    In What Way Is The Future A Bad Thing?

    I think that in this book the way that the future is shown is a bad thing. thing as well to show what we could be if we don't take care of our planet now. I think it was a bad thing because there wear so many different problems that where happening and going on to the point when something did happen that was actually something bad. People weren't willing to help or didn't want to because they thought that it was just another stupid person. An example is when wades trailer got blown up but the sixers. This was not his fault and it killed many other people that shouldn't have been killed but when it happened people didn't even think for a second that it might not have been a drug started fire they just assumed that it was because that is how bad of condition there home is in and it was so common that they only really started to help and try to do something about it because they didn't want the fire to spread to there homes. For me this was the first thing that really scared me because this could be our future if we don't start to do anything about it now. And I don't want to have to live in a place where if something happened and people needed help wear people would just not help them because they don't think anything of it or they think it was there own fault. So that is one of the many reasons why I think that this way the future is shown in the book ready player on is not a good thing.…

    Hg Wells Foresee The Future

    I strongly believe what Machiavelli once said, "Whoever wishes to foresee the future must consult the past; for human events ever resemble those of preceding times. This arises from the fact that they are produced by men who ever have been, and ever shall be, animated by the same passions, and thus they necessarily have the same results." H.G. Wells was a man who knew history would repeat itself, and therefore mixed it with creativity to create "The Star" in 1897.…

The two classics have unique approaches on how they represent on society issues such as race, gender, and class. Back to the Future is an action packed and adventure science fiction and fantasy comedy film focusing on time travellers. Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom is a classic American adventure film with a high entertainment value. The way ideologies have been produced and transmitted in Indiana Jones and the Temple of Doom confirms a high level of critical thinking in effort to bring on ideas on how to avert life’s complexities through heroism.

    In Ten Years

    In ten years, I hope to have made my dreams, my reality. I have always strived to achieve what I want most in life. As I get older, however, I realize what I want in life has changed greatly from year to year. What I wanted out of life at 15 had changed drastically by the time I turned 25. At 35, I scoffed at the unrealistic notions I had planned for myself as a teenager. Now, at the age of nearly 45, I have found myself reevaluating, once again, the goals and true purpose of my life. If I were to name the three driving forces of my future at this point in my life, they would concern my finances, my career and my family.…

    Future-Time-Span as a Cognitive Skill in

    David Passig INTRODUCTION Future Studies is a field that began to develop in an established way during the Second World War, when armies were required to make what were called at the time “five-year plans.” This endeavor was developed primarily to plan the movement of forces during future battles, logistics, and so on. Over the years, hundreds of methodologies were developed, with whose help futurists studied future trends in various areas and ranges of time (Armstrong, 2001). Nevertheless, thinkers and leaders continued to make projections, and developed various estimates of future developments without availing themselves of proven research tools. As opposed to the latter, the futurists of the 20th century militated for the establishment and development of methods for evaluating trends whose validity could be monitored and whose reliability could be measured. When the field was, to a certain extent, expropriated from the thinkers and leaders, the state of mind, or skill, which had guided the thinkers in the fashioning of their evaluations of the future, was lost to the researchers of Future Studies. This article focuses on one of the characteristics of the state of mind which led the thinkers to evaluate future trends. In this article we maintain that Future-Time-Span is a state of mind that characterized thinkers in ancient times. With the help of FTS they succeeded in making future evaluations, and in assessing their significance and implications—basing their thinking on the jumble of information that was available to them, on their value emphases, and on their personal styles. The goal of this article is to define the nature of this state of mind or skill, to illustrate it with examples, and to begin to develop tools, or to harness existing tools, so that it may be bequeathed to the leaders of the future. In this article, we will attempt to bring back this skill to the collective state of mind of…

    Twenty Years from Now

    Wow, it’s weird picturing yourself twenty years in the future, but I love making goals for myself. First off, my job has to be the right one for me. I was thinking about managing hotels, like the Hilton, hotels that are all around the world. I want to be able to travel and see them in person. The money figure doesn’t really matter to me. I just want to have the job that I love, so that it won’t really be like working. Secondly, I want a marriage that will last forever. Looks aren’t really important to me. I want to have a big family, maybe four kids, no more than six. With a big family comes a big house. I don’t want a mansion, but I want a house that feels like home to me, something that I can actually claim as my own. Nothing to flashy, so people think that I have a lot of money, just something that I will feel comfortable with. With a house, you must be able to have a car. I want one minivan, and two really nice cars. Like I said about the house nothing to flashy, but something I am comfortable with in my own skin. One major thing that I know I will worry about in the future is my bank account. The main reason why I don’t want anything that is too flashy is because it can be taken away at any time or destroyed. That is why I want to have nice things, but also have a nice bank account, so that I know that in the future, if I need anything or just in case of an emergency, I have something that I can fall back on. Lastly I want a good health. At eighteen, I am not the healthiest person in the world. But I know I can work on it. With time, I can be a very healthy 38 year old man, with four to six children, an amazing wife, a nice size house, with the cars that I can dream about, and I can’t forget about the family dog. I had a daschund when I was younger name Rufus, and I think my children would love one as…

    will the future change us

    In many short stories, we have the element of the supernatural or the extraordinary. These stories interest us because of the fact that most of these things are not real and it lets us imagine a completely different world. A world that might exist in the future. The Indifference Engine and Tourists have opposing themes on the subject. Firstly, Project Itoh, author of the Indifference Engine, is trying to show us how futuristic advances in technology will not help stop fix our societal problems. We can see how the main character, a Xema soldier, does not lose his hatred for the Hoa when given “the shot to the heart”. Secondly, Lisa Goldstein, author of Tourists, shows us a completely different side. She shows us how a little magic can change everything about a person. Charles goes from being a normal traveller to a card seller, just because his face was seen on one of the cards. We can see how even though both these stories follow a supernatural element, one says it does change us and one says it does not. I think the Indifference Engine is more convincing because of the fact that it seems more realistic.…

    Waters Of Now To The Waters Of The Future

    The main point of Ed Kerwin’s presentation that I found was the most fascinating was when he stated that the water that is consumed today by the people was once used and passed through dinosaurs. This fact is really interesting because it spreads the knowledge of where our water is coming from and where it has been. In addition, it also raises a point that people should use our water responsibly because our future generation, at some point, will be using the same water that is being used right now. The water supply is used recycled and again reused through generations and generations. This fact implies that we are also using the same water that our past ancestors have used.…
