从工作到休闲，从运输到教育，科技正以前所未有的速度改变着整个世界。人们的穿戴中已经出现了电脑；机器人在工厂和战场上穿梭；穿过硅谷的高速公路上点缀着无人驾驶汽车。据最新的皮尤调查结果，大约三分之二的美国人认为，技术革新会让未来变得更美好，还有三分之一的人认为科技未来会更糟糕。无论如何，科技进步无法阻挡。我们采访了一些推动技术革新的人，他们向我们展示了一些不那么遥远的未来。

原文：

From employment to leisure and transportation to education, tech is changing the world at a faster pace than ever before. Already, people wear computers on their faces, robots scurry through factories and battlefields and driverless cars dot the highway that cuts through Silicon Valley. Almost two-thirds of Americans think technological change will lead to a better future, while about one-third think people’s lives will be worse as a result, according to a new survey from Pew Research Center. Regardless, expect more change. In a series of interviews, which have been condensed and edited, seven people who are driving this transformation provided a glimpse into the not-too-distant future.
