So, imagining I am a traveller from 100 years hence, I guess I’d be looking for how people lived and travelled, how energy was generated, etc – but I’d be viewing this from my contextual perspective of 100 years in the future ... what will have happened over the next 100 years? and what would my life environment be like at that time?
