Someday in the future we may not need to have money in our pockets. Is life easier when people don’t need to carry any money at all? Is money heavy to carry? Is it safe to carry money?

Of course we may still have some of the same problems with cards we now have with money. For example, we lose money from time to time. Maybe we will lose the cards. Maybe someone will take the cards.

Is there something easier to use than credit cards? Each of us has a thumbprint(拇指指纹). No two thumbprints are the same. Maybe someday the government will keep people’s thumbprints with a number. When you want to buy something, you will put your thumb on a machine or a computer. Each store or business willpossesone. Everyone’s thumbprints will be in the computer.

The life in 50 years

What will our life be like in 50 years? No one knows the answer exactly, but we are sure that it will be very different from the life today. My brother Jill White makes some predictions. Here are some of his ideas.

First, people will have less work to do, and robots will do most work. People will use robots to make cars, do the housework, look after sick people and teach students. People will spend most of their time playing sports and traveling. So people will become stronger and healthier,and they will live to be about 200 years old.

Second, cars will become very small and computers will control their speed. So there will be fewer accidents on the road. Planes will be very popular,and most people would like to take them to travel.

Third, people will be able to live in the sea, on the moon or on Mars. The earth won't be crowded or noisy. So there will be much space for people to plant trees. There will be less pollution, and the air will become much fresher.

Finally, water shortage will become one of the most serious problems. If people don't save water now, there will be water wars(战争)in 50 years.

Do you have a smart phone or a computer? If so, there is a good way for you to learn English: listening to podcasts(播客).

Podcasts are made by people all over the world. You can find them easily on the Internet. There are all kinds of podcasts. Some are about music. Some are about interesting stories. Some are about language learning. Fortunately(幸运的),the podcasts are free, so you can choose what you are interested in and keep listening. The other advantage of listening to podcasts is that you can do it almost at any time. You can do it when you are walking to school, or when you are running on the playground.
