Do you have a smart device, like a mobile phone or a TV? In the future, smart technology will be everywhere and it will make our lives easier. Do you hate washing and cleaning? I know I do! Well, soon we might have robot helpers to do the housework! Don`t like cooking? Buy an automatic food machine to do it for you. Touch the screen to choose your meal and it will be ready in seconds! If you want new clothes or furniture, get a 3D printer to make them for you. Some companies already make deliveries using drones. But soon, everyone will use them. The sky will be full of these little machines. The future is smart and I can`t wait for it!
