using renewable resources will be better for everyone
that’s a no-brainer

  2. I am an optimistic person. But when I think about the future, sometimes I feel like I'm kind of a pessimist. Because I worry about things we go through, especially here in Lebanon in 2024. We are going through bad situations, bad news, and war, etc. Personally, my predictions for my future are to become better than before, keep growing every single day. I'm always enthusiastic about learning new things every day. I hope to travel and visit many countries, aiming to achieve my goals and be satisfied. As for the world, I don't think we will see flying cars; it's a long way off. But self-driving cars, yes, I think they will be commonplace soon. I hope for peace globally.

  9. The new HBO's series that launched in May, Years and Years, is for me, by far, the show that has the most realistic predictions about technology in the next 10 years (2019-2029), like AI and a world every time more dependent on internet.
