So you're reading this sometime in the future, Yes? No? I'm going to go with yes. I don't know how far into the future, so I'll try not to make any wild estimations on how high your cars can hover or how streamlined your augmented reality implants are. Back in 2020, we are still trying to get over our abysmal internet speeds.
2020. What a time to be alive - and it's only May! America has a president who used to headline Wrestlemania, the biggest island in the world is still recovering from catching fire for 2 months. And in between these two hemispheres lies a global issue; Earth is facing that issue of when that one uninvited rocks up to the party. Coronavirus.
Now in the future, you might've not heard of this little pandemic. Don't worry, we were scratching our heads when this virus was being compared to the SARS epidemic of 2003, or even the Spanish Influenza post-WW1. Why care about some virus in the past?
It's over with now, how does that affect me in the present?
Well, that could be wrong. You could be dealing with your own virus. Perhaps something bigger. Perhaps something stronger. No one listened to Bill Gates when he predicted the next global crisis at that one TED talk, so try not to repeat history.
Compensation isn't too bad. Most students are screaming in excitement for online schooling. As a year 12 student, I'm just screaming. Everyone, however, is just taking it one day at a time.
So as you skim through these lines from some Australian in the past, try to get away from your hologram tablets (I couldn't help myself) and think about your today.
Think of how you can take it. One day at a time.
