Will be awhile ’till we can freely go out.
Are we living the future? Well, for ‘Back To The Future’ we have gone past beyond the future. People think we’re going to have flying cars, but now all we are is stuck at home either playing Animal Crossing or binge-watching ‘The Office’ or ‘Friends’ for the hundredth time.
One other thing you can do is go through the interesting list of invention people have made so far. From revolving bench to creative ways of picking up litter while hiking, Green Lemon loves the simple, but truly functional inventions on this list.
