2040 To the Future and Beyond

Yawn, the alarm clock that is installed in my left ear started to go off. I roll out of my sleeping compartment and see my holographic outfit design center pop up, after a waterless shower I pick out a black suit and a neon green oxygen mask for the day. I jump on my hover cycle and race to class only at the speed of light because I just got a ticket last week for 188,256 Deici. Once parked in the tower and locked on to power charging I enter the learning center. I see all the age brackets that are the same age as I and after some time everyone sits down and settles in for the day. At exactly eight am earth time, the attendants come out with the dreaded syringes filled with neon blue liquid. After each student is shot in the soft spot of the neck with the lesson for the day, we all have to sit there and watch a review of the information that was just injected; they say the review sets it in the brain for life. I doubt it and I find it the most boring part of the day. By three o’clock earth time, we are free to go. Finally my friends and I head out for some synthetic food substances, there has been no real earth grown food for five years not but the synthetic isn’t that bad and its managed to keep the population of 90 million alive, so we cant complain. Then for a bit of fun we go race, the policia can’t keep up with the newest attachment for the hover bikes and we love it. Around Five pm my female parental unit called my telephonic mental attachment, I can’t pretend like I don’t hear it because its implanted in my brain. She upset and wants me to come back to port if I ever want to visit mars of the school trip I better make it fast, so I teleport back home. After a lesson on the dangers of the newest facial reformation and how the aliens are going to blow up the whole station my “mother” lets me go into my studio. I finish the mental download required for school, to prove again that the information injected made it into the cerebellum, and into the sleep compartment to do it all over again tomorrow, mental engage off!

  1. Haha there were definitely some similarities in the way we see the future but I have to say the world you depicted sounds kind of scary lol. I definitely don't want anyone injecting anything on any part of my body and it would most certainly suck if I had to answer every call because the phone is implanted into my brain. I do like the hover bikes though!
