2118 - 100 Years From Now

One hundred years away from now... Two-thousand, one hundred eighteen, advances in today's know-how will be the past on 'new world' scene. Yet, what will change and what will stay... so hard to find an answer to, since now a hundred years, someway, flies faster than it used to do. We'll need more time for flying cars, sky monorails from state to state. More time to settle up on Mars with air that we can acclimate. But, lonely times we will embrace behind new futuristic screens. There all our actions will take place... less human-like, more like machines. We'll work from home for companies with formal meetings through VR; and purchase all necessities on internet's worldwide bazaar. Provision services airways will drone to us our goods and food. Home entertainment clicks away, through holographic aptitude. Robotic-like machines will serve production done by hands before. Technology will strengthen verve to more non-humanly explore. Less face to face between our kind... all feelings, thoughts, fly thru the air. Heartfelt emotions leave the mind... much less to think about...or care. Sandra M. Haight
