Our Future?

The technology has advanced so much today! Imagine how it is going to be after about 20 years!!! We might possess gadgets like the ones that Richie Rich has…press a button on your watch and it will turn into a helicopter.. Even the milkman will have a laptop probably with an ERP package to track the houses to which he has to deliver milk everyday and will have tables like MM_HOUSES_ALL, MM_COWS_ALL, MM_MILKCANS..lol.. Now almost all the kids have forgotten what it is like playing in the field with friends.. they are hooked to the computer games.. I remember how around 30 of us would meet in a field near my place and play Baseball daily.. we used to have so much of fun..but now even I spend free time playing computer games.. I have become addicted to the computer.. I cannot spend a single day without using the computer 😦 There will be a day in the future when we will have a daily routine of get up -> eat -> work using your computer -> eat -> work -> eat -> sleep.. what with shopping also being done on the net!
I had received a forward long back. But I liked it so much that I had never deleted it.
Here it goes..

Operator : “Thank you for calling Pizza Hut . May I have your…”

Customer : “Heloo, can I order..”

Operator : “Can I have your multi purpose card number first, Sir?”

Customer : “It’s eh…, hold……….on……889861356102049998-45-54610”

Operator : “OK… you’re… Mr Singh and you’re calling from 17 Jalan Kayu.
Your home number is 409412366, your office 76452302 and your mobile is 0142662566.
Which number are you calling from now Sir?”

Customer : “Home! How did you get all my phone numbers?

Operator : “We are connected to the system Sir”

Customer : “May I order your Seafood Pizza…”

Operator : “That’s not a good idea Sir”

Customer : “How come?”

Operator : “According to your medical records, you have high blood pressure and even higher cholesterol level Sir”

Customer : “What?… What do you recommend then?”

Operator : “Try our Low Fat Hokkien Mee Pizza. You’ll like it”

Customer : “How do you know for sure?”

Operator : “You borrowed a book entitled “Popular Hokkien Dishes” from the National Library last week Sir”

Customer : “OK I give up… Give me three family size ones then, how much will that cost?”

Operator : “That should be enough for your family of 10, Sir. The total is $49.99”

Customer : “Can I pay by credit card?”

Operator : “I’m afraid you have to pay us cash, Sir. Your credit card is over the limit and you owe your bank $3,720.55 since October last year.That’s not including the late payment charges on your housing loan, Sir.”

Customer : “I guess I have to run to the neighbourhood ATM and withdraw somecash before your guy arrives”

Operator : “You can’t Sir. Based on the records, you’ve reached your daily limit on machine withdrawal today”

Customer : “Never mind just send the pizzas, I’ll have the cash ready. How long is it gonna take anyway?”

Operator : “About 45 minutes Sir, but if you can’t wait you can always come and collect it on your motorcycle…”

Customer : ” What!”

Operator : “According to the details in system, you own a Scooter…registration number 1123…”

Customer : ” ????”

Operator : “Is there anything else Sir?”

Customer : “Nothing… by the way… aren’t you giving me that 3 free bottles of cola as advertised?”

Operator : “We normally would Sir, but based on your records you’re also diabetic……. ”

Customer: #$$^%&$@$%^

Operator : “Better watch your language Sir. Remember on 15th July 1987 you were convicted of using abusive language on a policeman…?”

Customer : [Faints]
