Transportation: self-driving cars and the hyperloop will make transportation completely safe, extremely fast and will give us more free time.

Fuel: renewable energy, especially from the ocean will eliminate the need for fossil fuels, so that our environment can recover.

Space exploration and colonization: we may one day take holidays in space or even move to another planet.

AI: It will surpass the capacity of human brains and will incorporate human values. 50% of jobs will disappear (but most likely, many other jobs will be created).

Education: Schools will become completely digital and teachers will be replaced by robots.

The metaverse: We will be able to visit a VR computer generated environment where we can interact with others and do pretty much everything, like shopping, holidays, etc.

Money: cash will disappear.

Real estate: we will live in completely automated smarthomes and will enjoy some amazing technology like smarthome TV’s.

Topic sentence:

We have a responsibility to stay informed about advances in Artificial Intelligence.

Structure

Digital age – Stone Age

AI is the most dominant technology

Having knowledge – turn it from enemy to friend

Examples

Effect on our lives

We have a responsibility to stay informed about advances in Artificial Intelligence. Throughout history, people’s lives have been controlled by the technology of the day, and their survival depended on it. For example, during the Stone Age, men needed to learn how to make tools from stone, so they could hunt and provide for their families. In the Digital Age, AI is rapidly moving from being an emerging technology to being the dominant technology. By staying informed of developments in this field, we can take advantage of opportunities, for example making wise career choices, taking advantages of AI supported investments and learning how AI can help us develop our potential as human beings. In the long run, having this knowledge will not only ensure our survival, but also open the door to a rich, fulfilling life.

The technologies have been developing constantly from the stone age to the digital age.The iteration of tools human-being use happens rapidly.And AI is the most dominant technology among the high-tech stuffs.However,it is one double-edged sword

without doubting,which means it may be able to bring welfare to citizens if it is functioned in one suitable way,instead,it would make the world a worse place.So civilians should have opportunities to have knowledge about that.Thus they may turn the defects of the AI to one pros position.

Home appliances are increasingly becoming sophisticated.

It is fair to say that high-tech home appliances are here to stay.

Most home appliances incorporate some form of computer technology.

These types of appliances are typically found in smarthomes.

This makes life very convenient.

It makes our life less stressful.

We are less likely to forget things, because we get reminders on our phones.

It will improve our quality of life.
