TELEPATHY

MC: Hi everyone. Today, I'll ask some members of the Technology Club to predict
how people will communicate in the future. Let’s meet Minh and Tom.
Minh & Tom: Hi everyone.
MC: Minh and Tom, how do you and your friends keep in contact?
Minh: Well, we mostly text each other. We also send voice messages.
Tom: I often see my friends in person, but sometimes we call via the Internet.
MC: Do you think these ways of communication will still be popular in 50 years?
Tom: Not really. We'll use more advanced ways, like telepathy. We'll pass our
thoughts to another person without talking and...
MC: Hold on. I think only a very few people may have this ability.
Minh: Yes, but in the future, everyone will be able to use telepathy. We'll wear a tiny
device to catch our thoughts and send them to other people.
MC: Cool! But will there be any problems with telepathy?
Tom: Hmm, telepathy devices can “read” one’s mind, so bd people might take
advantage of it to control someone else.
