The life in the future will certainly become better and better. However, there will also be some problems.
Firstly, people will have to leave the Earth in the future because the Earth has been seriously polluted. Secondly, people will suffer from terrible lack of water in the future. Water will become expensive goods. Thirdly, the communication between people will become less and they will prefer to talk to pets rather than communicate with people around.
It is time for us to do something to stop these things from happening.
