The Future - Elizabeth Anne Edwards

Normally when we’re asked what the future will be like, we automatically think of things like The Jetsons, I, Robot, and Star Trek. As strange as it may seem, many aspects of these futuristic depictions are pretty accurate, especially if we continue our current actions.

With the way we keep progressing, technology can only become more and more advanced and more and more awesome! Who knows what the future will hold? Hover boards, robot friends, solar powered automobiles, surrogates, paper-thin computers, and fully automated/computerized homes will most likely come about seeing as they already have the technology for some of these things now. And as for the environment…well…I’m hoping that we’ll become more eco-friendly. We have a long way to go, but people are realizing the damage we’ve done and are taking little steps to better our planet. So, I think we will definitely “save the Earth” in a sense. Natural resources are definitely going to be the main source of power, whether it’s solar, wind, water, or heat. We’re going to have to realize sooner or later that they’ve been right in front of us for centuries and now we have the ability to use them wisely and efficiently. Since we’ve used money for so long, it probably won’t go away anytime soon or later, but credit/debit cards are for sure going to be used more often. Space exploration will definitely shoot up. It’ll get better and better. They’ll have a newer and faster way of getting to certain places in outer space, but the main possibility is exploring all the other planets. As human beings, we’re just so curious, and we’ll never know what we’ll find, so we won’t be able to help ourselves. Power may just be something we can take into our own hands. Maybe as time goes on we won’t need so many leaders. Then again we’ve been led for countless years, so we could just go “mad” when we’re given all this freedom and power. Relationships are a tricky thing to figure out, especially in the future. A lot of the times, we humans are very predictable, almost a little too predictable. Though, for the most part, we are very unpredictable. A relationship (all kinds of relationships) is something that really depends on the people you’re dealing with. It’s in their own hands. What else will the future have in store for us? Or better yet, what’s really going to happen? We can’t know for sure. Oh well…I guess we’ll have to just wait and see.
