Good question.

There's the traditional way, but we also have machines dedicated to that activity.

They're pretty advanced anthropomorphic machines with averagely functioning AI's. Not robots, mind you.

They're really expensive and they can be customized in any way you want.

I'd say people still prefer the human x human interaction tho.

Have you ever wanted to reach someone from the distant future, and maybe have a nice talk with them? Just to know what our choices have lead humanity to? I’ve imagined it so many times… and that’s why I’ve been working on a side blog I created, it’s more than a game than anything. But I’ve been reading lots of studies about how the world is going to be 100 years for now. I’ve taken notes and got a general idea. So, here I present you:

Nick 25 years old,single. Born November the 17th, 2094. Answering your questions from 2119.

Ask whatever you like: have we reached Mars? Is humanity still healthy and happy? What about Earth?There are still animals on it? What about food?

Want to know more about Nick? About his work? His family? His hobbies? Of course! He’s pretty eloquent so don’t be shy.

I’ll try to be as  coherent  as possible, but I’m not a scientist (nor Nick of course) so maybe regarding some arguments  I won’t be as  reliable  as you may want. But I’ll try.

There’s a lot to say, because a lot have happened.

Yoo bro? How's going? I'm good.

Global political situation uh? Well... let's say it's...stable. But mistakes...BIG mistakes has been taken, especially between 2070 and 2080. Those were some taught times, both political and environmental. From what my parents and especially grandparents had been told me, it felt like the Earth was about to collapse on itself. There was "The drought" of 2053, and in 2076 an Earthquake so devastating hit one particular place, but it was so bad the whole world was influenced by it. It was HOT, and...a lot of people had died.

Then, in 2088 there was the invisible war. Here's the thing: in my times every single human being is basically a data on the system. For example at the end of each and every day, my phone upload to the system EVERYTHING that has happened to me, from the serial number of my "Vtol" to the number of beats my heart has made. This has a lot of positives but...a lot of negatives. The wars we fights today are virtual fights, in which one nation tries to overcome the other with a massive hacker attack, one that would delete banks account, robbing billions of people of their lives. Some nation got really close to that in 2088 and for the love of me I have no fucking idea of how they managed to survive especially with the security system they had at the time.

We take privacy really, REALLY seriously and from what I know, personal data are well protected and strictly confidential (that's kind of my job too, and I take it very seriously)

Hi elkebabo! Unfortunately Tumblr doesn't "exist" anymore, in the sense that if you look for it you can still find some of its data on the system, but it's not available for users anymore.

We do have some social media platforms, one of the most popular right now is called "me". It owes its popularity thanks to one of its many feature, and that is that its create a real time copy of you and it can be seen on the system, like...if you change clothes or hairstyle the copy will do that too. You can also interact with the copy of someone else to a certain level, like asking "what are you doing?" or "want to meet later?" and the "me" AI system will answer accordingly to the account's owner personality and habits.

It's pretty cool. I don't use social media that much tho.

Hello friend! Thanks a lot for your questions, I was waiting for them and I can't wait to answer them:

Space technology has vastly advanced from your times. Just to let you understand, my first school trip was to the moon, and I was just eight. From what I know, it might sound pretty amazing for you, but for us it's everyday reality. I remember it was a bit of a boring trip. But let's get some facts down:

The very first expedition to Mars was launched between 2039 and 2040. It was an amazing job from what my grandparents told me. But it would be another 10 years before the first functioning settlement was established. Now on Mars lives about...one billion humans. There are cities that are way more advanced than the ones on Earth and it's one of the most tourist attraction for vacation. I'm planning my third vacation on Mars.

The moon had gone to a similar process, but it was simply too dangerous to establish a permanent settlement on its surface, considering there's no atmosphere to protect the surface from asteroids and UV ray so, in 2053 the moon has officially become a space slipway. In which, thanks to a orbital elevator, ships are supplied to began their journey to Mars. Apparently it's way more convenient this way than departing directly from Earth.

No aliens yet, but... we're still hoping. Who knows.

Oye hermano! Por supuesto que te entiendo! But only thanks to the instant translator of my pad 😉 thank you so much for your question and I'm so sorry for the late reply.

Alright, let me tell you a little about me.

I work for a company called S.C.A. (senior citizens assistance) you see, in my society, older people are the majority of the population, but many of them don't feel comfortable with the most recent technologies, which is mostly used to monitoring their health. My work consist of give assistance to these people and make sure that their data are correctly uploaded to the system and most of all that all of their data are safe. Unfortunately, like your days, older people are also the most vulnerable to scammers. Unfortunately what they risk is not their money, but their life. Robbing them of their data means that they can't be uploaded to the system anymore, and that means they can't receive medical assistance when needed.

My job gave me the opportunity to learn a lot of things from the past. So many people from the far 2050, or even 2040, they told me so many things. You guys sure had your share of taught times, and that's what inspired me to try this simulations. There's this woman, Greta, she's currently 107, she was born in 2012 and she told me a story about a virus hitting the world in the early month of 2020. She told me about the quarantine and how she, as a child, didn't realize what kind of trouble the world was living. Things like that are unthinkable in my time.

My life is pretty ordinary and there's nothing really special about it, but if you're curious, please ask me anything you like, even more specifically.

Again, I'm so sorry for the late reply hermano. Please be safe.

I'm 25, class of 2094.

Being hacked is the most dangerous risk. Entire nations works diligently and very hard to maintain the system protected and secure from hackers attack. Wars are fought this way nowadays, tho there's hasn't be a true breakthrough the system for what I know. We wouldn't be here otherwise.

It's something we are terrified of, I have to confess that. And I just don't understand why you know? Humanity is still very, very, stupid.

Oh I heard about that, and they were used for some time...but the problem was that using a chip that was constantly at everyone and everything disposal was particularly dangerous for your privacy. The system we use today gives you the power to decide if you want to share your information with let's say...some companies in which you interact. A chip doesn't give you that, because it's simply and passively there. Not to mention mostly of the basic information someone need, let's say, to make a trip, is possible just with facial scanning and recognition.

Also, there was a high risk of infection, so image the money to constantly change and be sure that the chip was in good condition. Ugh
