I was on holiday last week. I went to Antartica. It wasn’t cold because I did it all from the comfort of my own home. I could order penguinburgers from an AI take away store.
The week before in that year, I went to New Zealand via artificial intelligence. It was quite a tour and kiwi eggs are a real delicay, although they were probably tofu with hundreds of artificial ingredients, flavourings and additives to give the actual taste.
It is easy to holiday abroad now because all reality has disappeared and artificial intelligence and artificial reality is there for us at the press of a button. As I sit here getting fatter and fatter because I don’t have to walk anywhere anymore and getting all my food and drink delivered. You just sit here in a darkened room where one whole wall is a giant screen so it gives the impression of being in vast surroundings. There are air vents which produce various smells to go along with the sights you are viewing. Your temperature is adjusted to give you an idea of the weather conditions you are looking at. You can even have rain in your room courtesy of overhead sprinklers which you can control with a blue button.
It is possible to go anywhere in the world just by choosing from a drop down menu and you can choose just what you want to see. Of course, the actual holiday does not work in real time as you can pick and choose destinations in a country without having to actually travel from one place to another, you just swipe and there you are in a space of seconds. No bus, train, ferry, ship nor aeroplane travel, button pressing is all the exercise you will get. No queus no mixing with local people.
No longer do you need passports, visas, suitcases and mosquito repellant because it is all done from the comfort of your one-roomed cube where you are kept almost captive as there is no reason to go anywhere. The fact that your main reclining chair is also a commode means you don’t even have to get off your backside to use the toilet, you just do it there and then and it is all washed away.
Holidaying in 2039 is fantastic, the world is at your fingertips, all you have to do is to exercise your fingers so you don’t get atrophy in them or arthritis. You don’t have to interact with people, you don’t have to climb stairs, aeroplane steps, mountains, it is all done for you. No need for sun tan oil as you don’t need to see the sun anymore, your cube already has mild UV lighting so you don’t burn.
Irrespective of where you choose to visit from the on screen menu, everything will be taken care of. You don’t have to do a thing, just sit there, get fat, be unfit and be extremely lonely as no one will want to be with you as they are all doing the same thing on their own too.
