2057

I decided that although I looked into future images, they were all artist impressions, and most of which seemed to be for allot further into the future then I would need for this project idea. With this in mind I decided to look up how the world would be 50 years from now, and found a docu-drama series ( a vision of the future which relates to technology which is currently being developed) which was made in 2007.
Breakdown of information I found useful from:
2057: The City in 50 years:

• In the streets, everything is gathering gigabytes of information, including billboards, cloths, the street itself and buildings.
• People are living for longer, but having less children. Regions all over the world may become deserted because the birth rate is falling beneath the death rate.
• The change in population numbers could solve job and housing problems.
• 3d images which are not confided to a computer or TV screen will be the new way of viewing things. 
• Auto-matic self driving cards, with millions of chips in the road stopping any problems which may occur.
• City center- screens all over the building which spiral into the sky, taken over by nature itself.
• Billions of chips linking all major buildings, and it becomes a nerve center as though the city is a brain.
• Advance homes which can allow people in when your not there through linking micro chips to phones. Set the house to your exact requirements. Fridges which re-stock and check self by dates.
• Asimo learning robots which could even babysit children.

This program gave me a better idea of what the world would be like when I am older, so if I decide to take my project in this direction, I have a better idea of how to create my own visual concepts.
 
During own Graduation an honorary degree was given out to David Mitchell an novel writer originally from Malvern. During his speech he talked about what he would say if he spoke to his past self. Sadly because of the busy day I can not remember everything he said. But I do remember some of the main advice he said he would give himself would be about relationships and that some of the best knowledge he had seen was written on things such as magnets, simple short yet useful. This has also inspired some ideas for my project, thinking about what I would say to myself, or what I think I might say to me now from the future.
