2112

By now, I might guess there will have been a third World War. This war probably was either over natural resources, or crazy terrorists and tyrrants of multiple countries trying to take over the war. There was probably some nuclear destruction. It is hard to say how the world will turn out because it could either go the way you want, or go the way that it is now. WALL-E is definitely a good portrayl of the future if we continue down the same road. All natural life will be gone because we have been destroying and using up all our natural resources without replenishing or conserving them. We have been producing so much nonbiodegradable and nonrecyclable waste that it could take up most of the space on the planet. We have been creating technology that replaces our need for movement and thinking; it could be as extreme as beds that hover around so that we don't have to walk. Already nearly a third of America's population is overweight, and the numbers are not decreasing. On the other hand, there have been plenty of efforts to prevent these disasters. Environmental groups have reforested many areas of the world and have pushed for new energy sources which have been at least created. Some schools have made changes on lunch menus for healthier options for kids. TV shows even emphasize the importance of staying healthier by eating good, fresh foods and making time to exercise on a regular basis.

Hopefully, by 2112, the world will have taken steps forward and not back. Perhaps the world will be more tolerant of other races and religions; gay marriage might be legalized in the US; we drive electric cars; we eat locally; we can teleport. Maybe not the last one, but we are the ones who can determine the outcome of the future. So who knows what will happen? We do. We will be the change.
