The document discusses drawing and its importance both historically and in the future. It notes that drawing helps the author relax and practice their imagination. In the past, kings and queens commissioned famous painters to draw portraits of their families on walls rather than paper. Some iconic historical paintings are mentioned. The future is predicted to have technologies that allow pencils to draw automatically and for drawing to occur in the air or water, changing the nature of drawing. Museums like the Louvre and Prado are also briefly compared in size and focus.
