What Will Teenagers Be Like In 100 Years

What will Teenagers Be Like in 100 Years.


This is an interesting title, and it's quite thought-provoking too. So without ado, let's start !

We might not live to see the teenagers in the next 100 years, but who knows, maybe someone invents life-prolonging technology. In 100 years, teenagers will be less...curious to the environment and everything else. Since with  the advancement of technology, basically every single information that a human could ever want can be found with a single press of a button. Given that we're already able to do that right now, it's now only a matter of time when humans are able to download data directly into their brains.

Unless biotechnology or the current state of the environment improves, humanity's look will deform. Really badly. Evolution sometimes bring surprises. In an attempt to overcome the damages we caused to the environment, we might just created another environment, a volatile one for our future generations to adapt and overcome. This might bring about the term science fiction movies or books adore to use - "Homo Novus" the next step in human evolution. Stronger, faster and smarter than before, they look ugly due to their ability to resist harsh environments.

Currently in the year 2018, teenagers love to use their technology on hand, such as the smartphone or maybe even a desktop. This all will change in the next two decades. As augmented reality becomes a "reality", teenagers will switch from using devices and interact with a virtual environment, fully equipped with sensors to feel whatever their doing in games or that one drama which has 500 chapters in a season. Hell, maybe they even get to star in that drama. Who knows, I have a lot of friends that are addicted to these kinds of things...

As for their cultures, you can be sure there will be a lot of them preserving them. Maybe they would even spread it with other cultures, or even mix it ! Who knows, 100 years is a lot of time. A lot of things can happen.

Don't think too much on the future. If the humans now don't solve problems that are currently existing, we might not have humans in the future, let alone in Mars.

Writing a 10 word story

Welcome back folks. Sadly, it seems that third time isn't a charm. Oh well, back to basics. Anyway, I hope you had a good week. I'm sure many of you had written essays throughout your lifetime. Whether its an essay for school which is usually 200 ~ 400 words long, a story (length may vary) or even a thesis paper (thousands). Depending on your age and level of English education of course. Personal record, 13 thousand words in a story named Chrono Switch . I assume you already read the title and hence clicked on this post for... actually why did you clicked on this post? Either way, we were instructed to write a ten word story, with the word "spooky" being mandatory in the story. And with Halloween coming around the corner, I can see why they picked that specific word. I too, enjoy writing weird story that are outfitted with details and character development. So writing a ten word story is quite an interesting challenge. Coming up with something with a broad theme...

The Philosophy of Tetris

"I am the man who arranges the blocks, that continue to fall from up above..." I believe most of you of you know what Tetris is. Most of you are likely to have played it, or at least heard about it. Be it the charming 8-bit music, the satisfying beep after a line is completed, or just the blocks that fall into place one by one, filling the gaps, I"m sure that we all can agree upon the fact that Tetris is one of the best classic game we have ever played. While I was revisiting the game, trying to break another player's high score, I realize that, even in a simple game such as Tetris, which has the main goal of trying to get the best score you can through stacking blocks and aligning them, I can't help but think of the true meaning of Tetris. So today, let's explore the philosophy behind the Tetris. Keep in mind, that this is my opinion. Feel free to judge... constructively. First concept You don't have to be perfect to fit in Before we jump into...

Story starting with a sentence given by Pn Monica

L. ------ Ping.. My mobile phone lit up with a message from Pn. Monica.... It was a late Friday night, and after a long week people are surely tired and wanted to take a break. The message started a lot of distraught, since people wanted to take a break on a Saturday. "Please go to the library tomorrow. I have an important task for you." Sure enough, the request sparked a lot of questions in the group chat, varying from asking why do we have to go to school on a Saturday, or how important this task is, to mindless puns and jokes about said task. Following morning, we gathered in the library, chattering about what a hassle it is to get out of bed on a warm, cozy, Saturday morning. Just when the crowd began to get heated on discussing what they're going to do, Pn Monica emerges from her office, and carrying a thick book inscribed in an language that none of us has seen before. She place the thick book down on the table with a loud thump. "That's one h...
