these smart contact lenses, we can access the information and power of computers in a way that far exceeds anything currently possible. Because so much of our daily life will be integrated with computers, virtual reality will become an actual, real reality for many of us. Technology will not just allow us to see a world that is thousands of kilometres away- or which only exists in a computer-but will also allow us to touch and smell that world. This virtual world will at times seem as real as-if not more real than-the actual world around us. Without leaving home, you will be able to take tours of foreign countries, or even get a medical exam by a doctor in another city. 据专家称，未来电脑将变得如此普遍，我们甚至可能不再注意它们。忘掉智能手机和智能手表吧——我们将拥有能够适应天气和体温的智能衣服，并且能够根据我们的体型改变尺寸。我们还将配备智能隐形眼镜。使用这些智能隐形眼镜，我们可以访问的信息和电脑的权力，远远超过目前任何可能的方式。 因为我们日常生活的很多部分将与计算机相结合，虚拟现实将成为我们许多人的现实，真实的现实。科技不仅能让我们看到数千公里之外的世界——或者只存在于计算机中——还能让我们触摸和嗅到那个世界。这个虚拟世界有时会看起来和我们周围的现实世界一样真实——如果不是更真实的话。不用离开家，你就可以去国外旅游，甚至可以在另一个城市接受医生的体检。 Speaking of medicine, through new technology, people who have brain or spinal injuries will be able to find new hope. There is already, for example, technology which will allow blind people to see using cameras and deaf people to hear using microphones that are connected to their brains. Future technology will allow people to overcome all sorts of physical disabilities. Much research is being done to unlock the human mind. Using technology that is being developed now, people in the future may be able to not just read someone else’s mind, but also record their thoughts like one would record a movie. Some other research involves using robotic technology to replace human functions. For example, robot hands are being developed for people who have no hands. These artificial hands are connected to a person’s nerves so that the person’s brain tells the hands what to do. In the future they will work just as well as real human hands. Indeed, they may even be better. Not only can they be made stronger and faster than human hands, but also sturdier so they will not break or get injured as easily. 说到医学，通过新技术，大脑或脊柱受伤的人将能够找到新的希望。例如，现在已经有一种技术可以让盲人通过照相机看到东西，让聋人通过与他们大脑相连的麦克风听到东西。未来的技术将使人们能够克服各种身体残疾。 人们正在做大量的研究来开启人类的思维。使用现在正在开发的技术，未来的人们可能不仅能够读取别人的思想，还能像录制电影一样记录他们的想法。其他一些研究涉及使用机器人技术来替代人类功能。例如，正在为没有手的人开发机器人手。这些人造手与人的神经相连，以便人的大脑告诉手做什么。在未来，它们将像真正的人手一样工作。事实上，它们甚至可能更好。它们不仅可以变得比人类的手更强壮、更快，而且更坚固，因此它们不会像人类的手那样容易折断或受伤。 As a result of such advances, in the future, some people who are badly injured may become more robot than human. That is, their brains will control their robotic body parts so they can live their lives fully without being handicapped. Many new parts will be made to replace human body parts that break down, meaning it may be possible to use this technology to extend our lives long past the time of normal death by old age. These are just a few of the things that are already being explored in science and technology. There will also be advances in transportation and space travel. Of course, there is a lot that we still do not know about the future. Science and technology may provide a road map for the future, but they cannot tell us what we will find along the way. But if we knew everything about the future, then where would the mystery and excitement be? We should all eagerly view the future as a great adventure-a new world waiting to be explored. Who knows exactly what we will find? 由于这些进步，在未来，一些严重受伤的人可能会变得更像机器人而不是人类。也就是说，他们的大脑将控制他们的机器人身体部分，这样他们就可以充分地生活而不致残疾。许多新的部件将被制造出来，以取代人体中坏死的部件，这意味着使用这项技术可能延长我们的寿命，使我们的寿命远远超过正常的老年死亡时间。 这些只是已经在科学和技术中被探索的事物中的一小部分。交通运输和太空旅行也将取得进展。当然，对于未来，我们还有很多不知道的事情。科学和技术可能为未来提供了一张路线图，但它们不能告诉我们在这条路上会发现什么。但是如果我们知道未来的一切，那么神秘和兴奋会在哪里呢？我们都应该热切地把未来看作一次伟大的冒险——一个有待探索的新世界。谁知道我们会发现什么？ Our Greatest Adventure (Simplified) Past attempts to predict the future often failed, missing major ___________ (revolution) like computing.
