Life in 1990

April 30, 2099

Since the year 2100 is quickly approaching, I am doing a special edition of editorials to reveal how daily life has progressed over several decades. I recently renewed my time travel license and received my new DATT (Deluxe Adventure Time Travel) watch--as featured in the latest machinima Dark Zone-- to journey to a period when time travel was seen more in what people use to call “movies” than actively done by them personally.  As I traveled to the year 1990, it was amazing to get a first hand view of how daily life was extremely simplistic than what it is now. During this period, many still had a difficult time believing that time travel really existed, even though it had been a couple of years since it was discovered. Official documents reveal that the public was afraid of the then unperfected accessibility. The common belief was that journeying to another period in time would result in damaging their current state of being. Public records show that many could not afford to pay for the expenses and there were no strong regulations enforced by the Time Fighters just yet. Instead, as the new decade began, individuals were preoccupied with new developments in fashion, entertainment, technology, and other common trivialities. Not until visual advertisements began to appear on “television”--a square box with motion pictures-- did people get into debt trying to afford the extravagant costs. The price did not become reasonable until several years later when Doctor Welles stabilizes the Process of Atom Temporal Transference (PATT).
