As a result, Charly asks people to name a particular aspect of human life, such as education, politics, medicine, etc., and he will tell them where he sees it going in the future.
With that said, if I were in the audience, I would have asked him the following questions: how can humanity go about contacting other sentient lifeforms in reality, and what steps can humanity take to ensure that they are developed/evolved enough to initiate/receive such contact(s)?
Why is it, if I may ask, that you enjoy older films? You seem too young to be stuck in an older era.
