Dreaming New World

I get up to the sound of birds singing and as soon as I open my eyes a thin sunbeam makes me want to close them again. I don’t really have anything to do today, so I decide to stay in bed for some more minutes. While trying to evade the sunbeam, I start remembering those days when every child, which obviously included me, had to get up early to go to school… Oh, those days! I don’t really miss them, but I remember perfectly how everything changed.

I was still going to high school, I was on my senior year, so all my classmates and I were the oldest in the school. We were supposed to be respected by all the youngest children, but we weren’t. They all put themselves airs and we were in no way happy with that, as when we were juniors, we gave respect to seniors. However, when it came to teachers, they knew how to get on well with us. We had very good atmosphere in class, and we knew how to talk to them, as we had known them for a while then.

However, the cool environment we had in school was not the same as we had in the streets at all. The government was going madder every day, and people didn’t really know what to do. They made prices and taxes increase, and the country wasn’t in its best moments. Every single person wanted to move away to Germany, Great Britain or the USA, where employment was better paid and prices weren’t so high. However, few people could really do that, so a group of people started thinking how to make the situation change radically.

They started appearing in the news and the govern started worrying about the fact that they could get their ideas working successfully, which is what finally happened. In the end, that group of people became famous all over the country. They were called 1D, which came after “one delegate”, and after expanding their ideas to the Spanish people, they could finally defeat the previous government on the elections. Afterwards, some more changes were made, such as removing the royal family or changing lots of laws.

Nowadays, everything is so different. Children don’t go to school, as they learn everything they need to know at the age of 5, when a microchip is inserted in their brains to help them with their everyday life. Nevertheless, there is still some more capability for new things they can learn when it came to love, friendship, and all those “human” emotions.

 Somebody could feel that nowadays we feel more like robots, but it isn’t true at all. We can do whatever we want, as we work while we sleep. We can travel everywhere, as 1D scientists have invented the teleportation machine after years of investigation. We don’t need money to buy food or clothes, because we can get whatever we want at any time with our new refrigerators and wardrobes, which create anything you need in some seconds. We have loads of spare time to interact with our relatives or friends.
