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. Some of the biggest developments will be in medicine, including an __4__ life expectancy and dozens of artificial organs __5__ into use between now and 2040.
Pearson also __6__ a breakthrough in computer human links.

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.
