1. The Future

    I think a lot of people are interested with the future. Not like “future future”, just ” the future” you know, roughly 50 to a 100 years from today. I’m sure we all have questions as to what that future society will be like…

    • will there be snacks?
    • will people still have belly buttons?
    • will capes finally supplant the hooded sweatshirt?

    What most concerns me, is how we as a society today will be displayed in the re-enactment settlements of the future. I’m talking about the places that whisk you back to simpler times and show you how people used to live. The place where people are forced to act in character from the era they are depicting, while you pass through with wide eyed wonderment.

    What will this be like in the future?

    I assume future school children will laugh at our odd clothing selections (i’m talking to you ugg boots) and our rudimentary technology (laptops and smartphones). I can almost hear the children of tomorrow mocking me and my non-hovering vehicle. Thinking this makes me sad. But then I imagine that STDs will run rampant and that the english language as we know will be reduced to a mere shadow of what it once was and this makes me feel much better.

    I hate the children of the future, much like the children of the past hate me.
