If I lived in 2500 AD ( A wild imagination)

I couldn't wake up at 5.30 this morning. The alarm chip in my brain failed again.This is the 2nd time in 2 weeks. I woke up when I felt the food in my stomach. Thank God the food chip didn't fail.




My blood details are with the Food chip in my brain. I am assured of a well balanced breakfast, low-fat, low-sugar, vitamin-rich high-fiber breakfast. The breakfast, lunch, snack and dinner times are all pre-programmed based on my health patterns. It is 8.30 now. Breakfast just went into my stomach via the food patch on my navel.

My wife and kids are gone. They couldn't put me in manual mode to wake me up ( I've taught them several times).

They have to just press the switch near the x-2-comm box. ( Each member of a family has a manual switch incase of malfunction of vital chips in the body) . I opted for a different brand for some advanced features like stress-handling and auto-exercising, which went against me today. My wife and kids, couldn't put me in auto mode and wake me up !

(Contd..)

narayanan, that's quite amusing! ur brain chips talk reminds me what my father tells me most of the time..i am kind of ignorant towards breakfast mainly coz i do not get the time to have an early morning breakfast. My dad often scolds me, he used to do that when i was 10 years old as well, eat properly or ur brain cells won't get proper nutrition. Somehow ur post reminded me of that

interesting!!! but venkitu sir, I want to go back in time :) neenga munnadi porenga...I really I wish go back to those days when Ramayana and Mahabharatha was not an epic but a living storyline...:)
I want to go back even further and start reliving the age of flintstones :)....I know it sounds weird but this is how i feel rite now!

I d rather die than live like that. I am already leading a mechanical life, do not want to try out an electronic thing :)

Me too.!! But what if???

amrita,
Your dad is not the only one..Believe me....I do it too..every morning with my girls.!

But..thinking back...I think we had good breakfast during my days as youth. My dad..really didn't have to tell us.!

Narayanan Venkitu said...

IBH,
I agree, Let's try ..!! Maybe you can do it..!! Why not.! I'll try the future part and you do the past.!

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Vasu,
Without our knowledge we have fallen prey to several mechanical aspects of life...I am sure..this will also happen naturally.!!!

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Jagan,
I am 100% sure.!!

Thanks for stopping by.

I feel the same as you.!

I heard this morning in Radio, that the Rolling Stones concert ( Nov-2005) here in the San Francisco Area, didn't sell as expected.!

Narayanan Venkitu said...

PVS - Half the things we do today..!! If we had a choice ...would we like to do.?
I don't.!! LOL :)

Life bore-adikkadhu? Ella automated?

I wonder if any of us will live long enough to witness something like this!

Narayanan Venkitu said...

Gayathri,
true, but I think we have already accepted several automations in life.! Just think.!

I am afraid, this might happen.

By the way, if it becomes that you can live 200 years vs. standard 80-90 years by getting into all this think how many people will choose this ( assume it is affordable).

And then think of the peer pressure.!

But like you said, might not happen ( not sure) if it will happen in our generation.

Thanks for stopping by. I've bookmarked you and will read you this afternoon.
