How does the past impact the future?

  1. The whole theory of the future is a product of the past. In my opinion, every small thing in the past effects huge things in the future. For example, a brilliant person could be killed in a war, he could have come up with a cure for cancer or a new computer program. This is why radical events are remembered in the future.

  2. Having a past allows people to learn from their past. Therefore one can apply their knoladge and experiances to ones future. Without a past the future is unpredictable.

  3. The past impacts the future in many ways. The mistakes you make in your past will benefit you for your future. Experiencing things in your past that are either good or bad, can maybe come up in your future. As Chase stated, without a past the future is unpredictable. You never know what life is going to throw at you.

  4. We learn from our past mistakes so we can prepare for the future in case the same event happens again. It's like someone who is learning how to drive a car. They run into something or hit the gas to hard and crash there vehicle. They learn to not do that again in the future.

  5. I think the past impacts the future because when you make mistakes you always learn from them and change the things you do in the future. I think all decisions you make in the past always help you to have a better future, sometimes you mess up been then you learn how to not do that again and to make your future the best it can be.

  6. Our past mistakes can impact our future decisions we make. If we do something in the past and we suffer the consequences we won't make the same mistake again. We can save ourselves a lot of misfortune by making better decisions than we have in the past. If we learn from our mistakes the world will be a far better place for everyone.

  7. We consider everything that has happened to be our past and everything we do in the past is what predicts our future. Everything that happens, happens for a reason and we learn from all those experiences. :)

  9. The past influences the future in a big way. Without certain people or events our "today" would be dramatically different. We learn from our past. We learn to not repeat the bad and how to improve on the good things in our past. Without learning from the past we might go down similiar path that would lead to worse things.

  10. I think that the past impacts the future in many ways. One of the ways that the past impacts the future is what we as a civilization have learned from past experiences. For instance we would know enough not to put mercury in our water supply because we have learned in the past that it is harmful. This is just one of the almost endless ways the past impacts the future.

  11. The past is very helpful for the future. The past help give us ideas of events that might occur, and help expect what will happen during these events. The future is always going to be changing but the past is staying the way it happened. We will learn from the past mistakes and also the past accomplishments. Everything from the past will help us.

  12. In my opinion I believe that the past impacts our future in a lot of different ways. We have to learn from our past mistakes, so that we don’t implicate them more in the future. We benefit from our past experiences, to make sure that we have a better future.

  13. Well in my opinion everything that is done in the past effects everyones future. There are many mistakes that have been made past but have been revised in the future. The mistakes that were made in the past benefit the future. Like in the previous generations cigerattes weren't thought to be that bad for you and when a person smoked they were cooler but now we have learned that cigarettes greatly impact ones health.

  14. In my opinion everything that happen the past helps us in the future. If you make mistakes in the past you learn for it and you would do it in the future. The past help us what not to do in the future and help us in many way to where we are know in the world.

  15. The past really affects the future. We got all of our laws and rules because of something that happened in the past. Someone messed up before us to get a law so the past pays a big rule in our future.

  16. The past greatly effects the future. Learning and knowing about the past helps prevent bad things from reoccuring. If you know about the mistakes that past leaders have made then the same diplomatic mistakes are less likey to happen again. If we wouldnt have knowledge of history the wolrd would be a lot different probably for the worse. The past makes a huge impact on the events of the future.

  17. Well I believe that the past affects the future because everything thats happend in the past is what has made the future what it is today. If you did something yesterday that was not good it will affrct you today because there is consequences. The past is where we got everything from, theroredically because of them we now have phones and internet, if it wasn't for those discoverys maby we would never have found them or they would have been found later in life and our advancements in vehicals, electronics and in health would'nt be as advances as it is today. Things we are discovering today are going to help us find new discoveries tommorow.

    P.S. I wasn't here the day we did this, so thats why its late
