In fact, so is including smartphones, tablets, computers, televisions and giant screens around the city, it is always possible to access information that may be of interest to us!

The less fortunate of our populations, such as those in the third world, survive thanks to prepackaged foods and precooked. The industrial revolution led to the development of canned foods, which nowadays have spread more and more, making the daily life in the kitchen totally different compared to that of once!

6. the Robot will not work very well, but there are

4. the workforce will be robotic machines and mans task will be to develop them and make them work


Asimov has basically translated what happens inside of industries nowadays: machinery, man-made, are operated by the workers! It is precisely in this way that work the Assembly lines, and many other types of company in all areas!

3. transport will try to avoid the dispersal of energy in the friction with the ground, and then the aircraft will be the most used, but also suspended trains will travel


The planes are actually one of the most used: hundreds of thousands of people every day takes the plane, either to make short trips within the country that long journeys from one side to the other of the globe. In addition, the generation travel trains actually suspended, thanks to magnetic levitation!
