2040Ye

Today is August 25, 2040 and it is my first year at Florida Gulf Coast University. I wake up around 8:00am and roll out of bed and head towards the kitchen. My bed can tell when no one is in it and automatically makes itself. I open my breakfast menu and select the egg whites and english muffin on the touch screen pad and then it appears on the table hot and ready to eat. When I am done with breakfast I head towards the bathroom to take a shower. The shower is already on and hot because there is a timer set on it. After my shower I step into my closet which automatically dresses me in which ever outfit suits the weather and day. My car is ready and waiting to automatically drive me to school as I watch the morning news in the back seat. At school everything is instant and electronic. There is no note taking as all of the computers are hand held and instantly record and imput all notes to word documents and dates and times to my calendar. After class I head to the restaurant that I waitress at. I take my table orders and the back at the computer I just drag the picture of the entree they would like to the correct table shown and there food automatically pops up on there table withhin one minute of hitting send. After work I go home and verbally tell my computer the answers to my homework as it types and submits it itsself. Then I head to my bed which is already ready for me.

The Internet: A clear and Present Danger?

Over the past few years technology and the internet have completely exploded becoming a large part of almost everyones lives. Now not only do we have the ability to use our laptops where ever we are, but most of us can connect to the internet threw our phones. Websites such as facebook and myspace are huge social networks and are becoming more and more popular everyday. This article starts off with a list of this that every single one of us need to be aware of every time we open our internet browser. Most of these things have been huge issues for several years and have caused alot of concern especially to parents of young internet users. I believe that the legislation does need to create laws to ban all of these things and it would only be protecting each and every one of us. Passing these laws would not be violating our civil liberties at all. I do believe that this was an effective way for Cleaver to begin her essay because it showed us the truth of what is happening today right off the bat.
