5. How might technological advances change transport in the future?
Well, I think that the first thing that will change is the form of energy we use to power cars
and buses. There is no doubt that petrol will be replaced by electricity or solar or
hydrogen energy. In addition, flying will become more popular for sure. And in the future, we can
imagine that our children might get to travel in small, environmentally-friendly rockets. It’s quite
likely that researchers will come up with new machines. It’s only a matter of time.
6. What might be the social effects of people working very long hours?
Well, I can guess that if people work long hours, they will be tired and most likely stressed.
They might not feel like going out with their relatives, or hanging out with their friends after work.
I suppose that, if they work too much, people might just go home and
watch TV, or go online. That means they won’t socialize much, and this will have an impact on
people’s relationships. I guess that if a husband is always tired or grumpy because he works too
much, divorces might happen more frequently. Work habits can definitely
influence the whole society.
