My phone Best Wishes -De-Khalid Habib Allahu Al- March 2001- The Future of Technology Large companies such as British Telecom employ futurologists to predict social and technological developments. These predictions help companies to prepare for the future. It is very hard to predict future developments in technology with any certainty. However, we can look at today's technology and imagine how it might develop. Here are some possibilities. It is likely that intelligent machines such as robots will be used more than they are now. One possible area is surgery in hospitals. In some situations, computer-controlled robot arms can already work more accurately than a surgeon's hand. Intelligent machines can also be used in telemedicine. This means that doctors can help patients at a distance, even in different countries. Nanotechnology (technology using tiny parts) can already make machines that are small enough to be injected into the body. These tiny machines can deliver medical drugs to the correct place in the body. They can also destroy something that is causing a problem. These manobots (tiny robots) are not in practical use yet, but they may be soon. In transport, many cars now have satellite navigation, and this may become standard in all cars. The most modem sat nav devices can provide information about road and traffic conditions too. As this becomes more common, it may reduce problems and hold-ups on busy roads. Governments may even require that all cars have these devices. In the distant future road vehicles may come under computer control on main roads. The computer controls will ensure safe speeds and prevent crashes. In all branches of technology computers will be very important. These future computers will be faster and more powerful than today's. This will allow new devices and new technologies to be invented. We have already seen examples of this: CAD-CAM car manufacture and wireless telecommunications were made possible by increased computer power and speed. Unfortunately, not all new applications will be good for society, Computer crime, such as identity theft, will continue. As more of our personal information is stored and transmitted clectronically, hackers and other criminals will try harder to steal it. Military use of computer technology will increase. Governments around the world are already spending large amounts of money on computer applications to make military activity more efficient 1/ Answer the questions about the text 1.
