What do we need in the future? Continuing to renew the city to build the beautiful future or people just want to pursuit the never satisfy desires. The black liquid paint monsters were the implication of the future ecology. The huge trees refuse to breath and provoke the high acidic waste and erosion effect the whole biosphere. The greedy natures of human still try to attempts the fact which grasps is unable to change. The world is a large-scale building under the ecological vicious cycle and we can predict that the earth in the universe will become a monument in the future. 
Human want to create a better future, but ironically, we have constructed is no future.
