In The future, the technology is going to be very different and more advanced, that technology going to do the work for us. In the future we are going to have cars that can fly, robots and other machines.

The Computer technology has developed rapidly in the past few decades like the cancer and other diseases. Bill Clinton became US pres. in Jan 1993 - only 50 webpage’s on the Internet!) This is still likely to be a major area of change in the coming decades: e.g. computerized houses, where your fridge can be programmed to order fresh milk.

The Biotechnology is likely to change our lives significantly … Genetically modified crops will be grown in climates that were previously impossible (e.g. wheat in semi-arid areas and tropical fruits in the far north) and will have higher yields than in the past … Livestock will be modified to produce higher yields of milk and meat … Human beings will be modified to eliminate inherited diseases.

The technology is the most advances thing in the world, For ex: the internet era the must advances technology in the world, all the people like to use.

All students in Lower School should be required to do social service for at least one term each year. The experience would allow them to get closer to disadvantaged people, understand their needs and help them in some small way. In addition, the students would have an opportunity to interact with other UWC students whom they would not normally meet back in school. Finally, they would probably discover that although service involves some hard work, it is also good fun and leaves one with a sense of achievement

All students in Lower School should be required to do social service for at least one term each year. During normal school hours, spend nearly all time with own class, but soc. service is attended by students from a mixture of classes and grades

The experience would allow them to get closer to disadvantaged people, understand their needs and help them in some small way. They discover that people appreciate your friendship

In addition, the students would have an opportunity to interact with other UWC students whom they would not normally meet back in school. This during normal school hours, spend nearly all time with own class, but soc. service is attended by students from a mixture of classes and grades
