(specific) A letter to people in 2050 Dear friends from the future, Greetings from the past! We are currently living in an exciting time that is full of amazing discoveries, especially in science and technology. Some especially important technologies that we use today are the Internet and artificial intelligence, without which the smartphone would not be possible. I have placed a typical smartphone in the time capsule for you to see. The smartphone is a relatively new invention, but these days people could hardly live without it. It is extremely important for most people because it makes our lives more interesting and convenient. We use the smartphone for many things besides messaging and calling, such as surfing the Internet, shopping online, and using virtual directions. I also have a lot of photos on it about my daily life, such as the food I eat, the clothes I wear and the sport I play. I wonder if you still use smartphones in the future or if you instead use some type of smart implant technology! In the future, I hope that you will have a more balanced life with technology. I sometimes think that we rely too much on it. While I do not want to lose the advantages smartphones and other technologies bring, it would be nice for people to spend a bit less time using them. That is all for now! I hope you enjoyed seeing what life is like in my time! Yours, Jessie Chen Lavf58.12.100 Lavf58.76.100 $$
