The year is 2203
by Joana Angelides
People doing almost no work more manually, everything
is done by machines and vending machines. Well, almost everything.
Ninety percent of the adult population is engaged in inventing such machines
and vending machines and construct.
The remaining ten percent are busy, keep communication
up.
After all, should the further development, and management and information are
kept in flux.
Housework such as heard in this millennium in the
realm of fairy tales and legends.
Is our already cute female robot 210th with the type
number We have it from the catalog for ministering robots, division budget.
There was a small debate between my wife and me. I was able to prevail in this
case, however, finally. She wanted a male robot with black hair and dark eyes,
the type number 209, but I liked the blond, blue-eyed female Type 210 better.
This resulted from the fact that this type had such a sweet streamlined
extension of the back and reminded me once again to our first female domestic
help Type 201, which unfortunately had a short total loss. She washed my back
up one morning and came accidentally under the running shower.
We had to do without a warranty replacement, as the
Type 201 was not approved for wet rooms.
My wife threw a short hand then type 201 in the metal press and I have a
wistful look after.
Our kitchen is fully automated and controlled by time
clocks.
To point 8.ooh morning is the coffee ready and the door of the oven opens and
fresh bread to slide out onto a wire rack. Our new house robot then takes with
her charming fingers clamp the roll and deliver it to the breakfast table, to
the already arranged plates and bowls. In her large eyes blink twice and also
twice she nods her head. At noon she raises additionally both hands and turn
the palms outward, a distinction must finally be yes.
In the original version had delivered the two buffers
on the front that had installed a sensor in order to avoid the edgy to
furniture pieces, two flashing red light, but which has screwed my wife out. It
makes them nervous. A pity, she reminded me of something.
Whenever a dish or plate to the ground falls and
shatters, triggered rolling through the noise, a small vacuum cleaner out of
his compartment under the sink sucks the pieces on greedy and crushed them like
a garbage disposal and transfer it thereafter by his long hose the drain.
Our budget includes robot then equipped with long
eyelashes eye patches and says with a synthetic, but make absolutely, nasal
voice:
"Sorry indead"
All domestic workers are "very British".
The robot series 600, are for the garden and pool
cleaning of French production.
In particular, the gardener always reminds me of Paris and a Travestishow.
Maybe because he always easy to walk the left hand and raises his head to and
fro. But perhaps I am imagining the only one. It is perhaps also the small
metal container, which the gardener with tools and pliers, always worn over the
shoulder. It reminds me of a small bag.
My wife thinks it's a shame that there are no more
drivers. All cars are now computerized. She recalls stories told by her
grandmother, who has done it again by her grandmother, that especially the
Italian and French drivers were very charming and had whistled rather frivolous
songs. So, my driver would make a whistling just nervous. I also like frivolous
texts better when they are sung.
In my office computer, besides me only one service
technician who is responsible for all computer and computer in the house.
The doors open when you approach automatically, the
elevator responds to verbal command and is also automatically transferred to
the individual floors.
His synthetic voice is emotionless and has never
grumpy or tired. Only once in all the years it happened that the voice faltered
a little and it sounded like hiccups, as one of the last robot in the Type 500
a box tipped over with champagne and it broke some bottles. The liquid flowed
into all cracks and joints and the lift stopped at once. We had to be freed by
the service robot.
And so it was just that the elevator mastered the rest of the service is very
poor, with some twitching and jerking and the voice occasionally wavered.
The voice was still two days something quieter and more hesitant, but after a
service in the General Nachstunden it worked again without complaint.
I managed to get assigned to my office for a female
robot Office.
I opted for the Type 301, with blue eyes and blond hair plugged. I have chosen
him from the catalog and made sure he had a certain similarity to Type 201, we had
to be scrapped, unfortunately. Especially so down the line from the back
........, good! I'm a creature of habit.
Since my wife rarely comes into the office, I have not
removed the two flashing lights on the front bumpers. I think it is functional.
I call him "Barbarella" to establish a bit
of personal relationship.
Well, this female robot Barbarella welcomes me every
morning now with a friendly voice, which I have programmed himself.
So send today. I walk into my office through the door and there is self
oscillation Barbarella and extends his left arm around my hat and coat to make
and receive.
She turns around and goes up to the cloakroom. In this light their lamps buffer
and remains in good time be it.
Then she turns around and strums with the long lashes and shining at me with
her blue eyes.
"Good morning, she slept well? May I serve it to them? "A sweet
voice. But I will hinaufschrauben after a few bass notes to make it even to
make a little more feminine. It sounds better and is doing just well ..
"Yes, Barbarella, please!"
She then turns around again and goes to the little
kitchen in the office and then presses a few buttons. I imagine it to me only
one, or a little shaky since the middle third of her body back and forth?
Should I correct this, or maybe I like it so?
She brings coffee and unintentionally touches the
picture of my wife from the desktop.
"I'm sorry!" She bends down and appears
unfortunately to the glass and it shatters.
"I'm sorry!"
Well, this does not sound very sincere, yes, must be due to the sound card, it
is certain emotion.
The days are always the same, no highlights, but even
without friction on the functional settlements with the help of the various
robots.
The incoming mail is left out of the pneumatic tube, already open and provided
with the entry stamp. The letters dictated to me come automatically from the
printer to my right, and signed by me and then disappear at the top drop
opening of the desk.
The majority of the correspondence expire at the above e-mails and will be
stored.
If one night left the office, then you can switch
these helpful robots using a switch on the back of the robot or on the desktop
as easy and they still remain in this position until the next morning.
Unfortunately you can not use this Precedes on the
private life.
There, you can indeed Maid Type 210 and the gardeners and auxiliary robot,
series 600, leave via the switch on the back, which is not with my wife and can
not be applied to my mother.
We are working on a new series as I could learn from a
secret document from the ministry. It is said to have given many years ago,
attempts to inflatable objects. But the research was then adjusted to pressure
from the women's organizations.
The literature also was drafted and is only to get hold of.
