Where will you be on March 30, 2020 at 6 p.m.?
Will you be taking your self-driving car home from work? Will you be preparing for the Summer Olympics in Tokyo? Will you be watching the launch of NASA’s next Mars rover?
Or will you be at Clement Park wondering why you got a Facebook event notification telling you to be there?
If you’re one of 20,000 people (as of 4:30 p.m. on April 22, 2015 and growing fast) who have RSVP’d yes to the Facebook event, that’s exactly where you’ll be. Or at least it’s where you’ve said you’ll be.
According to the
“In 5 years a lot of changes will have taken place in our lives, marriages, divorces, graduations, deaths, births, etc. In March of 2015 when accepting this invite is totally forgotten, we will get a notification for this event & have no idea what it is & we will celebrate with an epic 30 minute barbecue party… If you get an invite for this group from someone consider it a compliment & invite others. See you in 5 years!!
Round Two Fellas, But this time a change of scenery maybe?”
Will the event organizers actually follow through with the “epic 30 minute barbecue party”?
Will Facebook still be around in five years?
The future is forever uncertain.
Whether the event takes place or not, attendees are treating this like the Facebook equivalent of a time capsule and leaving messages to their future selves.
“Hey Matt Wolf, I don’t know what to say to 24 year old me. Sophie Lewick says I should ask you if we’re still friends with Martin. Hope you feel just as happy with your life as you always have, or even happier,” writes Wolf.
“Dear 24 year old Brandon,
Hope you made it through Pharmacy school. If not I hope that you are doing your absolute best to become a better person every single day,” writes Brandon Lingo Lee.
“Future Louis you better have that six pack!” writes Louis Fleming.
Good luck, and see you in the future, people. Because, where we’re going, we don’t need roads … probably.
