The ‘60’s by Derek Dubowski

Many schools in 2160 have evolved and changed so much since 2009 you can barely tell whether it’s a college or an elementary school. One school is called Mathew Elementary School, which was named after the inventor of the ‘Atmosphixer’, and is one of the most intelligent and technically advanced schools that still have human teachers. Many of the other schools that have replaced human teachers with robots are still in court because of people (over 9000 people, actually) losing their jobs over buggy robots that are still in their ‘beta’, or testing, stage.

Many sports and games have also evolved. Rocketboards have been disallowed because of the speed they can reach, but the vintage skateboards and scooters are allowed. Jacks have evolved into Bouncer, where jacks are ttwice as large, and the bouncy ball is the size of a grapefruit. In the school gymnasium’s ‘porch’, you’ll find 4 doors; one door to the men’s change room, one to the women’s, one to the RokkitSports arena, and the other to the physical fitness gym. The RokkitSports arena houses games like RokkitBall, RokkitSoccer, and FrenzyBall. Many of these games use magnetism to attract a lightweight metal ball. When the player jumps, all he has to do is think about it, and his suit uses the rockets for extra height. When you have aimed to score, press a button on the magnet gun, and it will change polarities, which will make it propel forward into the goal.

Paper and pen have been almost completely replaced by laptop and tablet, which reduce the children’s backpack weight by over 80%. Compared to now, the backpack is almost weightless, especially with the special ‘Airator’ feature, which is like a strong fan that lightens the load by another 20%, making the backpack superlight. Although Kindergarten to grade 3 still uses paper and pen, they begin learning how to use the laptop and tablet by grade 2.
