Stonehouse - 100 Years in the Future

The next task in Transforming Stonehouse is to create a postcard for the area resembling what the area would be like in 100 years time, or at least some time in the future. In order to be able to do this I felt I had to consider the possible ways in which an area changes over a long period of time, and in particular the possible dramatic changes that occur in the next 100 years linked to possibilities of global warming and other current issues.  The following is a list of these possibilities:

• Flooding - rising sea level
• Drought - both hot(arid) or cold(ice) possibilities
• Technological dependance - The world becomes completely digital
• Loss of light
• Loss of air
• Atmospherical pollution - smog, no oxygen, clouded cities, leads to loss of vision
• Radioactivity - wars or attempt at alternative energy
• Too much waste
• Ecofriendly civilisation - everything becomes 'green' e.g. travel, energy etc
• Technological advancement - scifi elements e.g. defying gravity, ALife, technology becomes organic

Being that the annotations my group made of the area are based on views, light, green/organic, and traffic the concept for the future should be based on a development of one or some of these, but possibly also on the development of better technologies as this is likely to be inevitable.
