Week 9 - experience of a fictional technophile student in 2020

Lisa wakes up at exactly 9.30am to the sound of her 'Morning' playlist on her ipod which comes on automatically as her alarm clock.
She goes in to the kitchen just to hear her toast pop out of the toaster...she'd set it on the timer. Unfortunately she is pretty hungover from student night the ight before. Incidentally, she really doesn't feel like making her way into Uni for that group meeting.
After breakfast, she goes in and turns her laptop on to watch a bit of whoever 2020's Jeremy Kyle is! While doing this she checks her emails and social networking site updates and decides for definite she isn't feeling up to going to uni. She finds her mobile and instant messages her group members saying she isn't well and can't come to the group meeting. Funniy enough, the rest of Lisa's group who were also out the previous night don't feel like meeting up either. Over texts and IM's they decide to conduct their meeting over webcam. They all sign in, speak in to their microphones, send files, etc via a file sharer. An hour later, satisfied with the presentation they put together over the internet, the girls sign off.
Lisa sets her ipod to wake her up again at 2pm and heads back to bed.

Alyson,

Again, this is superbly imagined and very creative....whilst maintaining a definite believe-ability factor. Very good!

All the best
