    Life in the year 3044 is very different from life in the 21st century. We still do many of the things you did, but we do them 1For example, we now have 2to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine that looks just3 a human being. It can walk and talk and can do almost 4we human beings do. My e-friend is a lot like me and we have5fun together. She helps 6 with my homework and we often go swimming. She is programmed to take care of me if anything 7, so I always feel safe when we are together. She can also send me8, just like e-mails, and I can download information from her memory. It's great9 an e-friend-I am never lonely and I always have someone to talk to.

    I would like to tell you more about life in the year 3044, but I have to send my e-friend to clean up my room. Maybe10I will be able to travel back in time and visit you.
