02.12.2019 23:03 - Dormitory number 2. Room 208. Outside the window snow falls languidly, evoking a pre-New Year mood in the student dormitory... I sit on the bed and try to concentrate, however thoughts fly chaotically in my head. One of them: I am a creator. I myself decide what my future will be, what I will be like. But what if for a moment to imagine my life in 20 years?
What if I fantasize about what the world will be like in 2039? Hm, I haven't looked that far ahead yet...
02.12.2039 23:03 - Head office ICC -
Intergalactic Communication Center - Center of Intergalactic Communication. I'm preparing documents to send a student to the Andromeda Galaxy. A lot of work. It is necessary to translate everything into the intergalactic interplanetary language - Galactose. Oh yes, I forgot again. Yesterday a new technology was implemented that, using special sensors, determines the language of the interlocutor and automatically connects the ability to speak that language in the other interlocutor. Well, there's a bit less work now, but as the chief coordinator responsible for sending now not only students, but anyone interested, to any point in the Universe,
I also have to receive a couple of inhabitants from Andromeda, the Milky Way and Bode for immersion in Earth's realities and to ensure friendly interuniversal relations.
Since the inhabitants of the Universe, the Universans, made contact with our planet, life has changed greatly: firstly, all wars have ceased. Secondly, all deeds, actions and words of people have gradually been directed at establishing contact with that unknown environment that was the Universe, with that distant cosmos that suddenly let us into its depths. Now everything is different. People began to travel beyond Earth, exploring other planets and settling them. Scientists invented special spacecraft, tickets for which are now as available as international airline tickets were 20 years ago. Alien inhabitants from different galaxies now populate our continents unimpeded, helping to cope with ecological problems and delivering resources to replenish our natural reserves.
Moreover, thanks to the Universans scientists still managed to invent a cure for cancer. The most important values today are love, kindness and responsiveness. People help newly-arrived inhabitants of our planet to settle in, even in the most remote corners, and special volunteer squads created on the basis of the ICC help arrivals find an occupation to their liking, find friends, a significant other, and also, with the help of a time machine, immerse them in a brief excursion through Earth's history. Moreover,
ICC has developed a new innovative way of communicating with the Universans - holograms. Now in order to personally talk to someone from the Universe, be it your friend who went on a journey through the Milky Way, or a Universan, you only need to come to the ICC office, where you will be given a special device that allows you to project a hologram of the interlocutor, who will personally tell you how they are doing and which planets they visited today.
However, despite the ultra-innovative means of traveling beyond Earth, journeys across the native planet have not become uncommon. Thanks to new experimental developments by scientists, a completely perfected full-immersion program into a foreign-language environment was created. It is absolutely unnecessary to physically move to another country or another continent! The technological level of the Intergalactic
Communication Center has reached such a scale of development that, together with the scientific and technical laboratory in New York, a secret invention was implemented that allows the human mind to move into the mind of another person and experience events through their life. Thus, it became possible to transport oneself to any point on the globe and, with the help of a special program, immerse oneself in another person's system of life, absorbing all the experience of living beyond one's native land. But there is one downside - only fairly well-off people can afford to participate in such a program, since the cost of participation is quite high. Nevertheless, students who have demonstrated excellent academic results can take advantage of the opportunity completely free of charge. Moreover, each year this type of program is raffled among all those wishing at the ICC's international talent competition. One of the most attractive things the center can offer at the moment is the opportunity to travel even to the most remote corners of the globe. To the few countries that were available for participants of various programs, including "Work and Travel", were added such exotic places as Madagascar, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Australia, the Maldives and many others.
In general, the world does not stand still. Technologies progress at a furious pace. People improve themselves. Life changes. Earth opens up more and more opportunities... But one thing remains unchanged - a love of travel, a striving for the unknown, and a boundless desire to change the world for the better.

03:56 - The same dormitory number 2. The same room 208. Imagination won't let me sleep. The brain projects images of the future. Fantasy smoothly flows into a vivid picture of the world...
Actually, I do not know what will happen next, how our life will turn out in 20 years, and how we will travel... but one thing I know for sure: IEC will still give people unforgettable impressions and invaluable experience.
Thank you for bringing people together for 30 years. Thank you for making dreams come true
