A new age is coming. Call it what you will: the service economy, the information age, the knowledge society. It all translates to a fundamental change in the way we work. Already we’re partly there, the percentage of people who earn their living by making things has fallen dramatically in the Western World. Today the majority of jobs in America, Europe and Japan are in the service industry, and the number is on the rise. More women are in the work force than ever before. There are more part-time jobs. More people are self-employed. But the range of
the economic transformation can’t be measured by numbers alone, because it also is giving rise to important new way of thinking about the nature of work itself. Long-held ideas about jobs and careers, the skills needed to succeed, even the relation between individuals and employers — all these are being challenged.
We have only to look behind us to get some sense of what may lie ahead. No one looking ahead 20 years possibly could have foreseen the ways in which a single invention, the chip, would transform our world thanks to its applications in personal computers, digital communications and factory robots. Tomorrow’s achievements in biotechnology, artificial intelligence or even some still unimagined technology could produce a similar wave of dramatic changes. But one thing is certain: information and knowledge will become even more valid, and the people who possess it, whether they work in manufacturing or services, will have the advantage and produce the wealth. Computer knowledge will become as basic a requirement as the ability to read and write. The ability to solve problems by applying information instead of performing routine tasks will be valued above all else. If you cast your mind ahead 10 years, information service will be superior. It will be the way you do your job.

| As for daily life, I think that we will be able to 1 most of our shopping by 2 and this will be taken to our homes, so 3 there won't be any 4 to go out to the 5 .I'm sure that most of our homes will have a video 6 so we will be able to 7 the person we are talking to. We will also be 8 holovision which will give you three dimensional ( 三维的 ) life -size picture 9 your screen-this will replace television. 10 important technology, there will be no more road accidents. Cars will be guided by computers so people will not have to do any more driving. I think most of our food will be in the form of pills and liquids which will have all the vitamins and protein(蛋白质 ) 11 we need for a balanced diet. Only when we go out for social 12 will we eat the same food as today, but we will 13 be eating meat. About once a year our bodies will go into a health center for a service in much the same way as a car 14 be repaired. So, for example, our veins( 静脉 ) will be cleaned out, our blood made pure, our muscles built up and so on. Any part that is 15 could be replaced by a new plastic part. We will all be much 16 by then anyway, because there will be more 17 for us to use for exercise. Also a safe medicine will have been discovered which will allow people to lose or put on 18 as they need. One exciting development will be the possibility of being deep frozen 19 . A period of time and then 20 some years later. I would be interested in that myself. | ||||
