In 2024, Alex will be 20 years old.  I asked her yesterday afternoon what she thinks the world will be like when she's that age.  Here's what she said.

1.  I hope there will be floating chairs​.

2.  There will be many different people of all types who won't have to work at the same jobs they do now -- they can make up their own jobs and work at it.​

3.  There will be fields and fields of flowers everywhere.​

4.  People will dance and sing and feel free to do whatever they want.​

5.  I hope the government will make smoking illegal.​

6.  I hope that archeologists find even more fossils than they have already.

7.  I hope that schools will help students do the kinds of work the students are passionate about, and encourage them to learn about those things.​

8.  ​I hope that there won't be any more wars.

9.  I hope that people don't litter anymore and that everyone cares about the environment.​

10.  I hope that when people come out of their cocoons like butterflies, and they don't feel very beautiful, that other people who meet them will see how beautiful they​ actually are and love them.
