Duong, Nick, and Chau are talking with Dr. Nelson after listening to his talk about the roles of science and technology in the 21st century.

Dr. Nelson: Well, as you know, developments in science and technology are greatly changing the way we live, communicate, travel, everything ...

Duong: You mean science and technology are changing our lives in every field?

Dr. Nelson: Right

Duong: For the better?

Dr. Nelson: Mostly for the better. Science and technology also have enormous effects on economic development

Nick: Well, my dad told me that only robots would work in factories and clean our homes in the future. Is it right, Dr. Nelson?

Dr. Nelson: Sure. And we'll have flying cars and spaceships so that we can travel faster and further than before.

Chau: So we won't have traffic jams any more?

Dr. Nelson: No, we won't. Science and technology are the keys to development in other fields too. They will certainly bring a lot more benefits to people.

Chau: And what about education? Our science teacher said that there would be no more schools: we'd just stay at home and learn on the Internet.

Dr. Nelson: That's right. Students won't go to school like now...

Duong: Wow! I hope that happens soon.
