The future is unclear and kind of dark, as shown in the picture. There is light within the picture which signifies a type of hope; however the source of this light comes from industrious facilities, such as car head lights and shop windows. So this hope would lead to a more technological era, which can be mysterious because back in the industrial revolution era, technology embraced society. But in the 20th century I feel as if it is destroying our earth, more than helping us.

Realistically I don't think this craze for instant gratification and innovation is going to change by 2020, so that is why I chose this futuristic style building in Las Vegas by Treasure Island to show that. I also took this photo at night to create this mysterious, sort of dark effect to it, because from where I am standing, the future looks myseriously deceiving (dark, grim in a bad way but not fully, with a little light of hope in the picture).

The past, present and future must possess an everlasting youth. AS time proceeds, one's curiousity and exuberance must not fade. A will and desire to live must act as a constant, traveling flawlessly throughout time.
