Predictions about future technology:

Self-driving cars: This technology is likely to make transportation safer, more efficient, and convenient.

Artificial intelligence: AI could greatly improve everyday tasks and decision-making processes, but some fear it may lead to job loss and loss of control over technology.

Virtual reality: VR has the potential to revolutionize entertainment, education, and business, but some worry about its impact on mental health and social interactions.

Renewable energy sources: Advancements in renewable energy technology could help combat climate change and reduce our dependence on fossil fuels.

Space exploration: Technologies like reusable rockets and advanced spacecraft could open up new possibilities for space travel and colonization, but there are concerns about the ethics and implications of space exploration.

Welcome self-driving cars because they have the potential to reduce traffic accidents and improve transportation efficiency.

Find artificial intelligence rather scary because it has the potential to replace human workers and raise ethical concerns about control and misuse of technology.

Find renewable energy sources most likely to become a reality because of the growing concerns about climate change and the push for sustainability in the future.
