Task: Write a brief essay (Between 250 to 350 words) on how you see the future compared to the given points expressed by the author in this story.
- In comparing my vision of the future to the ideas presented in "The Pedestrian," I see a world that combines technological progress with human connection. While "The Pedestrian" depicts a dystopian future where technology replaces human interaction, I envision a future where technology complements our lives without replacing genuine relationships. I believe that advancements like AI and automation will make tasks more efficient, giving us more time for meaningful interactions and personal development.
Furthermore, unlike the isolated and controlled society portrayed in the story, I imagine a future where technology promotes inclusivity, creativity, and global collaboration. The potential for virtual reality, remote work, and online platforms to connect people from different cultures enliven my spirit, offering opportunities for cultural exchange and mutual understanding.
In summary, while "The Pedestrian" cautions against a future dominated by technology at the expense of human connection, I believe in a future where technology is a tool to enhance our lives and bring us closer together.
