In my opinion, technology will
continue to bring both positive and
negative changes to our lives. Most
people will be connected to the
Internet at home so more of them will
be able to work from home. They
won't have to travel to their offices
every day. This will reduce the
amount of traffic on the roads, which
will reduce pollution. On the negative
side, life will also get faster and
people will get even more stressed. I
hope that we’ll find a way of dealing
with this stress and be able to live
with technology in a healthier way.
