1.According to the radio host, what problem/challenge such computers will bring
2.Why did he say “cities floating on water are part of the world’s future”
They are worried that such computers would be dangerous
With global warming causing polar(极地的) ice to melt(融化), the sea level rising by many meters is a very realistic prospect.
Tapescripts
Host: On today‘s episode (n.一集;插句,插段;片段)
of “Future Changes”, we talk with two experts(专家;能手) from different fields, Dr Han and Vincent Black, to hear their predictions about the future. First, Dr Han, could you please tell our audience what you do
Dr Han: Certainly. I'm a computer scientist.
Host: And could you please tell us your prediction
Dr Han: Yes, well, I forecast that computers will be
cleverer than us in the future. I think that
people will also be programming computers to
think like humans.
Host: That's very interesting, but aren't you worried
that such computers would be dangerous
Dr Han: Not at all. This is because we'll be programming
them to not think in ways that may harm humans.
In fact, we'll also be creating machines to help
people internally. For example, I think scientists
will put some small intelligent machines, called
nanobots, inside our bodies to increase our
abilities.
Host: Wow! That would make each one of us
superhuman! And Vincent, could you please tell
us about your job
Vincent Black: Certainly. I'm an architect, I design buildings.
Host: And what is your prediction about the buildings
of the future
Vincent Black: It's about the cities of the future, actually.
I believe that cities floating on water are part
of the world's future.
Host: Oh, really What might make us want to do that
Vincent Black: Yes. With global warming causing polar(极地的) ice to melt(融化), the sea level rising by many meters is a very realistic prospect.
Instead of moving people away from the sea,
I think that people could move into housing in cities that float.
Host: That sounds very innovative. Could you
please give us more details
Vincent Black: Sure. Well, I've developed a plan by designing
a city that borrows many ideas from the giant
water lily, a flower that floats on water.
