Task: Describe how your ideal future city should look.
Livinthefuture
I’ve always wondered, if advancing into the future meant
only the advancement of technology, all for the aid of improving human living.
Why can’t it be advancement of technology so we are able to preserve and conserve
what we have at the moment instead? And, at the same time still enjoy the
privileges of what higher technology can provide us with.
Thence, my ideal future city with the cliché name of ‘Livinthefuture’
will consist of equal or more amounts of green scattered across land. Trees of
all kinds growing well and healthily in the background along with their nature
counterparts, animals and beasts freely running in the woods without us humans
to cause them harm.
Humans on the other hand, well-equipped with the latest
technology, will no longer be in need of solid physical devices such as laptops
or smartphones. There shall be devices that promote 3D hologram projections
where humans can communicate face-to-face even in long distances. Buildings and transportation are also not a problem anymore as they shall be hovering over the land. Traffic jams will be reduced as well and instead, portals shall be introduced so that humans can ‘teleport’
from a point to another without the hassle of driving around town.
The best part of it all, would be that in ‘Livinthefuture’,
nothing can be bought with money. There shall no longer be the usage of money
as money is indeed the root of most evil. Instead, a trade system will be
implemented in which everyone has to purchase any item through a credit card
that does not charge cash, but life span. So, the more you spend, the shorter
you live.
All in all, I believe that even as we gradually advance for
the better, there is a need also for us to cherish what we still have at the
moment. A better world does not mean we must sacrifice our nature, but to save
it and bring it along with us to the future.
