А letter to my (almost) 16-years-old self dear Kate, hey, how is it going? I know that I always forget to write you and I’m really sorry. But now I’m doing it, and I do have something to tell you! I bet you are wondering about your future life. Well, I’ll tell you about that. First of all, you know, people have become much more tolerant and kind to each other! We have less political troubles, we have learned to deal with our problems with words and not with wars and weapon. We almost achieved full gender equality, everyone is treated the same :) What is more, we have good achievements in helping our planet! Of course, it’s a work in progress, but now we have a lot of eco-friendly products, electro-cars, factories, which have been polluted the Earth for so long, are now closed. This coronavirus thing really gave us a lesson, and no one wants it to repeat itself. And, if you are interested(of course you are), I’m doing pretty well! I’m finally getting along with my family, I have loved ones and I’m really lucky to be alive and happy! Your future is brighter than you think. Don’t give up and keep fighting, please, you got it. I believe in you and I love you(I know you probably needed to hear that) Cheer up, you beautiful loser :) Sincerely signed, you from the future.
My greetings, Gleb. I am writing you from 2030. I am going to tell you about world in the future. Our planet is exhausted. Very few resources left and environment is polluted. Countries are always in infinite war for resources, food and space for life. Progress was used in darkest aims. Chemical, biological and nuclear weapons destroyed world we known and loved .World turned into hell, where its impossible to live. You have to survive. And I am writing you with one aim. Tell you to be ready.
Hello Artem from the future. I was you ten years ago. Now the world is in chaos, the coronavirus is killing people, and the vaccine will only be available in a year. The dollar has gone up a lot, and I hope we have made money from it. I hope you're a tall, handsome, and very smart guy now. I think you're successful now and you have a girlfriend. I think you visit your parents often and love them even more. I hope you still have the friends I have now. I'm sure you are still the same kind, cheerful and sincere person. okay, I'll be you soon, good luck to me.
I wanted to write a regular letter, but I got a some kind of post-apocalypse thriller . I read a lot of books and researches on the subject of postapocalypse, so it's no surprise that I accidentally came to such a grim theme.
This is a letter to me from 2020. I am writing in the hope that you will believe me and prepare yourself for the consequences of plastic and pesticide use, forests cutting, coal burning etc. Because of this, many insects and plants have disappeared from the face of the earth, then started hunger, air and water pollution. In many states, anarchy has started. As early as 2019, 70% of all insects such as bees started to get sick and disappear. In 2025, honey prices rose rapidly because many beekeepers can’t continue their work. In 2027, a crisis in agriculture began and many plants had been withered. In 2029, there was a full-scale famine throughout the world, a crisis and wars over productive land began. Due to wars and the use of nuclear weapons, the average temperature on the land returned to the 1700s, with the average temperature falling by 5 degrees Celsius.
In 2030, countries have decreased by several times, most people live in city-states, while the rest have adopted a community-based and hermit-based way of life.
By the end of 2030, individual settlements are beginning to restore civilization without plastics and pesticides, in full harmony with nature. I hope that the new civilization will not make the mistakes of the old one.
Hi me from the past. I'm writing you from 2030. I can't believe that future will change our world so much. We don't have pets, we don't socialize. We only sit in the front of our computers. People in the future can't do simple things, such as washing floors, dusting or playing with their children. These usual for you things do robots and machines. We destroy nature and we don't have trees and plants. We breathe with simulated air and eat only genetic engineering food. So l hope that you and your generation won't make this mistake, I expect that you will safe our nature and bring your lives to the new point, when people will value what they have.
Ok, so, it's 2030 now. And I'm famous nowadays for my new invention - toaster with an interactive smile. Well, however, I had some mistakes in childhood. First of all I wish I had learned English on a high level, because now I live in Australia and it's quite difficult to live without English. Then, I wish I hadn't been greedy, we should help other people and spend enough money on charity, because our actions are like a boomerang. So, my life changed to a good way since I meet my new friend. And I'm happy to meet him, nowadays he's a good translator. And I wish I hadn't paid attention to another not good (terrible) person, who betrayed me, when I had bad times. Only one my friend was giving me advices, helping to solve my problems in that time. Also I wish I had listened to my parents... They said many things, that would help me to live. But I thought, that it's a stupidity.
A letter from myself to myself from 2030. Now is 2030. You just can't amazing how over world changed. People became smarter and created many useful things, like flying cars or little helicopters. So I bought one, and now fly by it to my work. I would like to tell that you should be braver, because there will be a lot of difficulties in your future. There will be many choices, so try to choose the best way. Who knows, maybe your life will be better than mine. Just listen your heart and never give up. I can't change your future, nobody can't do it. But I can demonstrate you that you should be you. Now I work on my favorite job, because I was I, and now I am. Be yourself!
I don't even know where to start... we haven't talked for so long) I'd like to see you in person and tell you everything, but I can't. I really want to support you, because I remember how you not believe the right decision, you made when choosing a Medical University, how you doubted your abilities. And all I can tell you is, don't give up, go ahead and do it, work and work again, and everything we've planned will come true. It seems that nothing global has happened in the last 10 years. By the way, don't worry, Italian scientists have invented a vaccine for this terrible virus and now everyone can hug and travel the world again) People have become more attentive to nature and the environment, everyone lives in peace and tranquility. I'd love to talk some more, but I have to run. Best wishes from Miami)
Thank you, Ira, for words "now everyone can hug and travel the world again". I hope that it will happen much earlier than 2030. I want to hug my daughter so much!
Hi, Polly! If you are reading this letter, it's 2020 now. It is one of the most difficult periods. Time to decide what life would you like to live, what is important for you, what can ignore, on which things should focus and spend more time. I can give you some advices. At first, don't follow only your heart. You should do thing which will bring you success, not only what you want. Also, it's good idea to write tomorrow's "to do list" every evening, don't forget about it. And please don't put off until tomorrow. Work hard for future. I really think that your decisions were right, don't be afraid. In near future you'll have a nephew. It's a good chance to spend more time with your family and help sister. Don't miss it. So... If you want something, work for it. With love from future
Hi, Liza! It's 2030 now. I'm writing you to tell about future. The situation in the world is better. The world has coped with the virus. Now people can travel wherever they want and still care about themselves and observe all the rules of hygiene. If to talk about you.. You should work hard to achieve your goals. Remember, no pain no gain! So work and never give up! What about technical progress? There are still no flying cars, but our scientists a re working on it :) Anyway, the nearest future is amazing, because people became conscious and responsible and have started to treat their lives more carefully.

ReplyDeleteQuite pessimistic. I'd prefer another message instead of 'Be ready!': 'Take action to stop it!'

You are absolutely right, Rostislav, that we must learn from our mistakes until it is too late.
