Yesterday in an English class, we had a discussion about AI. especially on how humans and AI get along. Many students spoke up and shared their thoughts on the topic. It was a lively and interesting discussion. Here are three of the students’ opinions.
| I want to add a pair of “super-long-distance” glasses in my eyes so that I can see interesting or dangerous things sooner. I could look out of the window and see people I miss far away. I could also warn people about earthquakes or other disasters. In this way, I can help warn people of the coming danger. |
| A huge difference between AI and humans is that robots don’t create new things, and they don’t get bored with things. Take the floor-cleaning robots as an example. They can sweep the floor for many hours without getting bored, but we humans would get bored quite quickly. We instinctively (本能地) want to create new things, and that’s where we have an advantage over AI. |
| I don’t want my memories to be changed or improved, because every memory is beautiful and worth recalling. But if it must be changed or improved with the help of AI, I would bring back all the memories that I’ve forgotten. My family are always happy whenever they talk about my childhood. I think they would be good memories, and I wish I could have them back. |

What will the world of tomorrow look like? Many people today believe that technology is going to help solve some of the most difficult problems we have on the earth today. New technology may solve old problems, and it may also create new ones.___________ Each has advantages and disadvantages, as these three examples.
When we dream about the future, many of us think that we will be able to fly to the skies in our own personal flying car. We could fly at 480 km per hour, avoiding traffic lights and busy roads. However, there will be problems with traffic control.
3D printing is another new technology for the future. 3D printers are already used to make life—size models of car parts, and man-made body parts, such as ears. As we move into the future, 3D printing will change the way we make things and the way we treat sick people. The disadvantage is that such a machine is very expensive.
Finally, people are trying to build a robot suit. This is an electronic suit. It allows people to lift heavy things and walk a long way. It might help people walk again after an illness or an accident. However, one disadvantage at the moment is cost.
Looking ahead, it is easy to imagine a future. We’ll be able to fly to work, print out a new pair of shoes or lift a car above our heads. Although there are some problems to solve before all of this is possible, we can certainly dream of a world. In this world, technology makes people’s lives easier and safer. It can solve some of the most difficult problems we have today.

| Ping Pong Door Do you want a ping-pong table in your room? But you may not have enough space. Now this door is here to help you. It can turn into a ping-pong table when you pull it down. After the ping-pong game is over, it goes back to being a common door. It was designed by Tobias Fränzel from Germany. Cool idea! |
| Dog Watch The dog watch is a “clock for keeping time at a rate(比率) other than human time” and was invented in 1991. With this watch, you can know time at your animal’s rate instead of your own. The watch multiplies（乘）every human time by seven, giving us “doggy time”. If a dog lives to be the age of 14, that translates into 98 human years! |
| Earthquake House Big earthquakes can hit a house, possibly making the people in it get hurt. But Dysinger has found a way, the Earthquake House! His idea is simple. Build a round house that has earthquake sensors(传感器) in it. If the sensors know the big earthquake, the house is free from its chains(链条). Don’t worry. You always remain straight in it. |
| Smell This How do you know if your breath smells nice, or if it smells bad? It’s difficult to know because it’s very hard to smell the air that comes out of your own mouth. Smell This is useful for this situation. You just place the mask on your face, then breathe out through your mouth and breathe in through your nose. |
