Pearson has __1__ together to work of hundreds of researchers around the world to produce a __2__ millennium technology calendar that gives the latest dates when we can expect hundreds of key __3__ and discoveries to take place.

And home appliances will also become so smart that controlling and operating them will result in the breakout of a new psychological disorder-kitchen rage.
