In less than30years time the Star Trek holodeck will be a reality.Direct
links between the brains nervous system and a computer will also create full
sensory virtual environments，allowing virtual vacations like those in the film
Total Recall.
(71)There will be television chat shows hosted by robots，and cars with
pollution monitors that will disable them when they offend.(72)Children will
play with dolls equipped with personality chips.computers with in-built
personalities will be regarded as workmates rather than tools，relaxation will be
in front of smell-television，and digital age will have arrived.
According to BT s futurologist，Ian Pearson，these are among the developments
scheduled for the first few decades of the new millennium(a period of
1000years)，when supercomputers will dramatically accelerate progress in all
areas of life.
(73)Pearson has pieced together the work of hundreds of researchers around
the world to produce a unique millennium technology calendar that gives the
latest dates when we can expect hundreds or key breakthroughs and discoveries to
take place.Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine，including an
extended life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs coming into use between
now and 2040.
Pearson also predicts a breakthrough in computer-human links.“By linking
directly to our nervous system，computers could pick up what we feel
and，hopefully，simulate feeling too so that we can start to develop full sensory
environments，rather like the holidays in Total Recall or the Star Trek
holodeck，”he says.(74)But that，Pearson points out，is only the start of
man-machine integration:“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 forecasts for
when faster-that-light travel will be available，or when human cloning will be
perfected，or when time travel will be possible.But he does expect social
problems as a result of technological advances.A boom in neighborhood
surveillance cameras will，for example，cause problems in2010，while the arrival of
synthetic lifelike robots will mean people may not be able to distinguish
between their human friends and the droids.(75)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.
