It's 2035. You have a job, a family and you're about 40 years old. Welcome to your future life.
Getting ready for work, you pause in front of the mirror, "Turn red," you say. Your shirt changes from
sky blue to deep red. Tiny preprogrammed electronic are rearranged (重新设置) in your shirt to change its
color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe that you are 40. You look much younger. With
amazing advances in medicine, people in your generation may live to be 150 years old. You're not even
middle-aged.
As you go into the kitchen and prepare to pour your cereal (谷类 )breakfast into a bowl, you hear: "To
lose weight, you shouldn't eat that," from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic code on the cereal box
to find out the nutrition details. You decide to listen to your shoes. "Kitchen, what can I have for breakfast?"
A list of possible foods appear on the counter as kitchen checks its food supplies.
"Ready for your trip to space. You ask your son and daughter." In 2005 only specially trained astronauts
went into space.- and very few of them. Today anyone can go to space for day trips or longer vacation. Your
best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you add, "The doctor said
you need these for space travel." Thanks to medical advices, vaccination shots (疫苗注射) are a thing of the
past. Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids head for the front
door.
It's time for you to go to work. Your car checks your fingerprints and unlocks the doors. "My office.
Autopilot (自动驾驶)." you command. Your car drives itself down the road and moves smoothly into traffic
on the highway. You sit back and unroll your e-newspaper. The latest news downloads and fills the viewer.
Looking through the pages, you watch the news as video films rather than read it.
