1 Future predictions

Instructions: Read these 5 predictions about technology in the future and respond by indicating if you
think the prediction is likely or unlikely to happen (true or false). Write 50-75 words for each
prediction using the future form ‘will+ verb’ or ‘won´t+ verb’ to give your opinion.
Instrucciones: lee estas 5 predicciones sobre tecnología futurística y responde indicando si tú piensas que la predicción es
probable o improbable que pase (verdadero o falso). Escribe un mínimo de 50 palabras y máximo de 75 para cada
predicción usando la forma futura ‘will + verb’ o ‘won´t + verb’ para dar tu opinión.

Example

Prediction: In 2070 most university courses will be available online.

Predicción: en 2070, la mayoría de los cursos universitarios estarán disponibles en línea.

Answer: I think this prediction will happen because people will want to
combine their work with their studies. Studying in person at a university won´t
be very convenient for the student or cost effective for the institution. I think
even important universities like the UNAM or UDG will move most of their
programs to online platforms.
Respuesta: creo que esta predicción sucederá porque las personas querrán combinar su
trabajo con sus estudios. Estudiar en persona en una universidad no será muy conveniente
para el estudiante ni rentable para la institución. Creo que incluso universidades importantes
como la UNAM o UDG moverán la mayoría de sus programas a plataformas en línea.

PREDICTIONS
1 Basic computer skills will be taught in
primary schools to very young children.
Computer studies will be an obligatory
subject in all levels of education and
the vast majority of jobs will require
high levels of computer literacy.
2 By the year 2070 artificial intelligence
will be present in most daily activities,
from shopping, to ordering in a
restaurant and customer service calls.
Most homes will have an intelligent
operating system similar to Amazon's
‘Alexa’.
ANSWERS
I believe that this prediction will come to pass, and is
already happening with the evolution of technology we
become more dependent of everyday, making it more
necessary to have an intermediate knowledge of
computer literacy in most jobs.
I agree with this prediction and think it will happen
even sooner than that considering most people
encounter some form of A.I. in their everyday life
anything from SIRI, Cortana, or Alexa. It will become
more common once the price of smart home devices
drops.
3 The rise of computer-controlled I think this prediction will happen, but at a smaller scale
industries and artificial intelligence will over a longer time taking into account that some A.I.
leave many people without a job and cannot imitate humans well yet in some things like arts
global unemployment will rise. (Musicians, painters, sculptors, etc.)

4 There will be an increased threat to our I agree with this prediction and believe it will happen
safety and security due to the rise of much sooner than later, seeing that more and more
hacking, identity theft and dark people are getting involved in this area.
networks involved in cyber-terror.

5 It won't be necessary to learn how to
speak a foreign language because we
will be able to communicate in real
time through sophisticated translation
applications.
I think it won’t happen, at least not in a near future. I
think people will still learn languages and speak them,
especially considering the price of technology of this
kind.

2 My plans after graduation

6 What aren't you going to do next year?
The day I graduate from computer systems engineering, I am going to receive a professional degree and
be grateful for my teachers for their teachings and my family for their support. I am going to celebrate
with a great party, where I open food and drink and I am going to invite my friends and family to
celebrate this great personal achievement.
I am going to work in a government agency in the area of computer systems and I am going to manage
the company's networks and telecommunications, helping to detect and solve faults. If I could not work
there, I would like to work in the computer systems area of a company developing applications and
software for mobile devices and for computers.
The following year in my personal life I will continue with my studies and I will look for better job
