Proud of Us

I think about children when I think of the future. And when they look back on 2020 they'll see how their parents and previous generations struggled to keep them safe and happier.

By Anna S. from Oakland in California

they just want to be proud of us

proud that we made it out

happy to know we didn’t kill each other on purpose

leave each other on purpose

infect each other when we were our worst and at our lowest

we raise the bar of what we can survive everyday

every time

this aint nothing new to us

our children will be proud of us

thats the default right?

we’ll tell them how hard we fought to make things right

and they’ll be the living elements to prove it all

living in a world much brighter healthier and most of all

they would not call each other out of their names or races

they would be kept swept off their feet by the changes we all created by staying put and creative

because we should be sheltered but never limited to the indoors

they would be proud of what we endured

When One Community Inspires Another

In the future hopefully we take measures to prevent disasters such as this one.

Next year, please

Sustainable, healthy, and conscientious.

understanding, forgiving, supportive

People will always make mistakes -- we will never evolve to be perfect, and I'm glad we won't.

Technology has advanced in all senses of the word, because technology is something that is constantly evolving.

I think about the creation of the internet and how revolutionary it was. It resonates with me when thinking about what could change between 2020 and 2060.

The recent political news inspires me.

The key thing that has changed is the definition of country. More specifically, the definition of country would be weaken.

Year 2060: Envisioning A Better Future

We learn not to give so much importance to the color of one’s skin, heritage, background, and religion. It shouldn’t matter.

Are you truly sorry?

Reform, Transparency and Justice are the three words that best describe my idea. I wouldn’t say I was inspired, but more concerned about the state of incarceration in the US.

A Green 2060

Between 2020 and 2060, Americans will finally accept that climate change is real. Hopefully we'll still be alive, with many more new green initiatives in place to keep the planet healthy.

From 2020 to 2060

I personally believe that as a black woman, who by then would most likely have black children and even possibly grandchildren, I will not have to live with the fear of my children being discriminated against or targeted due to the color of their skin

bemusing that Americans once thought a future like this was so impossible

Strangely, before 2020, most americans actually believed that a sudden and drastic overhaul of the economy in order to combat a global crisis was impossible.

new world

We have a female president. Its post war so the economy is doing better.

Robots / AI

There will be many robots who will replace humans.

future that is much better than the present

2060. I've never thought this far into the future but it's there--waiting, continually changing and shifting, until one day January 1st, 2060 will arrive.

"Good world"

Three keywords: love, peace, healthy.

Isolation, virtual reality, and mental health care

During this crisis time, I can't help but imagine a different future than I had imagined before. In my imagination, coronavirus might not disappear yet, it might evaluate into multiple and stronger viruses than before.

As Always, We Prevail

I think the major thing that has changed is that people now view inherently different the government and the people with privilege.

The key thing that has happened between 2020 and 2060 is that the doomsday clock in Times Square, NYC, has run out for many years now.

The meaning of life

I think the changes that we have seen over the past 40 years have made a lot of people re-assess their lives, the ways they view life and life forms as well as the relationships between them and other people and other species in the ecosystem.

My post describes what does the future look like in the way how people will live, communicate and move around.
