Life in the future

by Jenny

To my imagination, the future is like a Pandora box that carries the mystery inside. Mysteries are unknown, and people tend to hope for the best out of that unknown. This is me hoping for the best of the world that my great-grandchildren are going to live in.

The high-technology will help people with the boring house chores. Principals will finally let high school students use laptops (at that time will probably be 3-D laptops) in class. In order to avoid traffic jam, the Massachusetts Institute of Technology will have invented a vehicle that can fly and use CO2 instead of fuel. There will be traffic lanes in the sky and limited heights for different kinds of cairplanes (in case you don't know what it means, it's the combination of cars & airplanes).

What about the unchanged? The cultural values of each countries will not only be kept but also be embraced. At that time, Presidents will be competing against each other about embracing their country's spiritual values instead of atomic bombs. Artists will still write and sing beautiful songs or paint beautiful pictures, but those masterpieces will be accessible for everybody around the world. Fashion shows will still be held annually and human models will still be modelling the clothes (at that time the vogue will probably set back on wearing big puffy gowns like in the nineteenth century), but they won't be pushed into barbaric diet schedules anymore. Our grandchildren will still scold our great-grandchildren about things like not doing homework or not emailing them on time. And our great-grandchildren will scream and talk back to them like we do to our parents everyday.

I'm sure i'm not the only one who comes up with beautifully ideal things about the future. Because that's what people are, naturally optimistic. No matter how the future brings you, hopefully it will bring you to the best.

Well my original ending was: "Or we'll all die in 2012 like Vanga said. Who knows." but i thought it was quite harsh. So ...
