What lies ahead
Desi Tartova

Future is one of the most interesting topics for us, humans. And generally speaking, there are ones who think that the end of the world is not so far away; others who say that present is not half as interesting and fascinating as the future would be; and third ones who… haven't really thought about it. Nevertheless, I'm not sure what to believe in. I, personally, am not in any of these groups. Without doubt the world as we know it is getting better – life standard, technology and etc. But if we forget who we are and where we come from it would be equal to an end – maybe not to the world but to the people in it. It is easy to speak about the perfect new technology I imagine but I prefer to speak about the changes which human society would meet. People are becoming meaner and closed in themselves. Some look bored from life – as if they didn’t want to be here. Others are happy only if they had made someone's life harder. Is this really our best? We could be better and save our future. Start with something simple – when you walk to school or work tomorrow morning, smile to the faces you see – give an example. Who knows? Your smile could make someone's day better!
