What Journaling Will Be Like in 100 Years

Journaling is a very old tradition that has been used ever since we (as humans) learned to read and write. However, keeping a journal or other type of notebook has begun to die out, as of the age of the iPad and iPhone. Kids don't want to write in some dumb old notebook; they want to play Temple Run on their iPad. So I started wondering- what will happen to journaling in 100 years, if it doesn't go extinct first? A lot could happen in 100 years; we might have a world war, I don't know, maybe the apocalypse will finally come upon us. And, because I love lists, I narrowed it down to 3 things. Remember, these are predictions, wondering, and ideas- tell me what predictions YOU have for the future of writing in a notebook. 

1. Records such as journals will be 90% digital. People will type it out on their phones, telling Siri about their day, and there are already dozens of apps for that (trust me, I looked!). Paper and pen will be something solely from the past, besides the few select people who still prefer it. They will go home to their Mac books and Windows 57 laptops (instead of a screen, it's a touchscreen hologram) and go to either Journalate or Penzu, then write about their day and how they brought their kids to the Dragon Petting Zoo that day. 

2. People likely won't write about what we write about today; they might not write about their day, or they might not write stories, or keep track of their daily and monthly events using a bullet journal. I don't know what they will write about, but their style will probably change, and maybe for the best. You never know what our future writers will be like. 

3. Journaling might be something very encouraged, such as to improve your mental health, by someone like Oprah or another motivational, health-savvy person; you will hear of scientific results showing that writing in your journal every day for 18 months will boost your IQ points. There will be superstition, no doubt- what do you think will happen?

I just really have no idea what journaling will be like in 100 years; but maybe you do. If you do know, tell us in the comments below, I'm sure others would love to know, too. Thanks for reading!
