    Predictions about life in the future are as old as mankind. Science fiction books and films are stories based on predictions about life in the future. Some predictions, however, proved very wrong. In 1948, for instance, a radio expert predicted that TV would not last. Life magazine predicted that by 1970, families would replace their cars with helicopters! Despite all dangers of prediction, Omni Future Almanac has a few predictions about our life beyond the 20th century: 1. Books will be too expensive. School reference materials will come from a computer or a videodisc. 2. Synthesizers and other computerized methods will generate most songs. 3. The fabric of our clothes will be very thin and durable. 4. We will wear a belt with controls to make our clothes warmer or cooler depending on the weather. Vocabulary Belt: cinto clothes: roupas despite: apesar de prediction: previso would last: iria durar 1 Check the meaning of the words in bold. Use the words given. (0,2)
