The Text: What will life be like in one hundred years time? Will our home life be more comfortable? Will our jobs become easier? Will our health become better thanks to technology? According to scientists, robots will be doing our hard work, taking over some of our jobs and monitoring our health. Does this sound unbelievable? This might be the kind of world our grandchildren will grow up in. Our home life will be greatly affected by technology and this example might prove it. Women find being a mother difficult because they have to take care of children and do house work every day. Many mothers work or attend school so they leave their children with babysitters who are expensive and sometimes aren’t nice to the children they watch. It will be great if someday every family owns a robot to help take care of the children. Then being a mother will be easier. Maybe the robot will be cleaning our floors, cooking, vacuuming and washing our clothes. Do you think this is possible? Will we have robots someday? Could a robot be a mother?
