A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than

on space and architecture as well as city planners to give their ideas on the life in 2116. They said the way we live and
work and play will be totally different to how we do these things. The experts used the Internet as an example. They said
that 25 years ago people could not imagine how the Internet and smart phones would change our lives. The Internet has
completely changed the way we communicate and do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century
would be even more unbelievable.
Researchers questioned 3000 adults about the prediction (预言) they thought were most likely(很可能的) to happen
in the future. They predicted that in the future few people will go to an office but will work from home and have work
meetings online. People will have highly developed 3-D printers that will let you download (下载) a design for furniture
or a food recipe and then "print" the sofa, table or pizza at home. There will also be less need for visits to the doctor. We
