Blog Post 6: Time travel to the future

Time travel to the future is something I would really like to do, for it seems to be a very interesting exercise to analyze and investigate. I would love to travel to the XXII century, to know the technological advances that have been developed in those years, and if there is a cure for diseases such as AIDS, cancer, diabetes, Covid-19 or any treatment for the eyes, since it has to be considered that we spend many hours connected to the computer, which makes it a challenge to study this type of case. I would also like to know the type of transport that would be in those years, if we can be in another country in a matter of minutes and if Mars is already colonized by humans.

I imagine this type of travel like in the Back to the Future movies, in which Marty McFly and Dr. Emmet Brown travel through time. Interesting props from this movie are the flying skateboard, the adjustable Nike shoes, and the self-drying adjustable jacket. Another way I imagine you could travel to the future is through quantum travel, like they do in Avengers Endgame. It would be fun to see my variants and those of my relatives. However, I am also pessimistic about playing with this exercise, since I fear that Planet Earth will be destroyed because of climate change, caused by this economic model, which only encourages greed and ambition.

Post 5: My future job

Regarding my future work, it is a scenario that is very hard to define at the moment, with a lot of uncertainty, since I, nor anyone else expeced the COVID-19 pandemic have such a large impact, which has implied a very large change in the social paradigm. so, I imagine my professional practice   would be inside my house, working from the computer, being in meetings with my colleagues, preparing reports, whether for a governmental or a private organization. I hope that with the end of the pandemic, I can go out on the field, since this way I can apply what I have learned within a certain territory, and in turn also have free time to do other activities such as working out, read novels, enjoy family outings, etc. As for being able to travel, of course I would like to, because it helps me expand my knowledge both professionally and personally. The opportunity to travel allows me to know new theoretical perspectives that have not yet reached Chile, which would have the effect of having a greater job offer. Traveling gives the opportunity to learn other languages ​​apart from spanish, which is highly required in a globalized world, especially if it is English, which is the case. If we talk about salary, I hope to have an income that allows me to be able to live in peace without debt problems, that I can enjoy, get good health and education.

The specialty that I would like to be able to develop in the future is economic sociology and environmental sociology, since these are areas that I handle with ease, and apart from that, I like the authors who address them. I hope that in the future I can work on it and be a good professional Who can help the community in its social demands, since in Chile natural resources are exploited abusively, especially water, which is practically unacceptable.
