Welcome to life in the future! You get up in the morning and look into the mirror. You've had a new treatment, so you look like a 30-year-old man. And many people at your age can live to be 120 now, so at 60, you're not old at all. What's more, science finds amazing ways to keep people healthy. For example, a new technology can help cure many illnesses. And if any part of your body is unhealthy, you can "grow" a new one in a lab.
As you get dressed, you say to your shirt, "urn red." It becomes red. In 2045, you can wear "smart" clothes.
On the way to the kitchen, you want to call a friend. Your phone is by the window because it gets its energy from the sun. But you don't need to pick up the phone. You can just touch your jacket to make the call.
It's breakfast time. You reach for the milk, but a voice says, "Don't drink that!" Your fridge knows the milk is not fresh, and tells the supermarket to replace it. Ten minutes later, you get the new one.
As you leave for work, the lights turn off by themselves. Your home goes into "sleep" to save energy. In 2045, cars drive themselves, so you just tell your driverless car where you want to go. Will all this come true? Maybe the future is much closer than we think.
