There will be changes in our food, too.More land will be used for building new towns and houses.Then there will be less room for cows and sheep, so meat will be more expensive.Maybe no one will eat it every day; instead they eat more vegetables and fruit.In this way people will be healthier.

Work in the future will be different, too.Robots will do dangerous and hard work.Because of this, many people will not have enough work to do.This will be a problem.
