[Music] Technology has a big impact on our lives, but how will it change products and services in the future? [Music] My name is Leona Jansen Smith and I'm a director at Postmark. I think shops will still exist in 10 years. I think there will be more online shopping, but people will still want to look at the things they're buying and touch and feel them. I think that in the future there will be robot shop assistance. >> Cash will become less and less popular and we will pay for things with our phones, our watches, and with contactless credit cards. Packaging will change in the future. There will be less packaging on all products bought in store to reduce waste. My name is Steve Morris and I'm the CEO of the Morgan Motor Company. In the next 5 to 10 years, electric cars and motorbikes will become very popular. Many people will buy them because they're good for the environment and they reduce pollution in our cities. Many people will choose to share cars. I think there might be driverless cars on the streets within the next 5 to 10 years. Over the next 10 years, Morgan will think about developing electric and hybrid cars. We won't plan to develop driverless cars, but we will continue to make exciting sports cars. I'm Kate Morton. I'm trading director for fashion and retail personnel. I think technology will have an impact on clothes and soon we might go into a store and find clothes that change color. We'll shop online and we'll try on clothes via an app on our mobile phones. In the next 5 to 10 years, manufacturers will use recycled materials to make clothes, and this will be better for the environment. People won't buy as many clothes, but if we need a new shirt or dress, then we might rent instead. [Music] I'm Lisa Franchesca Nand and I'm a travel journalist. I think hotels will be different in many ways in the future. There won't be a reception desk because guests will check in online. And when they arrive at the hotel, they will go straight to their room and open their door using an app on their smartphone. Guests will order food and drink via an app and robots might deliver this to their rooms. Smart technology will also help hotels to save energy and reduce waste. [Music]
