Lessons From The Future

A REPORT FROM THE YEAR 2000 

***************************

As seen by B.C.'S Three Millionth child (Born in year 1988).

My future appears and appears to be exceedingly bright. For the first time in the history of western civilizations women occupy positions of power in all major countries. This is mainly as the result of developments by the PET scanner during the later part of the second millennium which showed that the brain structure of females allowed women to fit more easily into this age of mindlink than men.

I am happily married to my custom-designed and adjustableprogrammed robot 76-Flash Five. Today I am still considered quite young as our average life span is now 88 -- I spend most of my working day -- usually from 01:00 TO 04:00 Hours world time, in our Holographically-Equipped information/Educational/Home Entertainment center. (Currently called the "Dream Room") carrying out our work via the satellite-space station-relayed global free-calling area. I use the same old Fujitsu "Universal Translator" in speaking to most other world cities, Mainly I guess because I became so attached to it when I learned it was perfected in the year of my birth 1988. On calls to any of the various space station points though we still have to pay extra which is a sore point with most of todays platinum coller or intelligence level entrenpenours.

I am not yet committed to the new religion which blossomed after the Chinese robot saviour sun came up with the perfect universal solution to the world's pollution, population and political problems in 2017, But like most PC's I am strongly sympathetic to the cause.

Going now to spend fluctuating time with my new holographic crystal -- Nobody ever misses that!
