A new report shows what life might be like in 100 years from
now. It describes skyscrapers that are much taller than today's
buildings, underwater 'bubble' cities, and holidays in space. The
report is from Samsung's SmartThings.

It asked experts on space, architecture, and city planners to give


their ideas on life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and
play will be totally different to how we do these things today.

The experts said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine
how the Internet and smartphones would change our lives. The
Internet has revolutionised the way we communicate, learn and
do daily things. The experts said the changes in the next century
would be even more unbelievable.

Researchers questioned 2,000 adults about the
predictions they thought were most likely to
happen in the future. They predicted that in the
future, few people will go to an office but will work
from home and have virtual work meetings.
People will have advanced 3D printers that will let
you download a design for furniture or a food
recipe and then 'print' the sofa, table or pizza at
home. There will also be less need for visits to the
doctor. We will all have a home health capsule that
will tell us what the problem is and give us
treatment. We will also be going into space for
holidays and to get resources that we have used up
on Earth.
