Living in the: Now? Future?

I think we should spend more time developing more technologies for the future that do not deteriorate the earth it uses. But I dont think this will degrade how we view the present. You just have to create more jobs and more focus on the future of humans than the now of humans. Which basically means more education and more scientific jobs of all fields. Though Skip sociology because basically it focuses on interactions with people and thus manipulating them. Which usually is only used for the now.

But yeah we as the human race (primarily Americans) need to stop using fossil fuel. I feel like major world changes are going to happen in hour life time. And it would be nice if we didn't make it worse.
