Every now and then, one can't help but look back and think about all the changes and advancements in various fields which have occurred.
Both good and bad.
Just about every year, we continued to see advancements in technology, what were once luxuries becoming more accessible, and stronger, more diverse representation in media.
Even though there are still ongoing issues we continue to wish would change, or as the US Supreme Court recently demonstrated, major regressions in other areas.
With this in mind, it leaves us to wonder what the next five years will have in store for us.
Something which Redditor wtfkingQ9 also wondered, leading them to ask:

Only time will tell what the future holds.
But some things in our own personal future can be changed, with a bit of work and a lot of passion.
And the only thing stopping you from fulfilling those changes, is you!
