A new report from Samsung(三星) says life in 100 years from now. There are many tall buildings, underwater cities and holidays in space. Experts on space and city planners gave their ideas on life in 2116. They said the way we live, work and play will be totally different from today. They said that 25 years ago, people could not imagine how the Internet would change our lives. The Internet has completely changed the way we communicate and learn. The experts said the changes in the next century would be even more unbelievable.

Researchers asked people to talk about the future. They said that people will work from home and have work meetings at home. People will have 3D printers that will let you download a model for furniture or a food recipe and then “print” the sofa or pizza at home. There will also be less need for doctors. Our home health robot will tell us what the problem is and give us treatment. We will also go into space for holidays and get what we have used up on Earth. They also said one interesting thing that was whether people would need to study English.
