2005. 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 electronics (智能电子元件) are rearranged in your shirt to change
its color. Looking into the mirror, you find it hard to believe you're 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 breakfast cereal into a bowl, you bear, "To lose weight,
you shouldn't eat that," from your shoes. They read the tiny electronic (电子源码) 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 appears on the counter as the 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 vacations. Your
best friend even works in space. Handing your children three strawberries each, you "The doctor said you need
these for space travel" Thanks to medical advances, vaccination shots (防疫针) are a thing of the past.
Ordinary foods contain specific vaccines. With the berries in their mouths, the kids bead 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," 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 down loads and fills the viewer. Looking through
the pages you watch the news as video film rather than read it.
