I say: If you could travel to the future, what would you do and why?
Each week we’ll choose readers’ responses to share. This week we want to know:
Many birthdays later
I would love to see what I look like when I grow up. And what would have happened to the world? Would things be better or worse? It would be fascinating to find out.

Technology marches on
I would like to do two things. First, I would like to see the new technology; for example, what would the TVs look like? Second, I would like to see myself in the future and talk to me.

I say: If you could travel into space, which planet would you visit?
Job of the future
I would try to find out what kind of job I am doing. At the moment, I don’t know what type of career I should choose. Things would become much easier if I knew what I would be doing in the future. Then, I could work harder towards achieving that goal.

STEM in the future
It would be so cool to check out the development of technology and medical research. For example, have scientists found a cure for cancer? Has artificial intelligence taken over the world? Also, has climate change made Earth a place where humans cannot live any more?

The state of climate change
I would like to time travel to 2068 – exactly 50 years from now – to see how Earth is doing. Has it been badly affected by global warming? I would bring a camera and take photos for my “Save the World” presentation. Travelling to the future would be such a wonderful experience.

A mirror in time
I would like to see what I will be doing in my daily life. I am curious to know what my job will be and if I like it. I also want to know whether I will be happy or sad. I hope I can travel to the future and see that I am happy!

New stories
I would like to chat with myself and see what I am doing. I would also like to read some new books. I wonder what the great detective, Sherlock Holmes, would be up to in future shows and stories. Maybe he is doing something different!
What’s more, I would like to chat with my younger brother when he grows up to be a teenager. Right now, he is too young to talk to me and he does not understand my situation. So, if I could talk to him when he is older, I could tell him a lot of stories and he could share more about himself, too. I am sure we would have a lot of fun!
