Would you like to live in a city where buildings turn the lights off for you, and self-driving cars will find the nearest parking space themselves? Although it might sound a little far from you, living in a "smart" city like this could happen sooner than you think.
Great changes have taken place in towns that we have lived in for centuries, while completely new cities are being built. One such place is the city of Songdo. Every home there will have a "telepresence" system（远程遥控系统）—allowing users to control the heating and locks, take part in video meetings, and receive education, health care and government services. Around the city, escalators（自动扶梯）will only move when someone is on them, and offices and schools will all be connected to the system.
The great mind behind Songdo is from a good company. In fact, technology companies around the world are already in the business.
About 75% of the world's population will live in cities by 2050, so cities will need to be more modern to deal with the coming problems. "Making cities smarter is one way out, and I think this will in turn make cities greener," said Dan Hill, head of a research company.

In the world that we are creating very quickly, we're going to see more and more things that look like traditional sci-fi, and fewer and fewer things that look like jobs. For example, our cars are very quickly going to start driving themselves. That means we're going to need fewer drivers. At the same time, there might be some new kinds of jobs in the future. Let's have a look at some of them.
Robots will become more common in our homes and schools, so we'll need people who know how to fix them. These workers will be like robot doctors, finding out what's wrong with a robot and helping it get better.
Imagine going on vacation to space! In the future, more people might be interested in space travel, so we might need guides who can show tourists around the stars and planets.
As AI is developing fast, we'll need people to check if it works well. We call these people AI rule keepers. They have to make sure that AI won't do anything bad to humans.
School might look different in the future, with lessons designed just for you. Then we'll need personal learning planners. These planners would create special learning plans for each student, so that everyone could get what they need to succeed.
These are just a few examples of the jobs we might have in the future. The best way to get ready for these future jobs is to be open to new ideas and never stop learning. Knowledge(知识) will keep important, and problem-solving and creative thinking skills will be needed for our future education and work.
