At a young age I believed the future was going to be just like the Jetson's. Flying cars, connivence of every level, and a robot named Rosie. It was a perfect utopia. Perfect idea. The world had stop trying to conquer the world and decided to take the air. That was the image/idea back then. Unfortunately as I grew up that idea slowly got beaten down by reality.
THAT SUCKS.
Today in class my teacher was talking about post modernism. That there's an pessimistic outlook on life. That there is no future rather a lot of nostalgic thoughts. She questioned what was a causing factor to that outlook. I, quite shy whispered "Recession" it wasn't the answer that she was looking for. But she began to touch up on that subject. She started apologizing for her generation. Saying that they had it good. Now we've left you a world on fire. Then she said please change it. You make the future. Then as the history lesson went on. It started connecting art and it's role in the world. How it affects not only the cultural aspect of society but social and political. I mean what is art?! Right? Practically everything and anything. They formed life. We might not notice it but it's there just as natural air and water. Ugh it was the inspiration and reassurance I needed today. It was perfect.
