Part 1
“Good Morning Mr. Attig. It’s 6:45 am. You need to leave for work in one hour. Would you like me to warm the shower up for you?”
“Yes, Siri. Thank you. Project my calendar and read the daily headlines.”
“Right away, Mr. Attig.”
As I open my eyes, and lift my head, the wall facing my bed displays my calendar, current events, messages, and weather information. I go up to it and read what looks interesting as my shower warms up and my 3d printer finishes up making the new shoes I downloaded on Amazon the night before. Then as siri tells me the shower is ready, I grab my tablet and drag an article about a manned space team going back to Mars from the wall onto it, and bring it into the bathroom to mount it on the wall of the shower as I get ready for the day.
The world in the year 2025 will be much different than the world we know today. Talking to your house will be normal, your car will drive you to work in the morning, and everything--and I mean everything--will be automated. Technology is already becoming an indispensable part of our daily lives, and it will continue to grow exponentially. If it continues on this trend, then all of the futuristic predictions that seemed impossible only 20 years ago will be a reality.
The news will be a lot different than it is today as well. Most of the big news groups that tried to stick with the ad-fueled news will have failed, and only the large conglomerates with enough money and know-how to adapt will have stayed afloat. However, with the increasing accessibility of the internet and wearable technology, first-person Citizen Journalism will have changed the way we get news. Now instead of news being filtered through a news agency, first responders to news events cover what’s going on in order to inform the masses. News agencies are reserved for more in-depth coverage of events, and use a low cost subscription fee for readers who want real critical coverage of events and opinions. News Agencies are nowhere near as popular in 2025 as they were in 2014. They will have lost a lot of trust by then.
By having everything automated and immediately accessible, people’s patience will drop drastically, and they will have a feeling of entitlement to free information. But as a result, we will be able to solve big problems more quickly and effectively due to this freedom of information and accessibility of products and items.
Part 2
If I could change one thing in the Czech Republic to make everyone’s lives better, I would get rid of all of scary, dangerous elevators, and replace them with nice, smooth, safe elevators for everyone to enjoy their ride to work in. Also, I’d put elevators in all of the buildings that don’t currently have them. Let’s be honest. No one enjoys climbing up four flights of stairs just to get back to their home.
Besides being convenient for everyone and making ascending to the top floor instantaneous, it would also have many benefits for handicapped people. Prague, as it exists now, is not handi-capable by any means. Most buildings don’t have elevators, and the ones that do are usually too small to fit a wheelchair inside, and they have uneven floors from the elevator to the outside platform. Replacing all of the elevators in Prague would be a huge improvement for everyone, especially the elderly and handicapped.
