Below is my example.
My main interest in travelling to the future would be to witness change. I'm curious as to whether the world will be better or worse. I am interested in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). That is why if I could travel to the future I would like to go to 2050 in order to see the changes and how the world will have dealt with the issue of climate change (or not).
I would like to go to many different places round the world so that I could get a good perspective of the changes on different continents. Of course, I would be most interested in places where I have already been so that I would be able to compare. I would focus on visiting major urban areas as well as some geographically interesting places in Europe and the Americas.
I don't think I would want to stay in the future, because I'm sure that I wouldn't be able to handle the changes that would have taken place in the next thirty years. I would like to return to the current time so that I could live my life. However, visiting the future would most definitely make a huge impact on the way that I live the rest of my life, which could be full of joy or completely depressed, depending on what I see in the future.
I got the picture above from Wired magazine. Here is a link to the article that attempts to predict the year 2050.
Which country or city would you like to visit in the future?
ReplyDeleteLike I said in my post, I would like to visit the places where I've lived, so Santiago, Poland, NYC, Washington DC, etc.
DeleteWhat do you think you would find in the future with respect to the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs)?
ReplyDeleteI hope that here in Chile there will be some action made towards diminishing the disparity between rich and poor. I also believe that governments around the world need to make radical changes in infrastructure in order for us to be less dependent on fossil fuel.
DeleteWhat if you found a totally dystopian world?
ReplyDeleteTo be honest, I wouldn't be surprised :(
DeleteWhat do you think will become of technology and its influence on life?
ReplyDeleteI'm beginning to think that technology will figure out a way to become superior to humanity.
DeleteIf you can stay in the future, would you do it?
ReplyDeleteAs I mentioned in my post, I would probably prefer to return and live out my life with hope or completely depressed, depending on what I find in the future.
DeleteI found the article that you linked very interesting; it made me think a lot about the future we are aiming for if we continue to act in the same way.
ReplyDeleteWhat do you think is the most difficult time to visit?
ReplyDeleteIm actually scared of the future, I hope that the world change in a positive way, but I don't feel like we are moving in that direction. Let's hope that things gets better
