The activity that we had participated in today came across some interesting ideas about the future. The four scenerios of a future Hawaii seemed a bit extreme, yet very possible if some big changes were to happen to our state. To be honest, I didn't like any of the four futures that we had discussed. All of them seemed either very depressing or just not the paradise we live in today. Even the postcard about Mauihattan just didn't fit the fun in paradise feel, the idea about the underwater casino didn't fit the relaxing Hawaii atmosphere either. The other extreme scenerio about Hawaii being severely devastated by a hurricane also seemed like it was impossible to imagine. The idea that our own government would pull away and not give us any aide seemed very absurd, but then again that extreme scenerio also could be part of the Hawaiian nation gaining their own control which would explain the US government's decision on withdrawing help. This activity actually made me not want to think about the future of Hawaii as the future will probably hold drastic changes and won't be like the paradise we live in today.
