My Journey Through 2058

One day when I was walking home from work to the subway, I suddenly encountered a colorful light and fell down to the year 2058.

In my panic, a time counselor found me, he took me to a very small appearance, but inside the surprisingly large room, to see me dumbfounded, he said there is nothing to be surprised, this is a four-dimensional space. I begged him to tell me how to get back, he asked me to answer one question truthfully and he would tell me how to get back, and would give a general idea of the trends of the times. Having no choice I nodded my head like a chicken pecking at rice and agreed, then he pulled out a strange button from his pocket and said, "Just press this button and the time tunnel will open temporarily, then through the time tunnel I will be able to go back to the original place in time."

With that he asked about my occupation, and I answered truthfully, and he said that there were very few human workers in this time. He then pointed to the air in front of him and scratched, and I saw a picture of various industries in the year 2058.

Salesperson - a large 100 square meter store with superb business can be completely handled by two robots, who can put up beautiful displays, neatly stocked goods, and make sure they don't get lost. They can also understand all the inventory and know exactly the shape of the customer to give them the best service at the first time. They can do everything, one does not run orders, two robots are better and faster than five human efficiency.

Chef, waiter - the hotel's machine waiter, they can quickly remember that table customer's menu, to the fastest and safest speed to the dishes on the finish, they are on the body of the super-sensors, can be in the hotel range of accurate get to the customer demand information. For example, need to add water, need napkins, or on the dishes taste satisfaction or not, they have to as long as there is a sensor needs to receive in advance, immediately executed, the other normal work. Robot chef's culinary skills is out of this world, in the shortest and fastest time to make the most delicious and safe and clean meals. It is said that the same area, the same customer flow, their number of people is only half of our era, but the efficiency can be multiplied by N . I asked, "Don't they have to rest (recharge), or repair?" He said, all the robots, rarely need to recharge, as long as the sun power generation, as long as they feel their own power is insufficient, (except rainy and snowy days) will run to the sun in shifts, an hour of sunshine can work for twenty-four hours, minor problems they will be automatically repaired, in addition to the high price of the time to buy, the rest is all earn money.

Driver - I said I wanted to see how transportation was in this era, and the era counselor told me that black travelers without invitations were era stowaways, breaking the law and having serious consequences. Knowing better, I rushed to stop. He then took me to the window and told me that cars in this era are fully automated and robot-driven, and as long as you name a place that the satellites can locate, they never arrive on time. Rarely rarely traffic accidents, robot driving can accurately avoid any obstacles, this era car can fly independently, but due to the fear of pollution to the sky, generally still traveling on land.

I asked what to do when I encountered to touch porcelain, he was a little surprised when I informed that before 2018 many people were blackmailed for money because of their good intentions to help an old lady, he looked through the history of the present, thought for a moment and said to me:

From 2038 to the present there is not a place to touch the porcelain, not only no touch porcelain, and even stealing, robbing, stealing are very few and far between. National medical equipment comprehensive, comprehensive insurance network, medical care is the country's money, who will also go to the bumper. Even if that ungrateful want to try, the consequences are serious. No matter who, touch porcelain, theft, robbery, insurance fraud, fund-raising, all kinds of criminals, as long as the investigation, generally illegal, he even eat is a problem. First of all, freeze the bank card, can't buy anything. If it is a working person, will affect his career promotion, if it is a student will fill in their academic career black and black, if it is an old man, but also affect the children of the whole family's credibility. According to the circumstances of the conviction, if serious, will also be sent to the development of primitive new planet, where the extreme cold, Ru hair drink blood, so no one dares to commit crimes. (Listening to my creepy, suddenly recalled as a child to steal the next door neighbor's house peaches), I hurried along to cover up the inner uneasiness, that is, the air screen shows:

Cashier - a lot of the area are self-service cashier and machine cashier, the error rate is also ultra-low, greatly reducing the contradiction triggered by queuing.

Makeup artist, make-up artist - professional robot make-up artist, according to your face shape, occupation, requirements will be able to make the face you want, and their super-high technology can make people make-up, and immediately reduce the age of a dozen years. He went on to say that not only the service industry, but also the enviable high-end professions of your time, the majority of which are also replaced by robots.

Teachers - to teachers, for example, robot teachers, can prepare more humorous and more humane courses, and machine teachers according to different students relatively different tutoring.

Doctors - he said that in 2058 95% of the surgery is done by robots, no matter dispensing medication or learning new medicine, robot doctors are always the first to learn (I think of Mr. Lee Kai-Fu in 2018 seems to be a robot to help it dispense drugs to overcome cancer... ...) So there are very few human doctors, and the ones who can work with robots are also the elite of the elite

Financial investment - now the rich rich people all have financial butler robots, not only can accurately target the market economy, but also more effective to avoid risk, and greater returns.

He continued: "The robot does not need to eat, drink and sleep, no salary, year-end awards, vacation, three salaries. There is also no lateness and early departure, no negligence, glassy-eyed, no careful eyes, no pretense, in addition to charging when necessary, the efficiency is still n times that of human beings, completely killing the human beings of your time, so what is left now are the elite human beings".

I was a bit unconvinced and asked, "Where did you guys come from without us, and it was basically humans doing all of this before 2018". He told me that humans are now one half of what they were in our time for two reasons.

First: in the thousands of years of feudal society, men are superior to women, but women are slowly opening up their minds after the millennium, and in 2018, under the influence of a variety of public figures, many women are increasingly reluctant to get married, leading to a huge decline in population.

Second: the survival of the fittest, relative to marriage to find the other half, if the other party's social score is too low no possibility of finding an object, no special talents in the Earth is difficult to survive, even if over sixty years old as long as the body is healthy, will be forced to survive the pressure of forced or voluntary to the development of other primitive planets to go, where the contribution of the force at least to survive. So a few decades down, the Earth's human beings reduced by one half, leaving behind the descendants of the elite of the human race.

After listening to me feel a burst of fear, in 2018 I seem to be nothing, if to 2058, I do not have special talent, in the Earth survival are struggling, an age may also be exiled transformation. Thinking of me a burst of panic. The time counselor suddenly asked me. "Do you have any special talents?" Seeing my panic, he smiled wryly and shouted into the air, "Here comes another one who can't do anything, now send her to the newly discovered Planet X in 2018 and let her open up the land".

I yelled and pushed him away, grabbing the button in his hand. When I pressed it, I suddenly plummeted, and in my confusion I saw the colored light again. I "ah" a sweaty woke up from the dream, stunned I was thinking of the time counselor said, just now that is a field is an accidental trip, or a dream, I stupidly can not distinguish .........
