Forward In Time

Dear Socrates,

The mission that you sent me on to see the future of Greece suffered somewhat of a malfunction. The time warp didn't take me forward two hundred and fifty years as planned. I'm not exactly sure how much farther forward in time I landed, but to my best approximations I was taken to a land called the United States of America some 2,500 years from now.

Technology will become very advanced over the years. Tools have become so sophisticated that people have become capable of erecting rather large buildings that stand hundreds and sometimes even thousands of feet tall. Even entertainment will become very advanced with technology. People don't have to go to the theater to see a play. In the future, they sit in front of large boxes called "TV's" that show
