Elaine: Yes, OK. Or how about meeting a bit earlier? We could have a coffee beforehand.

Thanks to modern technology, there have been enormous changes in the workplace over the past 100 years.

So now let us consider the changes that 18 ( are likely to occur ) in the next 100 years. Unfortunately, I believe that not all changes 19 ( will be )for the better. For example,  more people 20 ( are predicted to work )from home and so they 21 ( are going to feel )  more isolated from their colleagues. On the other hand they 22 ( will have )   greater freedom to choose their working hours.

A further possible change is that handwriting 23 ( is likely to become ) obsolete. We are already so used to using a keyboard that today's children are losing the ability to spell without the aid of a word processor.

Without a doubt, even greater changes 24 ( are going to happen )  in technology used in the workplace. Computers 25 ( will continue )  to grow even more powerful and this 26 ( will result )  in an even faster pace of life than we have now. Let us hope that our employers 27 ( will find ) way to reduce the stress on worker’s this fast pace can bring.

I also think these improvements in technology 28 ( are likely to lead to ) even more globalization than now and companies 29 ( will develop )  very strong international links.
