1 Robots
Will we have robots at home? There already are many kinds of robots! Big factories use a variety of robots that help put pieces together and do things that are dangerous for people.
Some countries have robots that do things for people at home; for example, there is a robot that can cut the grass while you relax with a glass of lemonade! Also, there are robotic vacuum cleaners. They clean the floor by themselves.
Now, many cars have GPS (Global Positioning Systems) in them. A car with a GPS system can give you directions on how to get somewhere, tell you where the closest gas station is, and, some day in the future, it will drive itself. You will take a nap or

read while the car drives itself to your destination.
There are some companies in the world that are going to build robot pets, and many of them will be in homes around the world. The Sony Company built a dog called Aibo that can sit and do lots of tricks. Some people are going to buy one of those dogs so they have a good robotic friend at home. Aibo is also a great guard dog. He can patrol the yard and take pictures of anything suspicious with a built-in camera. As you can see, we will probably have lots of robots around us in the future
