Greetings, guys,
my name is Roberta and I am presently writing from Italy, my home country, so I apologize in advance for my poor English. I have a feeling that I have "involuntarily" travelled from 2019 to the present day, without time machines or any other device, but it looks like I have just woken up from my... future life. Yes, I woke up in my bed, as usual, in the early morning, but I suddenly felt a sense of nostalgia and discomfort as I noticed that the papers, books and comics in my desk (I am an avid reader in my mother tongue) were left in an order which I didn't recognize as mine, because I'm a kind of a messy person and most of the times I'm not willing to be tidy and organized. I looked carefully to my room and I can say that it didn't change that much, as it is for the outsides, it's just that now I feel the average temperature for the summer in my country a little bit hotter than it is in 2019. The only proof (which I suppose it is valid just for me) that I came from the near future was held in my watch, a Casio GA-100-1C7ER, which kept signaling 25-01-2019 as the "official" date for that day before I woke up in 2014. I remember consulting it frequently in 2019; but unfortunately neither my watch nor my clothes or personal accessories (I used to wear thin eyeglasses) followed me in this apparent time travel. I woke up with just a blue cotton t-shirt, my underwear (it didn't change) and a pair of bermuda (slightly looser than my true size).
As you can see I'm pretty clueless about what brought me back in time, and most importantly how. I can say that in the "future" where I lived (now, in my perception, is unfortunately... The past), the feared "Third World War" has not begun and the world of technology is about to uncover important advances in regards to the Human Brain Project; there will be significant advances and there will be more and more evidence about consciousness, which will proven to be non-immortal. More and more people will get into mind-uploading, setting up the path for its realization (though it is common opinion that will not be realized until 2040).
As for now, I am trying to keep up with my ordinary life, but it's not that hard since the only thing it has been changed from my... "future" is technology, and in a slight way. Virtual reality will be pretty popular, and Sony and Nintendo will be the true winners of this competition. Oculus Rift is challenged by a modified version of a Nintendo 3DS device, which is simply called Nintendo VR, and can emulate VR games simply being brought to one person's eyes (it has some kind of binocular support).
Well... For now, that's all. Thank you for listening.
