Monolog

Imagine the following situation: Tech Fair

Imagine there is a huge Tech Fair held at Raumberg-Gumpenstein, which is visited by international guests. You have to introduce the idea of “The Home of the Future” in a presentation. This presentation should include the following issues:

• Explain how some of the new technologies that have been invented to make homes and cities of the future smarter and more innovative should look like.
• Illustrate how an ideal future city should look like
• Give examples of alternative energies to supply the need for more energy in future.
• Hypothesize about the consequences on future food production

Dialog

 After your presentation one of the guests from New Zealand is having a nice cup of coffee with you and you chat about future cities and new technologies. In your conversation you come across the following issues:

•       Discuss new technologies that could help save our planet and the environment.

•       Should technology really replace human control and responsibility?

•      Evaluate the concepts of future transport management systems, urban climate regulation, urban farming and energy supply
