We will have machines that can copy(复制) everything in the future. Put a cake on the machine and it makes a new one. If the machine is like a fax machine(传真机), we can send food and gifts to our friends easily.
We will have clever robots that work for us, and then bring us useful things and take away our rubbish(垃圾). Now we have to press(按) a key or type a word to make a machine work. But in the future, if we think of something, the machine can make it for us. The machine can understand our ideas.
We will be able to go into computer games and films, and everything will feel real. We will be able to make our homes like forests (森林)or sunny beaches or anything we want. Perhaps, one day we will be able to collect our dreams and put them on DVDs.
