We still do many things you did, but we do them differently. For example, we now have e-friends to help us and keep us company. An e-friend is a machine that looks just like a human. It can walk and talk like humans and can do almost the same things as we humans do. My e-friend is a lot like me, and we have a lot of fun together. She helps me with my homework, and we often go swimming. She is computerized to take care of me in case (万一) anything happens, so I always feel safe when we are together. She can also send me messages, and I can download (下载) information from her memory chip (芯片). It’s so great to have an e-friend. I never feel lonely, and I always have someone to talk to. Actually, I would plan to tell you more about life in the year 3044. I have to send my e-friend to clean up my room, though.

The kids agree that immediate action must be taken to clean up the Earth. “It’s time to fix it now.” says Sorensen. “It’s not going to fix itself.” The kids do not just care about progress in space exploration. They are also interested in the future jobs. Stark hopes to compose (创作) music for TV shows one day. Abdi wants to be a business owner. Sorensen dreams about becoming a lawyer. Polley wants to be a scientist. “I don’t think there will be a lot of fast-food jobs,” says Abdi. She also thinks that everything is going to get a lot more expensive. “People will have to look for higher-paying jobs. ” Many jobs, the kids predict (预测), will be replaced by robots. “There’ll be no more factory jobs because robots can just do everything.” says Stark.
