CITES OF THE FUTURE

In the future, cities won't be as we know them. They will be very different. First, they will be bigger than they are today because all the people who live in small towns will move to the city, so small towns will no longer exist.

We won't have most of the things we can find today in the cities. For example, there won't be any supermarkets. We will do the shopping in Internet. We will buy everything we need to eat with a computer, and robots will deliver all the things we buy.

Internet will be very cheap and there will be computers in all the houses. Robots will do most of the hard work, so we will work from home with our computers. Factories, offices or banks will not exist.

Cars and buses will be more efficient and they won't pollute because they will be electric and they won't consume petrol. Some of them will fly, so we will travel very fast.
