[00:00.00]Well,in the future,we'll be able to use modern
[00:03.44]technology to go anywhere we like.
[00:06.07]Wouldn't that be great?
[00:08.17]I feel excited just thinking about it.
[00:11.12]I don't understand.
[00:13.24]Cathy,do you mean we'll use the computer to
[00:15.49]travel around the world,and visit
[00:17.22]all the historical¹ sites?
[00:18.98]That's right!Just imagine it.
[00:21.72]We would not only be able to travel around the
[00:24.16]world,but also go to study in any world famous
[00:27.69]universities we wanted to.
[00:30.02]That could be really exciting!
[00:31.99]But I still find it hard to imagine.
[00:34.33]If they invented virtual² reality holidays,
[00:37.60]I'd go on an around-the-world tour.
[00:40.55]Tom,what would you like to do if someone gave
[00:42.46]you the chance?
[00:44.48]I don't really know.
[00:46.96]Personally,I'm more interested in virtual
[00:49.37]universities than virtual reality holidays.
[00:53.30]I'd like to go to a world-famous³ university,
[00:55.95]like Stanford.
[00:57.82]But I guess,a virtual university just wouldn't
[01:00.33]be the same,would it?
[01:01.81]Ture,but just think,you would be able to study
[01:04.81]in such a world-famous university without going
[01:07.71]out of your room!
[01:07.71]
