6. Time travel to the future

Welcome everyone to your sixth blogging assignment. This time you will have to write about time traveling to the future. You should then answer the following questions:

  • Where would you like to go?
  • What time in the future?
  • Would you like to stay there? Why? /Why not?
  • Upload pictures

Important:

Make comments on three of your classmates' posts + a comment on my post too.

The word-count this time is no less than 220 words.

Do you enjoy travelling? I really do. Travelling allows us to learn about different places, different people, different cultures and different kinds of lifestyles…and it’s exciting!

When I was a child, I grew up in a Christian family and one of my first visual memories of church at that time are one religious wall painting behind the priest pulpit and some framed posters aside. I was too little to be interested in the sermon at that time so, every Sunday evening I would stare at these paintings over and over again. Now, you may wonder: What is the link to time traveling?

One of the framed posters aside was "the broad and narrow way", which represents a way of travelling to heaven or hell. Now, you might find it hilarious, but even though I think I cared somehow about the final destinations in the poster (because you know it's kind of shocking seeing that kind of pictures when you're a child) what really exited me about it was the fact of having this people travelling. I wanted to travel everywhere: to the centre of the earth, the past, other continents, the outer space, the future...

I also remember that one of my favourite comics at that time was "Ogu and Mampato". We had this kind of silent reading mode at primary school every week, so I would bring my comic to read it. I think that I would have loved being part of a time travel experiment.

I’ll never forget when I asked my father to buy me a telescope so I could put it next to my bed and see everything out my window or look up at the stars and imagine that one day I would be able to travel to the outer space, like we travel across the world, but we didn't have enough money at that time.

You can imagine my face of amazement when we got our first video cassette player and recorder! More than a distraction, I felt it like another way of traveling. Can you guess the first film we watched on it? It was "Back to the future", of course.

Even though I haven't done much travelling. I am sure I'll visit many more places in the future.

In the mid-term future, I wish I could travel all over the world because there is just so much to see and enjoy. However, some special countries, which I would really like to visit in no more than two years, are England, France, and Italy because, in my opinion, these countries have the perfect mix of vibrant culture, history and modern comforts, and also because they have some breath-taking natural beauty. They are the perfect place to start an adventure. In fact, if I had to stay in one place of those countries, it would be Genoa for far, because it is a nice coastal city. 

If someone asked me right now if I wanted to travel to the future in a time travel machine, I would definitely say "yes", not to stay there, but to see how life on this planet has changed for good or bad after 100 years, and if the human being has been able to solve or not the climate crisis. Then, who knows...having a time machine opens so many places and years to be seen.

After reading this, don't you have the impression of having traveled to my childhood somehow? 😲

  13. Hello! ... Like you, I have many things to do, perhaps the real problem of humans is our short life. Without a doubt, it is amazing to think about time travel. In my opinion, outer space is the closest we have to being time travelers. Today it is known that large masses can distort time so perhaps at some point in our evolution we will have the tools ... for now everything is part of our imagination and we can only enjoy it by watching great best sellers. regards!
