It’s the year 2114. A major museum is
running an exhibition on life and culture as it was in 2014. You’re asked to
write an introduction for the show’s brochure. What will it say?
A century
ago, the “Back to Nature” movement changed our way of life for today. We were
headed toward complete technological addiction and ultimate destruction, and
suddenly, Mother Nature rose above as she has done so many times over the
generations. Today, in the year 2114,
life is much like it was for our great great grandparents, who went fishing and
hunting, built forts out of natural materials outside, and whose past times
were hiking, gardening, and camping. But, we are lucky to have that today
because life might have been very different. Just 100 years ago, children were
no longer enjoying the outdoors, but instead were hiding out in front of their
TV’s, tablets, and cell phones for anywhere between 2-6 hours a day. What was
that like? The Generation X Museum presents it’s 2014: The Technological Age
exhibit from Just 25-August 20, 2114.
Come find
out what it was like to become addicted to technology with our interactive
exhibits, which include the most popular
video games of 2014 that you can try out Afterwards, check out the “Movie
History” room, which shows clips from the many, many movies from 100 years ago
and pay attention to how many of them actually had subtle and outright
straightforward themes urging viewers to
save the earth before there was no more earth to save. Finally, check out our outdoor exhibit, which
details the advantages/disadvantages of a life spend indoors or outdoors. May we never forget what we have come from
and what almost was!
