that in many countries people wil get taller. We
willalso get heavier. Tis is because we're eating
more junk food and exercising less. However, we
may not have to diet in the future, Scientists are
‘working on a device to break down fat with
ultrasound. Let's hope!

Online...all the time Before long, we'll
al be on the Web — all the time. Everything,

glasses, will contain devices that connect us to
the Internet. For example, with tiny cameras

Automated homes The technology is already
here, but by the 20305 most homes will be fully
“automated.” With computer chips in most
appliances, you'll be able to tur on the heat or
the lights just by making a phone call home.
Scanners in your "smart" refrigerator wil read

road space in advance, and pay road charges.

More brain power? Scientists say they be
able to build a computer that is like a human

will do many jobs that humans do today. Road
travel should become safer because cars will
