Weekend Assignment #324: America 2062 NOW CLOSED!
Next Tuesday is my birthday, I am not quite 50 yet, but when I was a little girl I liked to sit and imagine what the world, more specifically, America, would be like when I reached 50! Having nearly arrived at my goal age, I am now aiming for another 50 years! So, in honor of my 48th birthday, I want you to search your imaginations, and tell what I can expect in the year... 2062!
Extra Credit: Tell me, is the world anything like you imagined it would be when you grew up? What's different? What's the same?

I was feeling lame posting with my lame response, but since no one else has posted yet: I'm over it.

ReplyDeleteHappy 49th birthday Carly!
This prompt makes me feel all science-fictiony.
ReplyDeleteAlso... maybe a little political.
