"Chaque époque rêve de sa successeure"
— Walter Benjamin
Simplified Meaning:
Every time period has a vision or hope for what comes next. People living in one era think, plan, and imagine what the future should be like. For example, in the 1960s, society dreamed of advancements in technology and space exploration, leading to the moon landing and the creation of computers. These dreams shape the next era because they influence decisions, innovations, and progress. So, when planning for the future, remember that what we do and how we think today will directly impact and shape the world of tomorrow. By aiming for a better future, we inspire and set the foundation for the next generation.
