There are a lot of myths about the future that people believe are going to come true right now. Then, everyone will have an opportunity to Vote for your Wonder! The most popular Wonder Questions will be selected as the Wonder of the Day! Absolutely, Arabela and Medeau! It sounds like you did learn a lot today! I think you may be right! Your dog would love it if you grilled steaks in the living room! We are not scientists, but we are a lot like you. We love to learn new things and share them with others.
We would like it if we could predict the future, too. For now, we can just dream about what the future will be like. We also think it would be cool to be able to predict the future! It sounds like your dogs really like people food. Have you ever Wondered what was in dog food? Enjoy, Wonder Friend! That's true, Kaitlyn!
Did you predict today's Wonder? Great question, David! Did you know that science fiction books and movies from the past inspired a lot of the technology that we see today? Cool, huh? Think about that the next time you see a Sci Fi movie. That could be the technology of the future We are glad that you liked today's Wonder! We're looking forward to your Wonder Suggestion! You're right, Max! It is a little sad that we don't have those things, but we do have computers, mobile phones, and robots!
We think that is pretty cool! And, we are looking forward to being able to travel to Mars some day! How cool would that be?
Hi, Nick! We hope you enjoyed today's Wonder! Then, you can have your friends vote for your Wonder. The most popular submitted Wonder Questions will become written Wonders of the Day!
