In 100 Years

In another century artificial intelligence will rule humans will live like the Jetson's with robots in your homes and schools The one child only policy will be strictly enforced because there is no longer a need for many humans in the brave new world workforce Drones and autopilot flying cars will be making deliveries to your stack and pack apartments in your walled cities and no need to get up off the sofa and do any chores as Rosie the robot does that and much more Such as teaching your child manners and helping with homework taking care of the laundry while always being alert assigned to be your maid but also be your family spy as she can tell what you are thinking by looking in your eyes Big brother will also be watching your every single move so if you need to use the bathroom or have nooky... they're downright rude you'll feel like your in a movie your ancestors watched long ago when a man was being watched 24/7 called the Truman Show And if you try to run away from your camera controlled life Rosie will run after you and you will pay the price for bolting away from your nuts and bolt prison drama she'll drag you back home repeating, beep, smile, your on candid camera! 6-12-18

When wonderful turns horrible.. I can almost see it coming! And we won't seek out our true love, a computer will tell us who we are comparable with.. and I'll be in the Resistance!
