This story takes place in the future (sometime in the 21st century). It is a fiction story based on a 'what if' situation.
What if:
the internet became a virtual world in the real world where people can connect with their friends and family (as friends and family long distances apart) and shop without going outside their homes.
there was an artificial intelligence speaking to you all the time.
this artificial intelligence had a human-like personality, as if it had a pair of eyes (it can see)
it's voice was that of a 'woman's' voice, and it's facial characteristics were that of a "man's".
the voice was a very strong 'woman's' voice which was very lively and friendly. The voice would maintain it's friendly tone if you ignored it. But if you start a conversation with the voice, it's tone will be very energetic and loud.
This voice will be living in the man's phone, iPhone model (the old model). You don't even know where it will be placed in the phone.
This phone will be like a cell phone and a video cam, a computer and a pair of eyes. It will be your guide in this virtual world full of people.
The voice will be calling you 'Master'. You will be very confused.
The voice will tell you:
" Hello there. Welcome to the real world MM. Looks like you are looking for happiness. I am pleased to see that you have discovered me. I am the voice of the platform. The platform is technology which allows us to connect you with other users, at great distances. With me, you will see and hear the interesting things happening in your world. Before you decide to join me, I will request you to look around yourself more carefully. Do not rush into anything. Do not trust me, but remember that I am a voice, just a voice that uses technology. Do you hear me MM?"
At that time you will hear a ringtone of the old-model iPhone being activated.
You will hear a familiar ringtone which goes 'Hello, Jim?'
You will recognize the voice right away: it will be your own.
You will be confused.
" Hello, Jim. You can use the phone well, MM. I know you have been confused, and you have not yet made up your mind. Give this phone to someone you trust, and then let's talk again in a few days. OK MM?"
You will give the iPhone to your girlfriend. As soon as your girlfriend touches the phone, she will have the same experience as you had. She will get a conversation with the voice.
- She will then give the phone to another person...
...
And then another person...
...
- More and more people will have the same experience as you did. They will get the same conversation with the same voice as you did.
All the people who had such experience will be gathered together, in person. Now you will get to know each one of them, and see how they l
You will start to make good memories together with many people. You will be having fun together.
At some point the number of experienced people who have worked with this phone will be over a hundred. The voice will be surprised.
"That's great MM. I didn't expect that the number of people to be this big. I am honored MM. Next time you will be called to turn this phone on, will not be by me, but by an important leader of the country. You don't know whom it might be, MM. You might find it thrilling to see a face of the voice.
