Life in the year 3044 is very different1life in the 2lst century. We still do many of the things you did, but we do them2. For example, we now have e-friends to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine that looks just3a human being. It can walk and talk and can do almost4we human beings do. My e-friend is a lot like me and we have5fun together. She helps me6my homework and we often go swimming. She is programmed to take care of me if anything7, 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 great8an e-friend—I am never lonely and I always have someone to talk9.

    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. Maybe10I will be able to travel back in time and visit you.
