Kids predict the future

by

Kids are asked what they think the next decade holds in store.  Here are a few of their answers:

  • I think there will be a robot who will be able to clean my room, brush my teeth, tuck me in at night, read me stories, and find a soft place for me to sit.   Sarah, Age 4
  • People will be friendlier because they can talk to each other on more than one phone.  Morgen, Age 5
  • I think all of the animals will be dead in 10 years because America is polluting too much. People who aren’t married won’t have dogs, cats, fish, or any other type of house animal.  Lexi, Age 8
  • I think in 10 years there will be a device that makes monkeys talk to you in English. It will be the next big hit in the U.S.  Justin, Age 8
  • Robots will take over the world.  They will have lasers.  Jacob, Age 9
  • Everybody will have a jet pack.  Dylan, Age 7
  • I think that 10 years from now, songs will be a lot shorter – maybe like a couple paragraphs long because 10 years before now, the songs were a lot longer than they are today. I also think that 10 years from now, the environment will be cleaner. A lot of people now are making a difference in our environment, so I think all the hard work will be paid off.  Elise, Age 11
  • There may not be any blue sky.  Annie, Age 11
  • I think that there will be money trees. People always say that money doesn’t grow on trees, but I think that will be wrong.  Jessica, Age 9

I’m rooting for Jessica’s prediction.
