Pearson has 1 together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a 2 millennium (一千年) technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key 3 and discoveries to take place. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an 4 life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs 5 into use between now and 2040. 　　 Pearson also 6 a breakthrough in computer human links. “By linking 7 to our nervous system, computers could pick up what we feel and, hopefully, simulate 8 too so that we can start to 9 full sensory environments, rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek holodeck,” he says. But that, Pearson points out, is only the start of man-machine 10 ’“It will be the beginning of the long process of integration that will ultimately lead to a fully electronic human before the end of the next century.”Through his research, Pearson is able to put dates to most of the breakthroughs that can be predicted. However, there are still no 11 for when faster-than-light travel will be 12 , or when human cloning will be perfected, or when time travel will be possible. But he does 13 social problems as a result of technological advances. A boom in neighborhood surveillance (监视)cameras will, for example, 14 problems in 2010, while the arrival of synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to 15 between their human friends and the droids(人形机器人). And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder-kitchen rage. 1.
