A short clip from a future day at school as a teacher:
A short narrative of the future of SIRI, Alexa etc.
“Good morning Olivia, you have three new personal messages, fourteen emails I have classified as advertisements and 21 pings from your social medias.”
Waking up as usual to the sound of my personal digital assistant reminding me that while I slept the world kept turning and I missed out.
“Peda delete all email and read out my messages”
“First message is from Luke”
“Nope delete that I don’t want to hear it”
“Next message is from unknown it reads: Hello this is a message from the-“
“Delete”
“Next message is from Viv it reads: Hey girl meet me after work for a cuppa?”
“Reply to Viv: Yes exclamation mark see you there exclamation mark martini emoji kiss-y face”
“Ok Message sent”
“Peda look through the social media pings and see if any are from my list of favourites”
“You have two pings from your favourites”
“Peda reply to both pings with an emoji that makes sense”
“Ok pings sent… Incoming call from Luke”
“Ignore… better get to work. Peda start the car”
