放眼二十一世纪,未来学的权威们认为将会发生一系列非凡的变化,使今天的世界看起来跟第一批福特汽车问世时一样过时。不管是在家庭、工作场所,还是外层空间,这些变化都将是在几年前看起来不可想像的——能自己寻找停放地点的汽车,能跟人说话的家用设施,轨道工厂,以蛋白细胞为动力的电子计算机,等等。 Looking beyond the 21st century, futurists believe there will be a series of extraordinary changes that will make today's world look as old as when the first Ford Motor Company was introduced. Whether at home, in the workplace, or in outer space, these changes will all seem unthinkable years ago - cars that can find their own place to park, home-speaking facilities, track factories, Cell powered computer, and more.
