My Generation and the Future

In the end, I am both nervous as well as excited. My generation in the future will have many serious challenges to face, yet also many wonderful and exciting things as well! Here are some personal thoughts about the cons and pros (save the best for last!) about my generation and our future! Please note, I am not a scientist and the following are just opinions. I was just bored and wanted something to do...

Negative Future

• Environment: Devastation of forests, greenhouse gasses, pollution, toxic chemicals, etc... contribute negatively to the world
• Privacy: Computers and social connections, government internet tracking and more in such a digitalized world will privacy almost instinct!
• Handwriting extinct: The skills of handwriting is sadly a dying art as phones, computers and other technologies take over our lives. Now we must only speak and technology such as Apple's Siri can write for us.
• Social skills: Less physical interaction with people can take away social skills and even produce more anxiety and depression due to isolation.
• Healthcare crisis: The baby boomers will be reaching the age where heal care is needed in daily life. The Canadian healthcare system is already stressed without a generation of boomers to worry about

Positive Future

• Improved medicine/ technology in healthcare: Possible lengthened lifespan from new medicine and medical practices
• More green energy development: Hopefully, the world will move towards a higher usage of renewable energies such as wind and solar
• Space: Development of the commercial and private sectors will make space travel available to a higher number of people than ever before
• Transportation: Easier means of transportation. From new, more efficient cars to better aircraft and cleaner boats
• Politics: Possible that our generation is a lot more proactive and accepting than generations before
