With the development of technology, our city life is becoming smarter and smarter. The idea of smart cities makes people live a better life. Here are some examples.

Smart campuses(校园)

In China, many campuses have turned from using“old-school” multimedia(多媒体的)tools to AI and big data(数据). Students in smart campuses can use VR glasses to learn about what's inside a rocket and how it is launched(发射). In swimming classes, by wearing smart earphones, children can get real-time instructions from the coach under the water. This makes training safer.

They can also enjoy meals made by smart canteens. They can choose meals according to their needs on the internet. It helps the school plan and prepare meals, cutting down on food and kitchen waste.

Smart homes

More and more people would like to live in smart homes. If you' re not at home, many worries may come into your mind. With a smart home, all these worries will be gone.What's more, users can use an app to control different smart home devices(设备) easily. You can turn on the air conditioner 30 minutes before getting home. Moreover, the app can record what happens inside your home.

Smart transportation

Smart transportation is developing fast.That's why many companies have made some smart apps.

Just download them to your smartphones,and tell the app the places of your departure(出发) and destination(终点). Then, a driverless car will go to you. A computer takes full control of the drive. A screen on the back seats shows people the information of the ride and how the car looks around to see other cars,bikes, and anything else that might get in its way.
