—Back to the Future
路?我们要去的地方不需要路。

—Terminator 2: Judgment Day
未知的未来在我眼前展开。面对未来,我生平第一次感到充满了希望。因为如果一台机器,一个终结者,都能懂得人生的价值,或许我们也能。

—The Day After Tomorrow
人类熬过上一次冰河时期,这次也能熬得过来。

★话题时文
Your Daily Life Will Be Very Different in 2030
The world is developing very fast. Important emerging technologies have changed the world, from our daily life to financial business.With the power of technology,
we can build a new and dynamic world. In the following parts, the amazing developments that will shape our world in 2030 are showed in details.
You Won't Have to Drive (or Park) Your Car Yourself
In 2030, there will be lots of driverless cars, operated by a combination of artificial intelligence, very accurate electronic sensors, and advanced mapping and communications button that lets cars “talk” with one another, and also with traffic lights.
You will have the chance to take the wheel yourself and let it take you where you want to go. At your destination, you will exit the vehicle, and it will find a place to park itself. You might even programme it to take a friend to the airport before returning for you.
You Won't Pay in Cash
Paper bills and coins, even the penny, will still be around, but mostly in the field of collection. Checkbooks will also go out of date. Even the use of credit and debit cards will reduce fast by 2030.
Most transactions will be electronic, with your bank account information stored in your mobile smart device, which you can use to pay for goods and services. The financial dealings you will make on mobile devices will be secured by advanced biometrics, such as voice, fingerprints and face recognition.
