ON THE FUTURE
By Lenora
Washington
By the year 2001, we will be eating
out of packages. Our food will be instant. Canned food
will be a thing of the past. By the year 2001, we could
have a black President because by that time the world
will be ready for one.
Women will be more able to take care
of themselves. They will be more independent; they will
no longer need a man to lean on to survive. I am not
saying that women won’t need men because I don’t think
they can live without each other.
As far as technology is concerned, it
will be far more advanced in many fields such as
television. I think one day soon we will be able to turn
on our television just by pushing a button on the wall.
I also think cars will look like something out a
Jetson’s movie.
Everything will work by remote
control. You won’t have to lift a finger to anything
because things will be so easy that people will become
lazier than ever before.
Through it all, some things will be
better, and some things will be worse. Crime is on the
rise; people are dying in the streets. If we don’t put
an end to crime by the year 2001, we will be extinct.
Black people are killing off each other. Unless we put
God in our life, everything we worked for will all be in
vain. In order for things to get better, we must put an
end to crime and drugs on our streets.

THE YEAR OF 2001
By
Laverne Woolfolk
In the year of 2001, I hope there
will be some drastic changes made. Now you got the
younger generation killing each other over drugs. It
really doesn’t make sense. You got innocent little
children getting killed for nothing. I really hope by
then every one will wise up and don’t bother with drugs.
If things don’t soon change, this world will be in a
total uproar that we won’t be able to live in.
Just look at how our people are being
destroyed by that dangerous disease called A.I.D.S. I
hope that scientists invent some medication to stop the
disease. If things keep going on like now by the year of
2001 or before, the disease will be like a common cold.
By the year of 2001, I picture the
world to be a much peaceful place to live in. As you
know there is only one GOD, and I hope everyone in the
world will get together and worship GOD anywhere or in a
nice church.
I also hope the government have
enough money so that the poor people won’t have to
suffer from the budget cuts. And as for myself, I will
have a good job and living happy with my family in a
nice peaceful world.

The Future
By Linda
Crumpton
In ten years from now, I believe that
this world will be full of lost souls and lost minds
because everything will be computerized. People just
aren’t preparing themselves for that. Computers will be
one hundred percent of our employment.
I hope to have enough knowledge about
computers stored into my brains to compete, either
working to repair them or working towards forming groups
to keep them from talking people’s jobs. If computers
are going to be employer and employee, then where will
that leave me if I don’t learn now? We won’t need a
scientist or a government to do the things that they
will do. Computers will do their jobs, too.
Technology will be booming because it
has a lot to do with computers, also. I believe that by
the year 2001 computers will even be programmed to pick
a person’s religion for her or him, so I probably will
be praising God in my home, and that probably would be
against the law.
So I believe that now is the time to
get prepared for the year 2001 for the sake of myself
and my children, which are the next generation. If I get
prepared now, then when the year 2001 get here, I’ll be
ready. I know that the world will be a beautiful place.

THE FUTURE AS I SEE IT
By Annie
Langston
Only God knows what kind of world
will exist. He is the maker and creator of the world and
mankind. Man has removed himself so far from God’s word
and his teachings.
Take for instance the scientific
inventions of the egg implantation procedure used for
procreation. If I wanted to conceive and for some
medical reason could not, then I would look for a
candidate, or surrogate mother, to carry out the
procedure. Technology and computer science have improved
to the point whereby a code can be entered and reveal
all of a person’s business.
Another problem is today’s drug
activity, which is against God’s Law, in that God said,
“Train a child in the way that is should go and, it will
not depart from it.” Any time nine-year-old children are
arrested for selling drugs, some mother did not follow
God’s command. This situation does not bode well for the
future.
The government is mixed up; they
don’t know what to do about the world’s trouble. They
don’t know whether to keep troops at home or send them
abroad.
Here in our homeland, the United
States, there will be bloodshed and war among the people
just like it is in other countries. There will be
strange armies on our homeland.
The world will be in turmoil with
sickness and affliction. There will be a shortage of
food and not enough healthcare, and we won’t have enough
education for our children. The people will be running
to and fro trying to find help. The world will be
getting worse instead of better.
The young people won’t have the
knowledge of older people to survive critical times.
They won’t know how to take flour and make bread, This
is the reason. I see the shortage of help and no peace
on this earth. It will get worse as times go on.
In the next ten years, however, I
hope I will be working, making good money and have a
nice home in a quiet place. I also have a strong desire
to help others. As far as my children, I hope they will
go to college. I also hope to go to college and be in
good health.

The World in 2001
By Linda
Willis
The world in the year 2001 will be a
world of computers to take the place of man. There will
be more people out of work and homeless. The doctors
will be able to use a machine that will tell people what
is wrong with them. With technology, they will try to
find ways to grow food to feed more people. Religion
will be the same. Children will have to go to school
more hours than the children do today. They will have to
be in the house by a certain time, and this will be
enforced by law. The government will be harder than it
is today. I hope that I will still get a chance to take
care of children.

A CHRISTIAN FUTURE
By Marsha
Hudson
The first thing I see in my future is
a much better relationship with the Lord Jesus Christ.
I’d like to see all my Christian brothers and sisters
come closer together. I want peace and love for the
future, people being friends, not killing and fighting
one another. I want to see an end to the generation gap,
that is, mothers and daughters, parents and children
becoming friends.
I’d like to see an end to ethnic and
racial conflicts. Blacks and whites must learn to love
each other, to live in the same blocks, to go to the
same churches, and to work together in peace and
harmony. I want to end to separation in education. All
our children should be in the same schools, learning
together and getting the same quality of education.
I see myself as a nurse helping more
people help themselves. I’d like to do work to help
babies be born free from drugs, to see that they grow up
to be wonderful men and women. I hope some day to see my
two daughters’ grandsons and me singing praises for the
Lord. I see myself back in the working world so that I
might acquire a lovely home. I don’t have much more to
say, except I believe with God, all things are possible
if we only believe.

The World To Come
By Bonita
Baldwin
In the year 2001 there will be more
killing, fewer educational program and jobs. Also, there
will be more drug dealing than ever. Because of the
budget cuts that the national state and municipal
governments are making. Our present problems will
intensify.
Machines will be controlled by
themselves in a way that there will be fewer jobs in the
field of computers.
In the year 2001, scientists will
have found a cure for diseases, such as AIDS, Cancer,
and Sickle Cell Anemia, because they keep developing
many drugs.
Maybe people will have more faith in
God.
In the year 2001, I will be working
in a hospital as a nurse and own my home in the country.
In the year 2001, there will be no
more racial conflicts among people. Kids will be able to
play again. Mothers and fathers will be able to sit out
doors without any worry.
