Week 9: Question E

"Describe the experience of a fictional technophile student in 2020"

Christophe awoke to the smell of freshly brewed coffee eminating from his alarm-controlled beverage dispenser. In a relaxed voice he commands "Blinds - Open" to which the house computer, interpreting his voice opens the blinds in his room. His accomodation has only just been built and it's some of the most high tech student housing at MiT.

Whilst travelling down the hall he repeats his command to which the blinds open behind him at the window he just passed. Upon entering the kitchen his toast pops at the right time from his alarm trigger toaster. He then strolls into his motion-sensored shower preset to his favourite temperature. Upon finishing, the shower turns into a dynamic air dryer that dries his hair and whole body. Once dressed and in the lounge, he uses the universal remote to check his emails, call his course mates and bring up the latest news feed from the university.

After his morning ritual he jumps into his computer-controlled Mercedes which runs of hydrogen fuel cells. Whilst he is being driven to uni (by the car) he watches a selection of videos which his friends had uploaded to YouTube the night before from their watch cameras. He spends the morning attending various lectures and seminars and during his lunch break he takes a stroll in the local park. It is very sunny so he puts on his sunglasses which have got integrated internet. He checks emails and also checks at the online accessible Uni library database to quickly skim a couple of chapters of a reference text before his next lecture.

He then returns home later in the evening, uttering the commands of "Blinds - Close".
