How does it feel to live in the year 2175?

Descriptive Essay
I no longer remember what it was like to wake up and hear some chirping of the birds. Today is
my 181th birthday, I'm already as old as a turtle. I did not sleep tonight because I was
observing the empty landscape from the window of my room. Rather, I was thinking about the
dream I had and how true our ideas about the future were, for me today. The search for
immortality and eternal youth does not reflect happiness. I have already lived a long time I
know that the world as it is now, still hiding secrets to discover but I do not know how much
more I can bear.

For now, my memories of the past hold me up. When I was 5 years old, I used to watch the
children's series called "Los Supersonicos" in Spanish. It was an animated series about a family
from the future. I remember well the chapter when the son of the family could not sleep
because he suffered from nightmares. And his mother, in order to help him, programmed his
dreams. The mother just by pressing a button could choose what kind of dream she was going
to have that night. Just like once, we chose movies or series on Netflix. Today that is possible,
just by laying your head on the pillow you fall asleep immediately and dream what you chose
to dream before lying on your bed. It seems to be splendid, but it becomes boring. Well, we no
longer have those dreams that surprise us.

I live on the top floor of a 300-story building. Having 4 professional careers in molecular
biology and medicine opened the doors for me to live comfortably. The other two professional
careers are not very important in these years. Some days I can see how sunlight enters through
the windows; other days I watch how little robots took what used to belong to the birds. These
robots can do anything you can imagine. They are very useful, because they save you the trips
you can make to try food from different countries. Yes, we can order delivery food from
abroad. It is interesting to look back on how the world has become what it is today.

In closing, I must thank whoever can read this writing from the future. From what I was
describing, do not believe that the world is worse now in the future. Now everything is in
balance, since we managed to work on clean energy. It was even possible to rescue many
species of extinct fauna and flora and recompose the environment. However, humans are the
ones who live with a constant inner emptiness.
