Read the following interview with doctor Claus: / Lea la siguiente entrevista con el doctor Claus:
Many people are worried about the future and what is coming up for the society; here we have an interview with
Doctor Claus a specialist in social changes. / Muchas personas están preocupadas por el futuro y lo que depara
para la sociedad; aquí tenemos una entrevista con el doctor Claus, especialista en cambios sociales.

Interviewer: Hello Doctor Claus, thanks for coming to our Radio program “Who knows it all”?

Doctor Claus: Thank you for having me here.

Interviewer: Doctor Claus as we all know, you are an expert on technology, what do you think is going to happen
with transportation in 10 years?

Doctor Claus: Well I think in 10 years there are going to be flying cars everywhere, as the current cars are not
going to be enough for the growing population.

Interviewer: What about the airplanes though?

Doctor Claus: Well probably helicopters are going to be quite cheap; it’s going to be like buying a new car.

Interviewer: That sounds great, what other advances in technology shall we expect.

Doctor Claus: Well I think that in a few years there are going to be intelligent robots that are going to do all the
house chores, so we’ll just sit around and relax while they clean the house. Also new technologies will be invented
to reduce global warming, such as eco-friendly alternatives for transportation and for the industry.

Interviewer: Thank you Doctor, it’s been quite interesting for all the audience, we hope to have you here again in
10 years.

Doctor Claus: Thank you, of course it would be a pleasure.

cars I think this CHOOSE to be sooner because the technology
CHOOSE so fast, besides, I consider people CHOOSE not going
to have helicopters that easy because they are so expensive.
However, I really think rich people CHOOSE to be able to travel to
Mars on vacations. Finally, I think that the rich countries such us
United States CHOOSE going to have water because they
CHOOSE take care about the natural resources

good day about how our future will be in the 10 years, i think that with the means of transport as far as the
population if it is very true by capacy will no longer give to terrestrial transport since i'm going to have a big
family, the part of the robots would be excellent since they already work men and women and ecological
larte is great perfect that we are conscientious to take care of our environment and help
