02.12.2019 23:03 - Dormitory number 2. Room 208. Outside the window, snow falls languidly, bringing a pre-New Year mood to the student dwelling... I am sitting on the bed trying to focus, but thoughts are flying chaotically in my head. One of them: I am a creator. I decide for myself what my future will be, what I will be like. But what if I imagine my life in 20 years for a moment? What if I fantasize about what the world will be like in 2039? Hmm, I haven't looked that far ahead yet...

02.12.2039 23:03 - Head office of ICC - Intergalactic Communication Center. I am 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 introduced that allows, with the help of special sensors, to determine the interlocutor's language and automatically enable the ability to speak that language for the other interlocutor. Well, the work has decreased a little, but as the chief coordinator, now dealing with sending not only students but everyone who wishes to any point in the Universe, I also have to receive a couple of residents of Andromeda, the Milky Way, and Bode for immersion in earthly realities and ensuring friendly intergalactic relations. Since the inhabitants of the Universe, the Universans, made contact with our planet, life has changed significantly: firstly, all wars have ceased. Secondly, all actions, deeds, and words of people have gradually become aimed at establishing contact with that unexplored environment, which was the Universe, with that distant space that suddenly let us into its depths. Now everything is different. People have begun to travel beyond Earth, exploring other planets and populating them. Scientists have invented special spaceships, tickets for which are now as accessible as tickets for international flights were 20 years ago. Alien inhabitants from different galaxies now freely populate our continents, helping to cope with environmental problems and delivering resources to replenish our natural reserves. Moreover, thanks to the Universans, scientists have finally managed to invent a cure for cancer. The most important values today are love, kindness, and responsiveness. People help the newly arrived inhabitants of our planet settle in, even in its most remote corners, and special volunteer squads created at the ICC base help the arrivals find an activity they enjoy, find friends, a soulmate, and also, with the help of a time machine, immerse them in a brief excursion into Earth's history. Moreover, the ICC has developed a new innovative way of communicating with Universans - holograms. Now, to personally talk to someone from the Universe, be it your friend who went on a trip through the Milky Way or a Universan, you just 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 super-innovative ways of moving beyond Earth, travel on our home planet has not become a rarity. Thanks to new experimental developments by scientists, an absolutely advanced program of full immersion in a foreign language environment has been created. It is not at all necessary 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 New York scientific and technical laboratory, a secret invention was introduced that allows the human mind to move into another person's mind and live 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 life system, absorbing all the experience of life outside one's native land. But there is one downside - only quite wealthy people can afford to participate in such a program, as the cost of participation is quite high. Nevertheless, students who have demonstrated excellent academic results can take advantage of the chance absolutely for free. Moreover, every year this type of program is raffled off among all those who wish at the international talent contest from the ICC. 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 to participants of various programs, including "Work and Travel", exotic places such as Madagascar, Zimbabwe, New Zealand, Australia, Maldives, and many others have now been added.

In general, the world does not stand still. Technologies are progressing at a frantic speed. People are improving. Life is changing. Earth is opening up more and more new opportunities... But one thing remains unchanged - the love of travel, the striving for the unknown, and the boundless desire to change the world for the better.

03.12.2019 03:56 - The same dormitory number 2. The same room 208. Imagination does not let me sleep. The brain projects images of the future. Fantasy smoothly flows into a clear picture of the world...

Actually, I don't 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: the ICC will continue to give people unforgettable impressions and invaluable experience.

Thank you for bringing people together for 30 years. Thank you for making dreams come true.
