Fictional technophile student in 2020..

Amber is woken up by the sound of her digital, wireless alarm clock telling her today's date and time "It is 8am on the 22nd May 2020..wake up". As much as she loves this alarm clock it can be a right pain as the next thing that happens is it starts beeping really loudly and moving all round the room on it's little wheels so that she can't hit the snooze button without getting out of bed. At least it works though with getting her up!

She goes into the living room and has her breakfast whilst watching the plasma TV and bluetoothing her housemate via the TV who's still upstairs in bed and also needs to get up to connect to today's online lecture. Once she's had her breakfast she turns on her laptop and makes sure the built in web cam is working. She then signs in to her university portal site and connects to today's lecture. As she does this she notices her other classmates signing in too waving at each other on the web cam links. Next to sign in is her lecturer and the online lecture begins. Throughout the lecture her classmates and herself post their thoughts and answers on the lecture in their forum for the unit.

After the lecture, Amber signs off the portal and signs into msn messenger to chat to her mates back home. Her and her best friend Tori start playing a game of tennis with their new web cam virtual reality game. Amber wins the game and is extremely happy as it's usually Tori who beats her every time! Once the game has ended, Tori and Amber arrange a time to meet up later for a coffee and Amber goes to get ready.
