It was raining. I went into a cafe and asked for a coffee.
36 I was waiting for my drink, I realized there were other people in the place, but I sensed
37 . I saw their bodies, but I couldn’t feel their souls
38 their souls belonged to the
39 .
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man
40 in front of it. “ I’m Steve, ” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “ I can’t talk with you. I’m
41 ,” he said. He was chatting online and,
42 , he was playing a computer game –a war game. I was
43 .
Why didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried
44 to speak to that computer geek(怪人),
45 not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction(反应). I was
46 . I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout “
47 ! ”
I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the cafe were looking at me. I
48 , and saw nobody showed any interest.
49 , I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. They were more
50 having a relationship with the
51 , particularly Steve. I wouldn’t want to
52 the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines
53 with people.
I was worried and sank in my thoughts. I didn’t even
54 that the coffee was bad,
55 Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.
