The document discusses predictions for the future of food, work, and living situations in the year 2035. It suggests that while life will be similar to today, it will be "smarter and more automatic." Specifically, it envisions that food will be grown vertically in automated buildings rather than on horizontal land, and that automation and artificial intelligence will make many existing jobs obsolete but also create new jobs that cannot yet be imagined.

1. What does the future hold for the food we eat, the technology we use and the homes we
live in? The world in 2035 will probably be much like it is today, but smarter and more
automatic.

A. Fill in the gaps, using the information in the text with the words in italics.
What will life be like in 2035?
Google’s Ray Kurzweil says: ‘The next major food
revolution will be vertical agriculture in which we
grow food in AI-controlled vertical buildings
rather than horizontal land.
The number of people is growing more and more.
So, the need for food will definitely increase in 20
years.
There will be vertical farming, genetically-
modified (GM) foods and synthetic meat to meet
the needs.
Rather than humans working with machines,
automation is likely to make some jobs redundant.
Taxi-drivers will disappear because self-driving
Uber cars will replace them.
Robots will replace receptionists, waiters and
doctors.
However, the future will create new jobs like;
programmers for self-driving Uber cars.
Technology will give an end to many jobs, creating
new one that we cannot imagine.
We don’t know what the future holds for us for sure. However, there
will be big changes in …………………………….sector. We, traditionally, grow
food in ……………………………. lands. In the future, AI will help grow food in
vertical buildings. Those who work now may lose their …………………………….
in the future; Uber cars and …………………………….will replace jobs. In the
future, there will also be new jobs such as ……………………………. .

C. Write about your own ideas about the future. What will be similar or different from it
is today?
In the future, there will be great changes in people’s life-styles. One of the most
