Phone in your views on three key developments. 1 Are you in favour of a future where the car is taken out of your control? Here are two arguments to help you decide...

The totally automated car will bj faster, cheaper and safer rather like having your own personal chauffeur anytime you want it. What that means for all of us is more time to spend the way we want to spend it - the car will take care of the driving. Traffic jams will bj a thing of the past and most importantly by removing human error, we can eliminate road traffic accidents with all their cost and misery.

I have two concerns, the first is personal liberty. If we have a nanny state deciding where we can travel, when we can travel and what distance we can travel from each other, then it will remind us of those large orchestrated parades they used to have in Red Square. The second is a safety issue. What happens when this computer controlled transport system breaks down? We will have gridlock and traffic accidents.

If you're against call: 0900 1 22 99 84. 2 Mapping our genetic code means that in the next 50 years we'll bj able to pinpoint the genes responsible for thousands of disorders. This new technology could eliminate genetic disease, giving parents the peace of mind to plan their families.

In the new century beauty and brains could bj on every parent's shopping list. So will these new embryo tests bj a blessing, and help eliminate a range of terrible and incurable disjasjs, or will it all get out of control? If you believe it's a power for good and can bj kept under control, call: 0900 1 22 99 78. If you think it's wrong and will inevitably get out of control, call: 0900 1 22 99 79.

Housework is one thing that most of us would like to see become 20th century history. Tomorrow's World is running a phone poll so you can choose which household task you would most like to hand over to an automated servant. If vacuuming is the one chore you'd like a mechanical household assistant to do call: 0900 1 22 99 80.
