5、终被信用卡代替。首先，纸币不方便携带；其次，使用信用卡更安全；第三，我们可以上网订购货物，然后用信用卡而不是现金付款。自然资源，如煤炭和石油，正在枯竭。我们用完这些资源时，就得依靠可替代性能源，如太阳能或风能来提供日常所需能量，带动机器。汽车会很先进，我们只需轻轻按一下开关，就可以改变汽车的颜色和形状。我们可以免费享受很多娱乐活动，如保龄球、垒球、音乐会等。我们可以把废弃物装到宇宙飞船上，把它们送到别的星球上去。我们处理掉市区的垃圾后，就不再需要垃圾填埋地了。至于手术，医生们不用离开诊所就可以给门诊病人做外科手术或远程手术。警察可以射出网状物逮捕犯罪分子。你认为我的所有预言有朝一日能够实现吗？
