Twenty-two years ago, a young man named Greg Wilkinson in Rozelle, Sydney, had a novel idea as he renovated his new home. He and his wife wrote a letter to the future describing their living conditions and forecasts for the future.
A couple of days ago, a group of decorators found the letter and a photo in the partition and sent it to FACE BOOK. When Greg Wilkinson, who was traveling outside the country, saw this, he was so surprised that he was about to cry. He speculated that the letter would be found in 2060.
The letter was written in a 486 notebook with 8 megabytes of memory and 240 megabytes of hard disk, using the Windows 5.
This letter makes such a prediction of the future.
1. Islam will be a matter of ideology, and there will be jihad in many parts of the world.
2. China will be semi-democratic and will become the world's economic superpower. Australia should learn Chinese languages and cultures that have been introduced to Australian immigrants and can resolve problems peacefully when conflicts occur. If we confront China, we will not win.
3. The family will return to the situation where only one parent works and the other takes care of the child.
4. Australia will still be an enviable country in the future.
The letter also lists the prices of some of the items at the time, including
One loaf of bread $2.25 (similar to today's price)
A pint of milk (more than half a liter) $1.25 (this is the price for a litre of milk now, double the price reduction)
One case of Carlton beer for $24.95 (the current price is around $40, a tripling increase)
Sunday's newspaper is $1.20 (does anyone buy it now?) (the price of the house was one hundred and seventy thousand in 1987 and 1.38 million in 2016, an increase of more than eight times.)
The letter's owner, Greg Wilkinson, is actually the founder of Reckon, an Australian-listed company that develops accounting software. Greg Wilkinson died as early as 1997.
