I take it for granted now,but when I think about that past 35 years,pretty much every⁃thing has changed. Today, in 2050, there is not a single aspect of my life that has not been transformed by technology.

For example, today I got up early to get ready for work. The new chip I had installed in my body sends signals to my brain to gently wake me up. Not only that, the chip helps my brain learn things, remember better, and be connected to the new 10G network. The chip also backs up my brain activity to the cloud in real time.Besides,this chip does a full body diagnosis of my health every 4 seconds and if it finds any issues in my body, it con⁃tacts my doctor directly.

I also love my contact lenses (隐形眼镜片). These lenses are connected to the chip inside me and register everything I see. This helps me get the information I need.Since the lenses update themselves in real time,I rarely have any unanswered questions. In fact, when my brain has a question, the answer just appears on the lenses so I can see it in front of me. It's so predictive that I sometimes don't realize that I have a question at all.

After I got out of bed, I took my breakfast pill which gives my body everything it needs. The nutritional value in these pills will probably help me live 30% longer than in the past.Of course,I still just want regular food,but it is hard to find these days and is very expensive.

After I said goodbye to my family, I put on my jetpack (喷气式飞行背包). I live in a small city so my jetpack is the perfect vehicle for traveling to work. On the weekends, my family and I often take our electric car. Back in 2013, when the first commercial electric cars hit the road, no one realized at the time that the batteries didn't work. They were too heavy. Today, cars are connected through real⁃time wireless electricity and no longer re⁃quire batteries. Of course the cars drive by themselves and in the past five years nearly 95%of all traffic accidents have been avoided globally.That's incredible progress.
