The World | Your Life |
Possible topics: - Technology - Medicine/Health Care - Robots - Politics/Social policy - Space Exploration - Etc. | Possible topics: - Family - School/Jobs - Where you will be living - Success - Lifestyle - Etc. |
My Example:
The year 2029 will be 10 years from now, and since technology is advancing so rapidly, I see it continuing to do so. Technology might advance a bit too quickly for us to handle. Scientists will have created fully functioning robots and taken them to the next level. I believe some people will fall in love with robots, and this is going to have great consequences on society, and governments won't know how to make policies for this sort of thing.
TV will be completely different than what we see now. It will continue to be moving more and more to an online platform like Netflix, Hulu, Youtube, WWE Network, UFC Fight Pass, and so on. This is why I'm working mostly online.
As far as medicine, I believe people will be wearing chips under their skin for their identity, and even to cure some diseases. Some people won't like this idea, and they will choose to not participate in this activity, much like vaccinations today. I'm not sure how this is going to affect society, I guess we will have to wait to find out.
As for my life, I will have gotten into something new, and tried new challenges. I will have expanded Sweed Academy, and will be working on my new project. Either way, I'm sure I will be working for myself. My daughter will be 13 years old by then, and my son will have just turned 11, which I know I won't be able to believe. I don't know which country my family and I will be living in, but I'm sure we will be together and happy... most of the time ;).
