C
A long time ago, people were very different from the way we are now. For example, if you find a really old house somewhere, you’ll see that the doors are usually much lower than they are today. Why? Because hundreds of years ago, people were shorter. Over time, the human body has changed a lot.
Can we expect the human body to keep changing in the future? That’s for sure. And the main reason is that we have more and more technologies (技术), and those technologies are changing how we live. Here are some possible changes.
In the future, people will probably be even taller. Most of us now have much better food than people in the past, so we grow more. Then we will become taller and taller.
Our muscles (肌肉) will not be as strong as now, because we won’t do lots of physical work. We are already using our feet less and our hands more. So we can expect that our legs will get shorter and our feet will get smaller. At the same time, our fingers (手指) will get longer. What’s more, our fingers and eyes will both get better, because they will have to do more work together.
What about the mouth? It’ll get smaller, because we needn’t talk so much with the help of technology.
Will all these things happen? And if so, when?
