IMAGINE 8 - Me At 100 Years Old
The year is 2092. I've decided to visit my house I grew up in and the hospital I was born in. Unfortunately, my parents haven't made it to this year, but I'm happy to say my sister and my cousins are alive and well. Near the 22nd century, being a hundred is less uncommon than it was a hundred years ago.
While I was growing up through the teen years, my adult years, and my senior years, and I've seen things change. During my teen years, I've heard warning of crisis-es; global warming, debt, religious conflicts, wars, and natural disasters. Reports of these problems guaranteed hardships on the human race and the planet. During my adult years, I've helped develop ways to reduce or solve these problems first-hand, alongside a surprising number of EVOKE members. I've been able to do that, and work on my passions. I've slowed down a bit when I turned 80, but I'm still very happy of all my accomplishments. I received a congratulatory letter from the government, thanking me for my accomplishments.
Diseases at birth have been completely eliminated, HIV/AIDS has been cured, scientists now know how to regrow full arms and legs, as well as fully functioning organs, thanks to the very controversial stem cell research in the early 21st century. Thankfully, religious disputes have died down, and no one is characterized based on their religion. On top of that, much less make irrational and illogical decisions based on their choice of religion. Extremism is basically non-existent.
We've moved back a little bit in certain technologies. We grow our crows without pesticides or anything that disrupt the natural order of things. People have much less cancer, less heart disease, less diabetes, because we understand and have properly communicated the interaction of food with humans.
At 100, many things have changed. For example, the definition of Indigenous has changed. In 2010, indigenous meant an ethic group that have been with a geographic location for the longest time. Now, indigenous means someone who has been in a town for at least 40 years. Or, if they haven't been in the town for 40 years, they should have a single generation that's lived in their town for at least 40 years. After then, they have their name printed in an electronic book, and they have a say in town hall meetings. Their votes count a little bit more than non-indigenous people, but only for town hall matters. It doesn't count for voting in provincial or national matters. That's what it's like in my town; every town has a different definition of indigenous.
I think I'm happier than ever at 100. I have accepted death as a very real possibility, because this day could realistically be my last. I understand what I want in life, and through wisdom that has been acquired throughout a century, I know how to get it. Funny to think this has started because I've been playing video games and joined an online game site called 'Urgent Evoke'...
"Regrets? I've had a few,
But then again, too few to mention.
I did what I had to do
And saw it through without exemption.
I planned each charted course -
Each careful step along the byway,
And more, much more than this,
I did it my way."

I read yours as well, Koshy. You seem to care a lot about autism, that'd be great if we could find a cure in the next few years.

Food was bought up xawayx at once. There were no more food supplies in any shops. The economy was all crushed down. All the…See More

The exchange works directly for state and public workers and servants. It gives them credit in exchange for the amount of public work they contribute to the community. The more constructive they are based off a base rate the more credit they recieve.
