Q3. With technology advancing at the pace it is today, we have to believe that by the end of the century we
won’t be driving our cars around the city. Rather, we will just be sitting on the then historic driver’s seat
and doing some work. While the concept looks futuristic, industrial designer Kubik Petr believes that
nothing seems impossible with modern technology at hand.
Q4. The Kenguru is designed only for the disabled. Previously car manufacturers would design cars for the
disabled but not specifically for them. This Hungarian company is taking it to the next step, the disabled
will be able to open the rear of the car and just roll in the driving position, secure their wheelchair —
without never having to leave their chair.
Q5. Technology certainly offers us innumerable comforts within our world, especially when it comes to
people who have extreme medical conditions and need the help of science and technology to live
comfortably within their everyday lives. The creation of robot limbs allows a person to walk again. The
introduction of synthetic body parts such as a heart pump can help a person to live longer.
Q6. Everyone knows that being a soldier is a dangerous job. Walking through mine fields, deactivating
unexploded bombs or clearing out hostile buildings, for example, are some of the riskiest tasks. What if we
could send robots to do these jobs instead of humans? Then, if something went wrong, we’d only lose the
money it cost to build the robot instead of losing a human life.
Q7. Cutting edge technologies offer the hope for a better world, bringing welcome solutions to everything
from disease to environmental damage. But these same technologies can also bring danger by aiding
criminals and terrorists, invading personal privacy and even potentially creating diseases and damaging the
environment. The more power ful and pervasive technology becomes, the more dangerous it becomes as
well.
