Hey folks, Ken here. Today, we’re gonna talk about tech in 100 years. Technology nowadays is constantly evolving, providing us with a more convenient and efficient lifestyle. However, what do you picture that we’ll be seeing within 100 years? 100 years ago, people said that we’ll have flying cars in the 21st century, but...that’s not even close to what we have now, maybe we’ll have to wait for another 100 years for that to actually happen. Think back 100 years ago, electricity had pretty much just been invented. Movies had no sound, and even carrier pigeons were still being used to deliver letters. Things have come a long way since then, which makes us wonder, what will technology look like in the next 100 years?
VR and AR technologies have been vastly used in recent years, but what about brain-linked VR? It doesn't exist just yet, but it's thought that this could run directly through your brain, by passing biological sensory systems, creating artificial experiences of touch, smell, and maybe even taste. It could construct an alternate reality so realistic that you mix up what's real and what's not.
What’s more, the homes that you live in will be pretty different too. People are expecting that we'll be 3D printing incredible homes and even making them foldable and transportable! The hope is that 3D printing in general will allow us to print literally anything we need. How convenient that is! Imagine when you need to fix something and you don’t have a certain tool, you can basically print out a hammer, a screwdriver or a wrench. Also, before taking a test when you realize that you need a 2B pencil but a 7-11 is too far, what do you do? You print it out! If you ask me what I would like to print, I’d like to try printing some… dollar bills. Shh! Don’t ask why.
And now here’s our sentence of the day:
Flying cars, once thought to be a thing of just science fiction, are actually progressing at lightning speed.
[Vocabulary words]
1. once One single time
Ex: I went bungee jumping once, and I loved it a lot. 我玩過一次高空彈跳，而我超喜歡的。
2. fiction A story that is written about imaginary characters and events and not based on real people and facts
Ex: “Sci-Fi” is the abbreviation for Science Fiction. “Sci-Fi” 就是科幻電影的簡稱。
*Movie you can watch: “Stranger than fiction”. 電影推薦：口白人生 Mainly about a guy who realized that he’s actually a character in a book and later on met with his creator, the real-life author of the book. Starring Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson.
3. lightning a flash of bright light in the sky that is produced by electricity moving between clouds or from clouds to the ground Ex: That old tree was struck by lightning. 那棵老樹被閃電擊中了。
Alright that’s all the time we have for today. What kinds of inventions or technology can you foresee in the decade or century to come? I’m ready to listen to some creative answers. Leave a comment down below and let me know! This is Ken Miao and I’ll see you again next week.

Hey folks, Ken here. Today, we’re gonna talk about tech in 100 years. Technology nowadays is constantly evolving, providing us with a more convenient and efficient lifestyle. However, what do you picture that we’ll be seeing within 100 years? 100 years ago, people said that we’ll have flying cars in the 21st century, but...that’s not even close to what we have now, maybe we’ll have to wait for another 100 years for that to actually happen. Think back 100 years ago, electricity had pretty much just been invented. Movies had no sound, and even carrier pigeons were still being used to deliver letters. Things have come a long way since then, which makes us wonder, what will technology look like in the next 100 years?
VR and AR technologies have been vastly used in recent years, but what about brain-linked VR? It doesn't exist just yet, but it's thought that this could run directly through your brain, by passing biological sensory systems, creating artificial experiences of touch, smell, and maybe even taste. It could construct an alternate reality so realistic that you mix up what's real and what's not.
What’s more, the homes that you live in will be pretty different too. People are expecting that we'll be 3D printing incredible homes and even making them foldable and transportable! The hope is that 3D printing in general will allow us to print literally anything we need. How convenient that is! Imagine when you need to fix something and you don’t have a certain tool, you can basically print out a hammer, a screwdriver or a wrench. Also, before taking a test when you realize that you need a 2B pencil but a 7-11 is too far, what do you do? You print it out! If you ask me what I would like to print, I’d like to try printing some… dollar bills. Shh! Don’t ask why.
And now here’s our sentence of the day:
Flying cars, once thought to be a thing of just science fiction, are actually progressing at lightning speed.
[Vocabulary words]
1. once
One single time
Ex: I went bungee jumping once, and I loved it a lot.
我玩過一次高空彈跳，而我超喜歡的。
2. fiction
A story that is written about imaginary characters and events and not based on real people and facts
Ex: “Sci-Fi” is the abbreviation for Science Fiction.
“Sci-Fi” 就是科幻電影的簡稱。
*Movie you can watch: “Stranger than fiction”.
電影推薦：口白人生
Mainly about a guy who realized that he’s actually a character in a book and later on met with his creator, the real-life author of the book. Starring Will Ferrell and Emma Thompson.
3. lightning
a flash of bright light in the sky that is produced by electricity moving between clouds or from clouds to the ground
Ex: That old tree was struck by lightning.
那棵老樹被閃電擊中了。
