When you are 100 years old, what local secret will you pass on?
You are yourself, at the age of 100.
You are an elder of your community -- of your village, or your city, or your country, or your planet. What local secret will you pass on?
Remember, it's far in the future -- it's whatever year you will be 100 years old in. It's the year 2094 if you are 16 years old in the year 2010, or 2089 if you're twenty-one, or 2080 if you are thirty.
Many things in our world will change between now and then. Who knows what we will consider an "indigenous community" that far in the future?
"Indigenous" means "native to a land or region, particularly before contact with other cultures." Today, it mostly describes native people living in villages. But what will "indigenous" describe in the future?
Stretch your imagine as far as it can go. Will Cape Town and San Francisco be considered "indigenous cities" in the future -- and if so, compared to what? Will Italy and Brazil be "indigenous nations" -- and if so, what would that mean? Will Earth be an "indigenous planet"?
Your objective:
Imagine yourself at the age of 100, and write or record an urgent message to the world passing on YOUR elder's wisdom. What piece of wisdom about your local environment and eco-system will you want to help share with far-flung cultures, or future generations?
This objective is worth +21 vision.

When I am 100, I will pass on information about how to conserve what you have, because it is likely that there will be very few resources that far into the future.

when I am 100, I will pass down the secret that life is a cycle. When you do something wrong, something is going to do you wrong.

When I am 100 years old I will pass on the most valuable information I have. This will probably be how to grow crops and livestock traditionally (as opposed to the techniques used in the future) at this time.

In the year 2100, I will teach my children that you will always have to work to be successful in life, no matter how much it seems like you won't have to.

When I am 100, I would tell people how bad the earth was meaning how we didn't care for it and that we should not take advantage of earth.

When I am 100, I would pass down my religion's beliefs and knowlege of past events. This would influence their learning and allow them a better understanding of the world. They would hopefully pass these things down to their children and so on.

When I am 100, I will pass on knowledge. In the future technology will probably do everything for us, then there is no use in learning.
