The future as a concept is either fun or dystopian when portrayed in media, and usually evokes some sense of optimistic hope for technological advancement, message of warning about our current course of actions, or a rugged survival story in an exaggerated version of today's society, but the future outside of media is different. It promises the same highs and lows, sure, but it also holds something fearful that media doesn't have to worr about as you or i. Aging is an aspect of this, hardly scratching the surface of the real predicament, as the future turns into the present and the past in the blink of an eye. I've been trying to document my past on social media, but find myself getting caught up in appearances and the struggle of deciding which memories to preserve. If you'd like to check out my daily photo diary, here's the instagram where you can see the current backlog I've been working up the courage to face. The future might seem frightening in many ways, just as memories can be daunting to consider when pitted against the vast realm of the forgotten, the plethora of moments in between, but it is also beautiful. Here in The Future, I invite you to join me in enjoying what may come to pass, celebrating media that gives us hope or empathy or cause for thought, and discussing the technology at the root of so many of our visions for the future (and the role we play in deciding where it takes us).
