Look Up at the World

           Hi Everyone,

I have been thinking a lot about our world today. Even though the earth is so big, it always seems like people view the world as their small little bubble that they interact in. People always seem to neglect the issues that are happening. Especially with social media today, people start to become more and more concerned with artificial things. This can become so real that people can start to think that the whole world revolves around their iPhone or computer.

                                                   

 It used to be that when most people get home they would turn on the news or maybe read the paper. Now most people turn on MTV or check their Facebook. This isn't a bad thing, it just causes a big disconnect between everyone. In general, social media's main purpose was to bring people to information easier, yet now its evolving into something new. Especially with our generation, a lot of people our becoming less and less interested with everything else that doesn't have to do with the best dressed on the worst dressed on the red carpets. So if it were up to me and there could be a "revolution" of some sort, I guess it would be to get teens to be more aware of current events, and keep in mind the idea of just how big the world really is. This could be achieved peacefully without any type of violent protest. Overall I just want people to see all of the great little things that you would ignore because their eyes were glued to their phones. So just take a moment, look up, and see the world around you. 

Leave a comment down below if you have any questions or ideas to build off of this. 

Thanks,

Annatopia

 

 

 I want to create a city on Mars with approximately 200 people called Annatopia. There will be spacious housing and lots of gardens. will create a dome attached to the planet which will be kept airtight. We will then take air from earth and bring it over to Mars and put it in the dome. To leave the dome and to explore the rest of Mars we will have a tunnel that leads from the dome to another chamber, from there you put on a spacesuit and can leave and go out into the planet. There will be lots of flora fauna. We will allow a small amount of people at a time to prevent overcrowding, and those who want to come up to the planet will enter their name into a draw and we will pick 10 at a time every month and everybody is welcome to enter. Over time we will expand into multiple domes but will make sure to leave a lot of Mars preserved in it's natural state so humans can still experience the environment if they choose. We will create water sources like vast pools so people can swim and animals that need water will have a place to go. We will have one large public school for every dome, so as the domes expand so will the education systems for every dome. When humans choose to explore the rest of Mars, we will send a specialist trained in the terrain to help supervise and assist the travelers. However, children under 18 are not allowed to leave the dome. Annatopia will be a safe space with a dynamic community of individuals and a great education system. We want to provide modern accommodations and start the movement from Earth to Mars. Eventually, there will be an even distribution between the two planets and we will have less of an overcrowding issue.
