I have become a teacher. Well, not in the traditional sense of a teacher standing in front of a class writing on a screen or leading an online session. I just have one student who is constantly asking questions like I did the first day of school. The problem is that she does not physically exist. Let me explain. So I graduated from University in 2062 with a degree in Computer Sciences within the top ten of my class. Mom was so proud and I know Grandmother and Dad were also watching. So after school, I started to work for Aditi Telecom as another programmer/working person/slug writing code and running troubleshooting for mobile phones. So about a year ago, Aditi started a program called Personal Secretary or Secretary for short. The premise is that your phone or node replaced my people's old desktops and tablets. The power of my node is ten to a hundred times more powerful that mom's old computer and my node is the same one I had since University. So in order for people to use this technology better and more efficiently, Aditi wanted a program that would help someone organize their online/digital life, that is where Secretary came from.
So the programmers and code monkeys like me started to create this program. We became the parents so to speak. So using all the nodes and information from the nodes we came up with a program that a user could customize and use every day. The first versions were adequate but not user-friendly enough. So the company decided that someone would use and have the secretary work and follow them every day to 'learn' the person. They asked for volunteers. Yes, I was stupid enough to volunteer. Why may you ask? Well, the increased pay and time off was nice but it sounded different. It was better than sitting at a desk all day. Mom was actually excited since she was involved in computers and IT before I was born. She talks to the secretary, which we call Munni like one of the local children. Munni, however, is a quick learner and is helping mom with cooking ideas and ordering ingredients from the local store. I am now walking around using a pair of contacts that upload all the images to my node and Munni. She is making suggestions, directions and Aditi want her to ask questions and propose surveys for people to fill out. Ah! Progress!
The question I have is. What happens when she grows up?
