Life in the year 3044 is very different 1  life in the 21st century. We still do many of the things you do, but we do them 2  For example, we now have e-friends to help us and company us. An e-friend is a machine that looks just 3 a human being. It can walk and talk and can do almost 4 we human beings do. My e- friend is a lot like me and we have 5 fun together. She helps me 6 my homework and we often go swimming. She is programmed to take care of me if anything 7, so I always feel safe when we are together.  She can also send me messages, just like old-fashioned emails, and I can download information from her memory. It's great  8an e-friend--I am never lonely and I always have someone to talk 9.

    I would like to tell you more about life in the year 3044, but I have to send my e-friend to clean up my room. Maybe 10 I will be able to travel back in time and visit you.
