I left the room being somehow confused by our conversation. Maybe my parents were right, we could not have an ideal society to offer everybody prosperity and security. I entered my bedroom and went to bed. I kept on thinking about the kind of society I’d have liked to live in. But soon, dreams came over me and on that very night I had the most interesting dream of my life.
It seemed that I was living together with my family in a block of ten flats where each family occupied one floor, each flat being subdivided into flatlets for individual family members. All my neighbours seemed older and more peaceful, less active and less criminal and with more leisure. Moreover, adults were watching an average of fifteen hours television a day.
In what concerns fashion,I cou
ld also distinguish the canyon between an upper class and the rest of the community. There were snobs and slobs. The narrowing gap between men and women were reflected in clothing, too. The upper class wore tailored clobber, proclaiming their top-dogness while the workers, from birth to death, wore stretchy, self-cleaning, self- heating romper suits.
The country house played a key role in profoundly reshaping rural communities. The fortune of lovely homes was much healthier and ruins were reconstructed. Country communities meeting local needs grew. Owners had to join with those who lived nearby to provide security for all rather than raise physical and psychological barriers between the big house and its neighbours. Service in country houses was considered a worth white job. Gardens were producing food sources thanks to plant engineering. Gravel and drought-loving plant replaced lush, green lawns. Blue roses, red daffodils and lime-tolerant rhododendrons were commonplace. Waste was recycled to substitute for stable manure.
On the other hand, trees protected the atmosphere as they were planted to soak the carbon dioxide from the atmosphere. Woods were run by local communities and grown on derelict land and disused motor ways.
But what impressed me more in my dream was the fact that the system of education was totally different from the one nowadays. A teacher was 2500 km far from his student and the specialist in preschool education was a four-year-old child to learn the first letters.
When I woke up I began to ask myself if that could be considered an ideal society, based on the development of technology in every field of activity. Would people feel more secure and happy having more spare time and trying to invent more things in order to make their life easier? Could this kind of society be considered a future shock?
