inventions were being made
7. THE FUTURE
The present is already very advanced with
HD TV and 3D cinema. The future is
probably going to keep on improving

completely new things. First generations
of artificial intelligences have already
been made and invisible coats are in
development.

Until today many things have been different and many things have
been done in different ways. Things such as smart boards for
teaching, cameras for security and movies for entertainment. This
