What stood out was how closely linked we will be in the new millennium. Lives around the world will be more interwoven than ever before - through technology, through the environment and through schools. The world will be what you make it. Imagine a world where all the cars are electric - and everyone car pools to work or school. Or kids can walk to school, even in winter, because sidewalks are smooth and warm from underground heating.
All kids carry a small, extra-light laptop computer in their backpacks.
No way you can forget homework - it's on the computer. During latch-key, you play games on computers no bigger than a key chain. You haven't had any sick days from school because your food contains all the vaccines you need to stay healthy. You've got pen pals around the world on your computer. You yak with friends and neighbors on-line, too.
