I remember when I was around 6 years old. I would wake up at 7:00, exactly, every morning, run downstairs, and watch cartoons. I got a lot of crazy ideas from cartoons, but the one thing I remember most is that in every cartoon, the future had flying cars and tight chrome spandex suits. Movies also show 3-D TV screens and weird buildings with silver and gold everything. However, I think the future will be a little different than what the cartoons and movies show.
While everyone talks about the future, the “future” is almost impossible to describe. The future is 20 seconds from now, and 5 billion years from now. I don’t think that in the future everything will be chrome, or even metal. I think that the world is growing industrially, and if we don’t stop it, then it will lead to some issues. Global Warming and air pollution are problems that we need to pay attention to.
I think the physical world won’t look much different than it does today. I think that there will be new gadgets to make our lives easier, and technology will get more complex, but cities won’t become made out of chrome and gold. Just think of how things are today. Today was the future in the 1980s when those cartoons were made, and we don’t make buildings out of shiny gold now.
