Friday
8:00 When I wake up, my pet computer, Daniel, smiles at me and says “Good morning”. He makes me a coffee and chooses my “look” for the day.
9:00 At the office again. I want sunshine today so Daniel changes the lighting and air conditioning to create a 1 day. It’s great here, because I don’t have to think – the computers do everything. While Daniel organizes my schedule, I talk to friends 2 my mobile videophone.
11:30 At the gym. My computer knows exactly 3 I need to do. I don’t like doing so 4 exercise, but Daniel says I’ll have a heart attack at the age of 53 if I don’t.
13:00 Lunch in the office restaurant. We press some 5 on the food-ordering machine, and the pills arrive quickly through a hole in the table. Everything tastes really good today.
13:30 Back in the office, there’s nothing to do so I take a 6 . Daniel will wake me up when I’ve had enough sleep.
16:00 Daniel has woken me up, but there’s no work to do so I do a bit of 7 online. I love shopping. Daniel helps me find a shirt that will look good at the party tonight. He really knows what I like.
19:00 Back at home, I watch a football match, although it’s not very exciting 8 Daniel tells me the result before the end. He does that with films as well – I get really annoyed with him.
21:00 Party in full swing. As soon as I arrive, Daniel chooses me a partner 9 will be compatible. She seems very nice. I order another whisky and a red warning light goes on – I am drinking too much again!
23:00 Time 10 bed. Daniel prepares my pyjamas and my dreams for the night. I think I would prefer to dream on my own, but anyway… It’s been a good day… I think!
