Hello all! Just a quick shoutout to everyone in the community. I had a blast getting to know everyone and bouncing ideas around in the forums. Thank you for the conversations!
Coming to the end of the first summer session for world history B over here in Arizona. I asked my students to consider the future. How different would it be from today's world? How many people would there be? How would they live? How long would they live? Would there be a world government or many small, local governments?
I also asked them to imagine a future that they did not like and asked the same questions as above.
We wrapped up the discussion imagining what the most likely scenario for the future would be and ended on the premise that it would probably be some of both the good and the less desirable.
AI was the huge winner in terms of impacting the world going forward. There were quite a few interesting job choices and the majority felt they could just get ready-made food in their own homes via machines.
Everyone have a restful and safe summer!
