The Impossible Dream

It is now 2060 and everyone is finally being treated as equal.

By Bridget from Los Angeles 32 in California

It is now 2060 and everyone is finally being treated as equal. We do not see each other at war with each other, but rather a planet working together as one. There is no battle between countries, races, gender, or anything else. Everyone lives as one because we have finally overcome our differences and embrace everyone's individuality. It took time skill and effort to be here today because many people have felt the need to be selfish and only care for themselves rather than looking out for a common neighbor. We no longer live with the underlying constant fear that at any moment a war could begin and human life could be wiped out because we realized that putting weapons down would be beneficial to all. Yes there are still some crazed people that want to fight and have the urge to destroy this peace, but they are greatly outnumbered by the majority that wants our world to stay at peace. This was thought of to be nearly impossible and to this day people question how it came to be, but world peace exists and together we are earth.

Today, I am inspired to fight for what I believe is right such as equality and freedom and I believe in standing up for change. However, I have come to realize that most people in life want the same thing and as soon as we realize that and stop casting stones and pointing fingers at one another, I do deep down have the unrealistic hope that we could live as one and not fight. I think our world is finally going to start changing for the better and I hope that soon our country and then world can find peace.

Surprise Me

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

my future imagination

I love to see future cars.

Flying Shoes Put an End to Traffic

On October 19, 2017, members of Civic Paths joined Professors Anne Crigler and Tom Goodnight and their students at the University of Southern California to facilitate a Civic Imagination Workshop at the Penny Harvest Leadership Academy.

No more Trump

Here's To Hoping. The USA is finally ruled by someone less crazy than Trump.

未来思想

这两张由我创作的水彩画表现了我对在2060年是思想构成的思考。这是我对两种思考模式的猜想。第一副黑白的叶脉图，我命名为《没骨延伸》，没骨是一种艺术表现手法，不需要展现全貌，亦可让读者领略意义的表，以此为出发点，我猜想2060年的思维状态已经接近或达到了“触一点而知全貌”的状态。第二幅彩色的立体矩形图，我命名为《嵌套增长》，我猜测2060年的思想不是一个独立个体的意义空间，而是不同个体通过某种介质（如物联网）所嵌套叠加而成的整合型思维方式。

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.

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.

new world

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

understanding, forgiving, supportive

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

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.

Corona Connections

In my future world, we would care for one another and our surrounding in a way that has been lost with the age of technology.

2060 is probably s**t, but there's still hope from the children

I think 2060 will be described with these 3 keywords (i) climate change consequences, (ii) media anxiety, and (iii) mature children.

In The Shade of Trees

2060. The air is so clean, we take blue skies for granted now.

Equality

Racial equality because of the hard work put in by protesters and people in power to reform a corrupt justice system.

¡ADVERTENCIA!

Dina se despierta a mitad de la noche pensando en lo caótico que podía llegar a ser el futuro después de haber escuchado una grabación desesperada de un hombre que decía ser de 2060...

Self Driving Cars

The way we pay for things.

40 Years Ago...

It’s now 40 years later, the world is healing from a period of pain. A revolutionized environment became possible.

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.

Social Innovation through progress

In 2060, I hope that people would have learned from the current mistakes.

2060

El mundo cambió drásticamente desde la panemia del covid-19 causando billones de muertes y más daños, pero trajo consigo muchos avances tecnológicos que permitieron que todo evolucionara.

Overpopulation

I think significant overpopulation will happen in 2060. People will use technologies full-time, to their daily life.

dominated by the elderly communities

In 2060, the world is dominated by the elderly communities. The cohort life expectancy at birth reaches nearly 100 years for females in Europe and most of the developed worlds.

We are the start

Gen z has always kind of been both popular and unpopular, but our real test was when the racial equality protests broke out

Sci Fi

Maybe our future will look like sci fi movies.

understanding, forgiving, supportive

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

Transportation

We will have trains across the city for easier transportation and less pollution.

The life of 2060

Covid has been cured and now their are flying cars and microchips in peoples heads.

Mi 2060

A pesar de todos los problemas que el mundo tiene actualmente me llena de esperanza pensar en el 2060. Creo en la humanidad y en que si nos unimos para mejorar todas estas situaciones que nos están acabando como sociedad podemos lograr muchos cambios

milagros

Después de la pandemia nos dimos cuenta como necesitamos más sanidad y estructura en el país, es por eso que el futuro viene más viendo por el mañana que por el ahora. Hay más sanidad y viendo por el medio ambiente.

The Transhumanism, good or evil?

I think that the thing that has changed is the focus for improvement of the human being

'Las etiquetas no le importan a nadie': carta a mi yo del pasado

Los hombres y las mujeres vivimos como uno, las etiquetas no le importan a nadie. La igualdad ya no es un futuro ahora es una realidad.

METAMORPHOSIS

My attempt to construct a hope for the future relies on my inspiration of nature.

Less interaction with nature

For sure our society will depend a lot more on technologies and advanced machines.

Back to the Future

technology, happiness, efficiency
