MY DREAM
My
dream is a perfect dream, an ideal world, a UTOPIA.
Earth
is a peaceful world, free of the horrors of wars, diseases
and sicknesses. Violence is, but a specter of the past, an
evil phantom reduced to the dark shadows of its origin.
Racism no longer exists. People aren’t judged for being
dark skinned or fair, Asian, Lebanese, Russian, Indian or
Pakistani appearance. People are all equals, no poverty
exists here. Everyone is fairly treated whether they’re
short or tall, fat or thin, shy or bold – everyone has equal
rights.
Pollution does not exist on earth! Technology has allowed
us to keep our air clean, our waterways pure and our trees
healthy. Due to the fact that resources are not damaging our
planet and pollution has been eliminated, there is no
greenhouse effect! The Earth is in no immediate danger of
losing its Ozone Layer.
Hunting
has been erased from the memory of the human race. Animals
run, swim or crawl freely around the world. All meat is
artificial and contains all the necessary proteins, fats and
vitamins. Nature will be preserved. All natural wonders
would be looked up at and people would say, “Wow the world
is truly an amazing place. We’re so lucky to have such a
beautiful planet to live on.” Animals are free to roam
around the wonders as well as people. Animals have the same
rights as humans as well. Pretty amazing if you ask me, the
dreamer and creator of this fantasy.
Technology is so advanced; a gas that doesn’t create
pollution runs transport. Transport flies! Cars hover and
weave through and around buildings 300 storeys high. These
huge metropolises are home to billions of humans and other
bizarre creatures. Spacecraft take us to other worlds at a
cost of pressing a few buttons. These space ships travel at
the speed of light. Instead of phones, holographic
projectors beam images of the speaker. These could beam
images to any position in the galaxy. That’s right, the
galaxy!
We have
contact with aliens who also live on Earth. They also have
equal rights. Trades between the two races are common. The
aliens are not threatening, merely frightening, but only at
first. The aliens come from the planet Ainran. They helped
our planet become Utopia. In fact most of our technology
came from them. They are now part of our planet and society
forever. The aliens also introduced robotics to Earth.
These robots do many things for us. They take on the roles
of medics, scientist, translators,
taxi
drivers and even shopkeepers! Unfortunately these marvels
of science and technology have made some humans particularly
lazy.
Of
course, some humans have avoided these technological
advances and have started farming communities around the
planet. These people still use the sophisticated technology
of the other people but they avoid robotics at all costs.
They farm many resources and some of these are sold to the
cities.
Many
resources are gathered from nearby asteroids. Certain
asteroids contain large concentrations of metals, ores,
crystals and other substances. Huge mining facilities are
built on asteroids, which are dragged into orbit around
Earth. This process is quite complex. First, small scout
teams (robots and people) are sent to scale the giant rock.
Reports are transmitted back towards a nearby resource
centre.
Then
a team of robots is sent to the area to begin mining.
Asteroids can last in mining for 40 years a square km! A
small moon orbiting Jupiter holds all the resources required
on Earth. All sorts of resources that may damage the Earth
if used are taken from this small moon, now known as ‘secruoser’.
Luckily this moon has a really fast recovery rate. This
means that everything taken will appear again in 2 weeks.
In my
dream wood comes from Earth still. Only one tree has been
cut down in this Golden Age. The tree’s cells were then
duplicated to give large quantities of wood. This type of
cloning is so advanced that none of the wood’s quality is
lost at all! The original wood is kept in the
National
Natural
Museum.
It is now illegal to use true wood.
Another
rare and special resource is Dolg, a rich, gold type of
metal only found on Mercury. Impossible to get you say.
No! With the new mercury D-CIA robots it is quite easy. A
small heat proof shuttle drops a team of droids onto the
death globe and quickly leaves and orbits Venus so it
dosen’t burn up. The droids start mining quickly, as their
circuits will fry up from the heat (over 700 c) in 2 weeks.
Many times these missions have failed destroying the droids
and their shuttle. A new model is currently being produced
made of Dolg. Dolg is 100% protected from the heat of
mercury.
Our
Earth has faced Armageddon many times before. We now have
super laser defense system which fires nuclear missiles at
asteroids and meteors capable of wiping out Earth. Of
course, extremely big ones can only be knocked off course.
Another
big part of my dream is the food. There are so many
different types of food now it’s incredible. Everyone gets
food for free and everyone shares. Not one single living
thing on the planet goes without food. Not even a dog will
be allowed to starve for two seconds. Not even a blade of
grass will go unwatered. This shows how much the beings care
for each other all the time. If this were true in our world
today, it would be a perfect world.
Education is very easy in my dream. As soon as a child is
born he or she becomes a citizen. As a citizen, at the age
of 5 until the child is 18 all necessary information is
downloaded into the brain. Pretty cool if you ask me!
After this however they still have to go to University and
study properly to get a job. There are fewer jobs than
before however, due to the fact that robots do lots of
work. If you get a good job, you are helping out the
society.
This is
the end of my dream. Perhaps it is impossible. A child’s
fantasy. Maybe I’ve completely lost it. Well, whichever it
is, it doesn’t change my dream at all. My dream is what we
should be. What we want to be. Not fighting and poverty,
but the choice and right to be free. I think, that deep
down, everyone desires a utopia, probably nothing like
mine. I have only voiced what I think is a dream. If peace
and unity like this were a possibility at the moment, I’d be
the happiest person in the galaxy. What if a Utopia like
this really does exist? What if this is the world to come?
We always want to be better, have more, to improve. Maybe
some of us need to think about this, do we really want all
of this stuff? Or should we just be happy with what we have,
and try to make the best of it? Some of us would be better
off with just a little bit more money (the poor anyway).
Everyone would be better off without war. Maybe our dream is
living with what we already have: a well-balanced world. |
