picture of the «future»
We are all time travellers, there is no way out of it, we are unavoidably on our way to the future, we cannot stand still in time. Here you can document what you would like to take into the future with you and what you would like to loose. What objects that we use today, will you be needing (or wanting) in the future? List and illustrate the places, views, tools, toys and trinkets, people, animals and all that you want to find in the future in the left column, and get rid of what you find completely unnecessary, un-useful or distasteful in the garbage bin on the right.
