16: (sample answer)
In my opinion, technology will
continue to bring both positive and
negative changes to our lives. Most
people will be connected to the
Internet at home so more of them
will be able to work from home.
They won't have to travel to their
offices every day. This will reduce
the amount of traffic on the roads,
which will reduce pollution. On the
negative side, life will also get faster
and people will get even more
stressed. I hope that well find a way
of dealing with this stress and be
able to live with technology in a
healthier way.
