I woke up to the voice of Alia. As a habit, I looked at my wrist for time and found it empty. Alia whispered in my ear “It’s hard to forget our Ex-es, eh?” and started laughing. The time, 4.30 A.M. flashed in front of my eyes. I just sat there on my bed thinking, how this tiny bionic chip installed in my body is influencing every aspect of my life. Just 30 years before, I needed a smart phone with alarm clock to wake me up. I had to manually feed the time. Now, the A.I powered bionic chip (I named mine, Alia) based on my sleep cycle, my appointments and my health and habits wakes me up accordingly. The camera in my contact lens records everything & uploads it in the cloud and since it is connected to the chip, it analyses everything I see. I don’t need to remember anything. Thanks to the 10G network connectivity of the chip, I rarely have any unanswered questions. Whenever my brain has a question, the most feasible answer will pop up in front of my contact lens.

Yesterday my boy taught me, how I can customize my AI according to my personality so that it can give me answers I am actually looking for. All I have to do is give permissions for the chip to access and analyse all my personal files and my thoughts. I asked him “Wont it invade our privacy? What if someone spies on us with all this information?” He said “Dad! you worry too much about these things. There is a centralized monitoring system of the government and it prevents any misuse of data by the company.” Just when I was contemplating about how the A.I.s have invaded our privacy, Alia interrupted my thoughts, saying “You’re getting late, love.”

Me and my wife work in the morning shift. In order to provide work for the huge population while automation has been replacing the man force, the work world has been divided into 3 shifts of 8 hours each. Everything is open for 24 hours a day, the restaurants, shops, offices etc., Just the workers change according to their shifts and so has their life styles. Ever since this system is adopted, the efficiency of the world has improved a lot. As soon as I got ready, I thought of taking my jetpack, but Alia reminded me of extra tax imposed of using personal vehicles. Alia called a skycab for me. Skycabs are automated cab services run on electricity. I still remember when I first saw an electric car 30 years ago which needed frequent recharging. Now these cars run on real time wireless electricity. Thanks to their efficient service, the no. of vehicles on road have reduced predominantly, so did the traffic jams and accidents.
