Time travel in the future

I watched a movie called Looper with my sisters this afternoon. Here’s the blurb on what the movie was about…

In Looper, time travel is invented by the year 2074 and, though immediately outlawed, is used by criminal organizations to send those they want killed into the past where they are killed by “loopers”, assassins paid with silver bars strapped to their targets. Joe, a looper, encounters himself when his older self is sent back in time to be killed.

It was really good in my opinion. I love Joseph Gordon-Levitt and he’s the star of the movie. Time travel is also something I am fascinated about so that’s a plus.

Anyway, I just kept thinking about the future, what it would be like and how technology can actually set us back if you really think about it. It can be used by unscrupulous individuals and make the world a worse place instead of making it better. Criminals can rule a country and it can happen.

It just scares me to think of a future that is so high tech yet worse than it is today.
