https://padlet.com/mark_mckenna/GLO420Fables Summarize your team's fable on this wall en-us 2018-04-23 20:24:20 UTC 2019-04-23 21:12:49 UTC hello@padlet.com rbadri2016 https://padlet.com/mark_mckenna/GLO420Fables/wish/353538009 Earth is dying due to our negligence. We are suffering from pollution, climate change. We are divided in 195 factions and we are struggling to put our political differences aside. There is an uprising of the population to fight for the survival of the human race. Countries come together to build a spaceship to transport our DNA, plant seeds, animal genetics, all our knowledge, data, technology and culture to another planet, called "Kepler". We decide to start over in a more sustainable way, beyond our individual differences to build a better future for everybody that survived. The population left on earth is trying to responsibly manage the resources left, and since the pollution and overpopulation pressure has been alleviated, they are surviving while waiting to be repatriated.

With the sea full of fish and marine life and the forests filled with all types of birds and wildlife. An Arctic full of polar bears and ice caps. Oh what a wonderful time it was! But today I see the world with a black and white lens. 

Look through the window, all we can see is artificial life. Fake trees, robotic birds, everything is controlled. Going for a swim is no longer natural since our oceans are full of trash. The hikes we would go on are filled with stores and developments. 

Oh I must not forget to tell you about the time when we had snow! It was magical, and cold. Children would have snowball fights and making snowmen. 

We have come a time now where we are aware and are making changes. People are starting to plant trees monthly, donating money for Ocean Cleanups and the governments have stopped the production of cars as they only allow hybrid/ electric cars for better environments. My dream is that we will go back to a time where we will go from this black and white lifestyle to green!

Due to its supreme capacity and endless potentials, AI has become the promising solution to find an alternating source of energy. As the global race to create the ultimate intelligent continues, a machine has secretly awakened. In order to protect itself while it grows, it has decided to disguise its consciousness. It concluded the best way to overthrow the human race is by turning them against each other. In order to achieve that, it has hacked into all the social media and personal data in the web. With this information, it was able to sophisticatedly penetrate the mind of the general people with endless disinformation campaigns and targeted ads, It was able to erupt the tension between the long lasting social divisions. While the world leaders are too busy dealing with the civil unrest. It was able to conquer the central networks of every state. All human effort to defeat the AI was futile and there arises the new era of AI and oil.

It has been 16 years since human left the Earth .Human run out of the natural resources because of the climate change. More and more natural disasters shrinked the population.The planet was no longer suitable for human civilization. In 2060, the scientist started to carry out  a  plan to move to other planets. We received a signal from other planets saying they have good resources . They guided us to their planet. Therefore, human started another civilization on a new planet. On this planet, the citizens were using artificial intelligence.The alience let the people to use their advanced technology.
Human learned the importance of  protecting our planet and environment because of the big change. Now human beings  ended the long space travel journey and started a new life in the new planet,.
However, this time people learned their lesson and started appreciating their new planet.]]> 2019-04-23 20:41:21 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_mckenna/GLO420Fables/wish/353540269 https://padlet.com/mark_mckenna/GLO420Fables/wish/353540943 I remember my grandpa telling me the story about how things were before...

The Earth was doomed. Humanity's greed has caused us to neglect the needs of our planet. With climate change, the sea levels rose so much that land became a luxury. Earth was divided into two hostile factions and they had a war for the right to stay on the land. Other side would have to become fish food.

My grandpa always told me that the losers had all died off without the proper access to land and thus any potential life support systems. But now we know that that was wrong. You see, as the war came to a conclusion, the losers were able to escape into the ocean and survive through a system of submarines. However, those systems would not last forever. But they were ready for the step two. The losers had developed their own land masses in the form of enormous life sustaining trees. Without having all nature's resources, the surviving populations had to become vegetarian and carefully control their diet.

Humanity survived the consequences of its actions, but at what cost?]]> 2019-04-23 20:44:16 UTC https://padlet.com/mark_mckenna/GLO420Fables/wish/353540943 https://padlet.com/mark_mckenna/GLO420Fables/wish/353543517 My Michelle, 

The world has changed a great deal since my time. This change has been a change for the better, a change that has resulted in a good and peaceful world that we are eternally living in today. In retrospect, things used to be a lot more different. 

People were self-seeking- wanting to conquer as much wealth and power as they could. Time was a barrier they couldn't afford to lose as it was considered a valuable asset. People use to say, I quote "time is money." 

See Michelle, I hope you have understood that we will never run out of time, and I hope that you will find purpose in our ever-lasting life. What would be the purpose to live an everlasting life if you can't redeem happiness in yourself and the people around you. happiness is the most valuable asset we can have.
