Nowadays, more and more people have their own car. Twenty years ago, we can not see as many car as now, but along with the development of technology, having a car is a usual thing for most families. Because of big numbers of private cars, in our city, government announced that they promulgated to control the traffic. A lot of people are worried about if the number of cars will increase. But in my personal opinion, I believe that in the future, there will be fewer cars than today for the following reasons.
First of all, a lot of people noticed that environment pollution is much serious than before. And one of the main reasons is the smoke coming from the cars which lead to air pollution. Some scientists said that the result of global-warming is earth goes to the ends. For this, most people are cautious that they should protect our home and our environment. So they will lessen to utilize car even buying a new one.
Furthermore, because of the technical development, people need not to move as more as before. Even now, there are a lot of people who work at home. My older sister is an office worker before, she is leaving home very early and arrived home very late. But recently, she changed her job as a home-based online tutor. She told me that she does not need her car anymore because she need not to go out everyday. And several days ago, she sold her car.
What’s more, maybe in twenty years, we will use other vehicle instead of car. In my country, twenty years ago, there are not so many people having car. The most popular vehicle is bicycle. And nobody thought that car will become a public transportation for the people. And recently, a lot of young people start to use a transportation tool which call E-scooter. It is much smaller than a car, and do no need to use gasoline anymore. And the biggest advantage is that it is easy to take it out. The users said that car is not a utility anymore for them.
To summarize, not only for environment, but also according to the development of the society and the technology, the number of car will be fewer than there are now.
