Time Travel


If technology can soon provide us with an accurate digital copy of our world, possibilities may seem endless. It is believed that with these digital scans, we can predict the effects of natural disasters, even conjure up what objects looked like years ago. Through this the effects of global climate change can also be predicted. It is currently being used to add buildings that have not yet been created into settings to see how they would fit, and what kind of shadows they would place on surrounding areas. If cities and popular places are scanned as is now, being able to keep them restored exactly to it's original form many years in the future is more then possible. If we had this ability many years ago, we would be able to know so much more about our culture. I believe by doing this we will be advancing our future generations in many ways. And giving them the tools togo above and beyond with what we have already learned, as well as reserving our present day which will eventually become history.
