Do you think that you will have computers which are 1,000 times more intelligent than Albert Einstein, one of the smartest scientists ever in the world? Yes! All these may happen in 20 years or more. In the next 20 or 30 years, the world will change much faster than ever before because the change of science and technology will be simply breathtaking. Computers will have human personalities, as well as the ability to understand words and what you mean when you speak to them. Tomorrow’s computer will be so developed that it can have a face-to-face chat with you like an old friend. In fact, you don’t even have to speak to it. Just like a friend, the computer will also have the ability to understand your thoughts. However, will computers take over the world? Probably not. Because people will also get superhuman abilities. They may never die. “Unless a person is unlucky enough to die early from an accident or a disease, he has a good chance of not dying at all. Genetics(基因学) will make this possible,” says Pearson, a British futurologist as well as a trained physicist. Recently there have been many reports about discovering the code of the human genome which decides many facts of heredity(遗传). This finding will make it possible to repair damage(修复损伤) caused by age and disease, keeping people young forever. Besides, if people suddenly die, it would be possible to recreate them with the help of genetics. So we have the reason to believe, with the development of genetic engineering and computer science technology, human beings will have superhuman abilities and the possibility of being young and alive forever. While at the same time, computers will be much more intelligent than we can imagine. Then who will control(控制) the world? ( )16. The writer talks about Albert Einstein to make it clear that ______.
