The World in 400 Years

            In four hundred years I see the world as a very different place. Mostly with advancements in technology people will be able to complete tasks more efficiently, effectively involving less effort. With this said I think that people will start to heavily rely on these technological advancements and the way people think and do things will change. With them relying so much on these things I think people will start to get lazy and less active as they would not have to work at something because of these inventions that they use to do the work for them. People will probably get over weight and less healthy, because of this lack of movement and work needed to remain fit and healthy. Also with social media being around so long by then, I think that it would then become apart of human life for communicating with one another. As people would find it easier to sit and their computer or what ever they might have then to talk to each other than actually going out and meeting each other. Already we see this in our society except at a lesser state. People much less frequently call each other to actually talk to them. Instead they just text or chat with them on facebook as it is much quicker for them. With this lack of true connection from one another people could change in the way they interact. People may not gain the proper social skills that develop over time as you communicate and some people might not be able to express themselves which each other as we can today. In conclusion I see society in four hundred years being much easier and efficient then today but with these advancements which would bring this efficiencies will hamper the growth of humans.

Found Poem

Have you seen this dog?

He is...
Like a gentleman and a scholar
Like a warlock from mars
Like Chuck Norris' Beard
Like a one punch knockout
Like seeing you favorite band rock your world in a live concert
I'm asking because I want this dog

We wanted to make a relatively funny poem so people who would walk by would smile or laugh and have a better day.

Suffering Sailor
Lost out in the dark blue sea
To what he just read

The message is that the sailor is suffering from the news he just read.
