Page 5 of 5 January 1st, 2065 - elections
But what really amazes me is their concept of "politics": usually, old people deciding for short term reasons what could be done, without considering the opinion of who will pay the consequences of their choices.
Well, when some 30 years ago finally each country had children voting rights and permanent education as basic rights, finally all the generations involved became part of the decisions.
I will turn 15 in few days, and I have been a representative on history issues for two years now- and everyday I receive from the cloud information from the people that voted for me: could you imagine that representatives used to be elected once every two-four-five years, and then do whatever they wanted.
Moreover: they almost never met or listened to their voters, as usually the representatives' meeting place was far away from the territory that elected them, and there was no simple way of connecting people- their Internet was just a way of transferring written information from one place to another.
But if I am lucky this year I have a chance to win the travel lottery to the Moon base- it would be funny, to carry out all the training to do the short trip from the top of the space station elevator to the Moon.
Once in a while I like to take the hyperspeed transport from Brussels to Berlin or Moscow, but at the top speed it is not that much long, and you do not need a special travel permit- like the XX century metro system that was then available.
I would like to visit New York once in a while, but until they complete the hyperspeed from Lisbon to New York, it is easier to have products travel from Brussels to New York than a person!
