Let’s review this PowerPoint about the term “paleofuture.” I have some questions for you to answer both before and after viewing the PowerPoint. This discussion and the next discussion will both prepare us for the topic for Essay #2, so really think about these questions!
1. If someone from the 1776 were suddenly magically transported to the year 2022, what do you think he or she would find most shocking? What technology would seem like wizardry? What about our culture would seem most strange? What would they like? What would they hate?
List at least 3 things and explain your answers:

3.
After you’ve looked at the slides, let’s answer these questions:
1. What does paleofuture mean again?

List at least three things that will be radically different in 100 years. Explain your answers.
