"Can I get a glass of water."

​

Suddenly everything around me moved. It was pretty cool at first, but after three years of this, I guess I've gotten used to it. I was easily the first person to sign up for the Smartest Home.

 

Marketed as the upper limit of convenience, ease, and comfort, the Smartest Home is the home concept brought from the future into the present by the company Padlok. Ah, I see you're still in the year 2019. Well, here's what a day-in-the-life (because I know ya'll still watch that sort of thing) is like. 

​

This may be hard to believe, but I haven't left a radius of four feet in the past three years. I sleep standing, I eat standing, and I even go to work in this same position.

​

Things are pretty easy when your entire life comes to you. Upon asking a simple question, I can make a glass of water come to me. I can make my bed mold around me. I can have my food brought to me. I know what you're thinking, how does one have a social life in this kind of scenario. Using Facebook's virtual reality communities, it's so easy to interact with others, to go to work, and even to engage in sport. I get it can come off as weird or distant or outside the normal way to be for someone in your temporal scenario, but, if anything, it's become to be the norm now.

​

But yeah let me get that glass of water Alexa.
