Abstract
What is it about imagining the future, that makes the present so difficult? When should we walk away from technology? In this work of philosophical short story fiction, Greta lives in a future where technology is pervasive in our lives. Our smart clothes track our sweat, heart rate, and other body functions. Our phone tracks our viewing habits and steers us towards our goal with the aid of our smart refrigerator and our smart home. Technology even shows Greta how each of her choices effect what her future child’s life might become. This is wonderful, but it also keeps Greta living and worried about the future and too nervous to relax, be intimate with her husband, and conceive the child she sees on her phone every day. Finally, she is able to turn off the technology, and interact with her husband one-on-one, but was the problem ever really the technology?
