Journal entry: November 2050
November 2050 Dear Journal, Here I am an 80-year-old man sitting in my favorite chair with my robotic dog, Miss Pokey. I got her after my real Miss Pokey decided it was time to go if you know what I mean. Now when I am waiting for the automatic food dispenser to cook dinner, and the television turns on right in time for my favorite show I sit and remember when I did these things myself. I tried to do these menial tasks, but the alarm in this Smart house keep going off when I try. Oh, for olden times.
