Looking Ahead

Daily Prompt – Back to the Future

A service has been invented through which you can send messages to people in the future. To whom would you send something, and what would you write?

I would send copies of my blog books to my great grandchildren and theirs and theirs through any future generations.

The message would be,

“Please read through the history of this one ancestor and the stories of some of your other long-gone relatives who lived so long ago. Along with their stories, flashes of inspiration and impressions of life, you may begin to feel their dreams and fears, and their hopes for your own future.

The books, composed in the beginning years of spiraling technology, will hopefully introduce you to the way things were. And, as you read, please try to determine if life was better then, or if it could be better now as you learn from the secrets of the past.”

Oh dear, as I can’t have children and I don’t really think the animals will be able to read, even in the future, this would not really work for me. What to do (see quizzical face – have no idea how to make one as an imoticon)

I’ll have to think about that but I hope to leave a written family history behind.

A very good answer. The grandchildren would know much more about their grandma. When I did the year-long outdoor blog my son put it on a disc. But wonder if they’ll know what a CD disc is in a century, lol?

Someone said that all our technology stuff will be embedded in our wrists. We will be able to make phone calls there, go to our emails, etc. Hmmmmmm. Your son’s disc containing your outdoor blog may have to be buried as a historical oddity! 🙂
