Hello, Future People

Hello, future people! My name is Scarlett. It is 2026 right now, and I want to tell you a little about the past and my family. I am a 10-year-old girl who loves soccer. I live in a neighborhood with a lot of kids. Now I’ll tell you some more things about me. I’m homeschooled, I love planning things, and listening to music. I also have a little sister, and she is about to turn 7. You probably think she’s homeschooled too, but she’s not, she goes to the elementary school where I used to go. Then there’s my parents. My dad is a programmer, and my mom helps around the house.

Right now this house is being built, and the land around it started with my great-great-great-grandpa. He founded it in 1915, so it’s been in my family for more than 100 years! My grandparents currently live a little down the street from where we are building and have a lot of land.

Let me tell you a little about what is happening in my time. Rockets are still trying to make it to Mars, flying cars just got invented, and most people wear Apple Watches. Also, the main way people travel far away is by airplane, and AI is starting to change the world.

Now I have some questions for you. Did rockets make it to Mars? Do self-driving cars drive around everywhere? How many robots are there? Things that you think are normal, probably sound crazy to me. The world changes so fast, so I advise you to make a time capsule. Just like how you got to see what it was like in 2026, someone will get to see what it’s like in your time. I hope you got a feel for what it was like in 2026. Have a great life, you only have one.
