A book which is still being discussed by many Americans today is “Future Shock” by Alvin Toffler. In this book the writer describes the great changes which have been made in family life because of science and industry.

In the past, when more Americans lived on farms, the typical(典型的) family had many children. In a farm family, parents and their children often lived with grandparents. Uncles and aunts often lived nearby, too.

But now, when industry has become more important than agriculture(农业) in American life, families are becoming smaller and smaller. Industry requires workers who are ready and able to move off the land to move again whenever necessary. Large families can’t be moved from place to place as easily as smaller families can.

In the future, a typical family will be required to move even more often than now, so families will be even smaller .The typical family may keep childless and consist only of a man and a woman. A smaller number of families may raise(养育) children. These families may raise children as their main occupation, leaving the childless families free to move from job to job. What’s more, these child-raising families may raise other people’s children in addition to their own.
