Firstly, how did we even get here? I'm not meaning evolution and all that science stuff. I mean like how lucky are we that we're alive. If we were never born, we obviously wouldn't experience anything like we do today. How crazy is that? We didn't exist before we were born; we were destined to be created. And when we die, who knows where we end up. Another world? Or do we just die and that's it?
Whenever I think about my future after university which seems like worlds away right now, I often wonder what I'll be like. No one is the same person they were 5 years ago. As my old history teacher would say (By old I mean he doesn't teach me anymore, not that he's actually old) "Can you remember what you felt 5 years ago? No? That's because that person is dead. That person does not exist anymore". I can't imagine myself in my mum's position. Will I even be a mother? Who knows. What happens when I grow old and can't fully look after myself independently anymore? The future terrifies me.
What else baffles me is what will the world be like when I'm say 50. So in about 30 years time, will we still have mobile phones? Or will we be controlled by technology itself? Would people laugh at us and think "Wow, they actually had to carry their devices around with them!" as they talk to each other sat down in a chair with techy glasses on, which allows them to do everything with a touch of a button.
The future is a scary place and even thinking about it gets me creeped out.
