What will the Future be?

What will the future be? How do you imagine it? Do imagine the mainstream version, or an alternative version?


Personally, I see the future like this. Cities will be filled with gleaming skyscrapers which will stretch like fingers towards the heavens. Streets will be filled with people doing this and that while electric cars pass by soundlessly. At night, the city becomes an array of colors. Neon lights everywhere advertising, lighting streets, drawing attention to different locations. The streets seem to glow with light being reflected off their glassy surfaces. Music fills the streets at night while acrobatics are performed during the day. Acrobats jumping between buildings and doing tricks with the unique architecture of the various things that covers the streets. Water is the common art; it pours off the sides of buildings into a spiral funnel that shoots it out in a stream across the street into the arch which drips the water down it's middle to form a wishing well. Stress is a rare thing since a large dome building provides relief for it. Within the dome are many platforms which hover in the middle of the air with people sitting, laying down, or standing upon them. It's surprisingly peaceful to be far off the ground in a quiet, humongous white dome.

Teens gather at music halls where they can rent their own room or group rooms and play any music they want. The light and colors follow the music and the way they dance. They're even able to walk on the walls and ceiling. Movie theaters use not only 3-D, but use feeling and scent too in their movies, almost putting the watcher into the movie itself. Outdoor malls have dominated indoor malls allowing stores to be put into odd places such as underneath a bridge, or balanced on top of supports which raise it off the ground.



I'm not sure if this is what the future's really going to be like, but, this is the way I'd want it. What about you?
