LESSON THIRTEEN

NEW TECHNOLOGIES

1. FUTURE TRENDS
A. The trends in new technologies are artificial Intelligence, robotic process, edge
computing, cybersecurity, blockchain, internet of things.
B. 1-b
2-a
3-c
4-e
5-d

C. 1. Nanometer.
2. Advantages of nanotubes: they are more flexible, resistant and durable than ordinary

materials.
3.Doctors will use expert systems to diagnose illnesses.
4.The characteristics analyzed by biometrics are fingerprints, facial features, voice, iris
and retinal patterns.
5. In the future people will interact naturally with hundreds of these smart devices every

day, each invisibly embedded in our environment and communicating with each ther
without cables.
6.The alarm system turns on the lights in home and then send a text message to the
owner's phone.
7. All home devices will be interconnected over a home area network where phones,
cable services, home cinemas, touch screens, smart mirrors and even the refrigerator
will cooperate to make our lives more comfortable.

D. 1.Nanobot
2.ASIMO , expert systems
3.Biometrics
4.Embedded
5.Smart home, appliances

2.
A. b. A technology that uses radio waves and chip-equipped tags to automatically identify
people or things
B. 1. RFID stands for
a.Radio Frequency Identification

2.Radio tags
b.can be attached to or embedded into products, animals and humans.

3. Active RFID tags

a. have a communication range of several hundred metres.

4. RFID chips
a. will help us track ordinary objects like car keys or books

5. Radio tags may be implanted under the skin

b. to give doctors’ istant access to a patient’s medical history.

6. According to consumer organizations, RFID tags

a. could be used to track consumers or to steal a person’s identity.

C. I agree with the use of RFID because they are secure and make people's lives easier. With their
help we can control the products in the store so that they can be stolen or even anything. With
the help of RFID we will be able to control everything and we will not lose anything.

3. A.
1. In the future, I hope we’re going to haverobots in the home to help us with the housework.
2. Hey, Nick, be careful, you’ll spill that coffee on the computer!
3. It’s John’s birthday next week. We’ll give him a mobile phone.
4. – My laptop has crashed! -- Don’t worry. I’m going to lend) you mine.
5. The Internet (will probably change the publishing industry in the way that TV changed the movie
industry.
6. Futurists predict that smart technology is going to be incorporated into fabrics, so you’ll be able
to email from your coat!

C. 1. I completely agree with this opinion because technology is always evolving but especially
cybernetics
2. I completely agree with this opinion because your life will become much easier and you will be
safer
3. I completely agree with this because people do not give you the intelligence of a robot to be
able to build other robots.
4. I agree because there are already such devices that are activated in this way.
5. I agree because nanotechnology is already working on such projects to make computers as
compact as possible
D. Work/ job By 2030, the dangerous work that humans do will be replaced by robots.
Money All the money will be implemented in chips which in turn will be implemented in your hand
Education By 2025 every student will teach you online
Internet High speed internet such as 5G will be banned in most countries
