OUR COMMON TASK

Due to industrialization and technization the way of working changed in

many professions. The scientific-technicalprogress shows its traces also

in all areas of daily life. Develope an idea of your future everyday life.

It’s just another day...

Every morning I wake up at half past 6 due to my

massage bed start program. I named it my „boot-program”,

because without it I won’t be in a good mood. After a

wonderful quarter of an hour, my place becomes alive: an

enticing smell of coffee invites my in the kitchen. You will

see, I’m an old fashion person who likes to begin each day

drinking a cup of hot coffee. My all-in-one mobile starts to

project on the 100 inches screen all messages received

overnight, leaving a pause for recording my answer to the

question ”Is it important or not?”. Last week I received on

Internet the last updates of my mobile Operating System.

It has a new tool, based on „voice-recognition” which

helps the user to select, save or delete information by

remote voice control. Due to the new recognition

algorithms, now I can select information even when I’m

very ill and I can’t speak loud and clear.

After finishing that task, and of course, drinking a small

cup of coffee with a slice of bread with seeds, I get

dressed for work.

Usually I’m ready in 15 minutes. Then I go into the

underground parking to get my car. I never forget the

remote control key, because without it, I’m a dead person.

Don’t think I’m a bad driver, on the contrary I took my

exam with „best”, but I need daily to select the shortest

and less crowded road to get to my office.

My car has a new GPS-4D help program, made

especially for megacities. Wiht the help of the fastest real

time communication module, the program can memorize

the starting point, the finishing point, all filters you may

select (such as: short way, detours, scheduled stops to

pick up buddies on the road etc.), and can modify (after

asking permission) the selection you made by receiving

non-stop real traffic information. I’m very proud to tell that

I designed, implemented and tested all routines for that

part of the program. And I also forgot to tell you that I’m a

junior computer programmer.

Now I’am at the office in front of my desk. We

usually stat our working schedule with a small video

conference. Our boss wherever he is, wants to discuss

with us our tasks. So, at half past 8, every day, the large

holographic monitor which occupies the northern wall of

our office, became alive, and we discuss together our

future projects. The office acoustics is amazing, so you

can hear his voice wherever you are. But all our desks

have microcips built-in that allow us to move during our

conversation. This new technology permits us to

constantly change the body position, so that old problems

regarding the improper position of human body are only

history.

Now I make a small digression: some years ago, my

parents who were also programmers were part of an

interdisciplinary working team who designed, implemented

and tested the first version of a mobile dedicated to

programmers. In that project were involved family doctors,

medical gyms teachers, physiotherapists, furniture

designers and obviously programmers. The project was not

new, but only the recent developments in science and

technology have allowed its completion.

Always do what you love and time passes

imperceptibly. This is my motto. But the passing of time

depends on the development of science and technology. I

read a few years ago about the development of

communication between people in time. It could be an

amazing discussion topic on my blogg. Imagine for

example: you have to communicate with your boss that

you are going to take some holidays. You wrote him a

letter and sent it with a carrier pigeon. And bad luck ,

there came a hawk that kills the pigeon and leaves your

request unsent. No, no, no , I can’t live in such times...I

prefer my mobile, and my ways of communication, and my

computer and ... the list is open! Really, I wouldn’t have

liked to be born in another time...

After 4 hours of hard work, I have my lunch break.

With the help of the „bio online services”, I usually order a

fresh salad, an ocean fish meal and an unhealthy hot

chocolate. Even programmers are not perfect. Ordinarily

the lunch comes very quickly, because of the good

communication between clients and services. Nowadays,

even great storms or earthquakes can’t disturb the traffic

communication between people. Internet Service

Providers are fast, efficient and they have the very best

equipped devices. All devices have independent power

sources that enable a good function in case of

emergency. Due to the development of reliability projects,

all data transmission and process centers have built-in

safety systems for functioning in case of damage. There

have been also implemented some aurorepair systems for

common errors.

The last 4 hours are usually dedicated for informing

about the newest technological issues in the world, and

for searching information regarding new projects. I always

spend that part of day near my „Touchbook” (a notebook

having a touch screen display).

I end my day editind a short video prezentation

containing an abstract which may include short reviews or

new ideas, and allways, the current status of my project,

the tasks for the next day, and my hardware and software

requirements for the future. Boss needs always those

conclusions.

The rest of the day is allocated to my family, and

friends. My very best friend works now in Vancouvert. He

found on Internet an interesting project for two years. The

job was for a junior programmer knowing C++ and Object

Oriented Languages, and compulsory, english and french.

He left our town a week ago. For the moment, he feels

very lonely, but with Internet’s help, we have each day a

real-time video rendezvous. We exchange ideas and

sometimes, we help each other.

Before entering in the bathroom, I contact my

family. In my childhood I got the habit to kiss them

goodnight, and to assure them of my love. Sometimes, we

eat together leaving the video conference program

running: virtual family meeting.

After that last video meeting, I schedule my

everyday bath: I call my remote bath control (yes, as you

guessed it is a voice recognition tool), I set the water

temperature and the water flow rate. Then, I enter in the

bath. I reset all the thoughts, and I close my eyes. And

that’s it!
