Super skyscrapers, underwater cities and 3D-printed homes will all be a reality in 100 years’ time, according to a new report on life in the future.

[3] The academics, which include future architects and urbanists6urbanist城市規(guī)劃專家。as well as lecturers from the University of Westminster, suggest that ‘bubble cities’will be created underwater making the depths7depth〈常作～s〉深處；深淵；深水。habitable for humans.

近日，一份關(guān)于未來生活的報告稱，超級摩天大樓、水下城市和3D打印房屋將在100年內(nèi)全部成為現(xiàn)實。

[2]“SmartThings未 來 生活報告”受托于三星旗下的物聯(lián)網(wǎng)公司SmartThings，由一群學(xué)者和未來學(xué)家們撰寫而成。他們表示，不出一個世紀(jì)，人們便有望住進(jìn)向地下延伸至25層的“摩地大樓”。

[3]包括未來建筑師、城市規(guī)劃專家和威斯敏斯特大學(xué)講師在內(nèi)的學(xué)者表示，未來水下將建成一種“泡泡城市”，以使深水成為人類的宜居地。

[4]他們還相信，個人無人機(jī)將成為一種主要的交通方 3一個家居自動化平臺，可以方便安卓和蘋果系統(tǒng)用戶通過一款簡單的應(yīng)用輕松控制各種家用電器和聯(lián)網(wǎng)家居設(shè)備。 式，并被當(dāng)作一種未來派“騾子”，用來載著整個家在世界各地度假旅行。

[5] Space scientist Dr Maggie Aderin-Pocock, who co-authored the report,said: ‘Our lives today are almost unrecognisable from those a century ago.The internet has revolutionised the way we communicate, learn and control our lives.

‘Just 10 years ago, technology like SmartThings would have been inconceivable, yet today developments like this let us monitor, control and secure our living spaces with the touch of a smartphone.’

[6] The report also suggested that not only will furniture within homes become 3D-printed, but replicas9replica復(fù)制品，仿制品。of entire houses and structures could be printed.In the workplace, holograms10hologram全息圖。will enable virtual meetings to take place.

“就在10年前，像Smart-Things這樣的技術(shù)仍是不可思議的，而如今，我們只需觸碰一下智能手機(jī)，便可監(jiān)視、控制和保護(hù)我們的生活空間。”

[6]報告還表示，不僅家里的家具可以3D打印，就連整個房屋建筑都可以復(fù)制打印。而在辦公場所，全息圖將使虛擬會議成為可能。

[7] 3D打印已經(jīng)在食物上得到了應(yīng)用，未來這一技術(shù)將變得更加智能。只需幾分鐘，我們便可從中意的大廚那兒下載菜品，打印即食。
