Role Play 2023
A: Allen B: Bert J: Jessica Y: Yoyo
Narrator(J): Bert and Jessica have decided to participate in a science experiment in 2023 in which they will be frozen and brought back to life in the future. Now, it is the year 3000.
(J woke up)
B: You are finally awake! It is the year 3000 right now.
J: Good morning. Did you say 3000?
B: We have participated in a science experiment and have been frozen, do you remember that?
J: Ahh yeah. (look up to the sky) Are these cars flying in the sky?
B: I think they are some…like new transportation in the year 3000?
J: Wow it’s so cool, it’s just like cars and motorcycles combined with airplanes! Looks really fast and convenient. Hey Bert, what are these two guys doing right here? They are just facing each other without saying a single word.
B: It seems that they are communicating.
J: No way, they are not even speaking!
B: Oh, I enjoy reading science fiction very much, and I have read about that in the future, humans maybe can implant specific chips in their brains, which allows them to communicate with brain waves. Perhaps this has already been achieved in this era.
A: Hi there. Let me have a guess, you two have participated in the science experiment as well?
J: Oh hi, you’re… (trying to stand up but fall)
A: Be careful! What’s the problem with your leg?
J: Oh, it is broken because of a car accident, and I had an amputation. Wait a minute, where is my artificial limb?
A: Why don’t try this? Nano-robot. It can treat all illnesses, including broken legs. People are not afraid of being sick any longer nowadays.
Y: (instructing) Nanoro Nanoro, go in and fix her leg, go in and fix her leg.
(Nano-robot get into J’s leg and grew a new one)
J: (surprisingly) My leg is back! This is incredible! How does this tiny robot work?
A: This is an extremely advanced technology. Microscopically, the source of the majority of illness is because of the problem of cells. This nano-robot is able to go inside your body through pores and blood vessels and repair your cells, therefore, allowing your leg to grow back.
B: Unbelievable! Obviously, medicine has also improved significantly over the past nine hundred years. The development is even faster than I thought.
A: Oh, I forgot to introduce myself. I’m Allen, also one of the participants in the science experiment, but I have already been here for six months. That’s why I can still communicate with you by speaking. And this is my robot Yoyo.
Y: Nice to meet you, I’m Yoyo, a service robot, and this is my master, Allen.
J: You are a service robot? You look exactly like a human! Cool. What can you do?
Y: I can do housework, cook, help my master to check his health, and so on.
J: Anyway, I wrote some essays and read a lot about AI robots. I remember that in 2023, chat GPT has been highly discussed, and it also makes people panic since it seems that AI will have the ability to replace the human. I’m quite curious about the employment now. Are all professions replaced by AI?
Y: It’s my pleasure to answer your question. Robots have indeed taken the place of human in many jobs, but there are still vocations that still need humans, for example, writers, artists, scientists, psychologists, and of course, those people who create robots.
J: Oh right, maybe new ideology and expressing emotion is still a problem for the robots. That’s why those jobs still need humans, because they need real people who can innovate and have ideology, instead of only machines with great intelligence and ability.
B: By the way, these “flying cars” are so cool. I really want to try to drive it.
A: Ah yes, flying cars have replaced cars in this era. Additionally, all the other transportations are maglev right now, you can travel to a place one hundred kilometers away within a few minutes.
B: I can’t wait to have a try!
A: Let’s go then. We can appreciate the view of the whole city on my flying car. I will take you guys to implant chips in your brain as well, so you can communicate with us easily by brainwave! It’s quite relaxed to let others know what you want to say by not opening your mouth.
J: Sounds interesting.
All: Let’s go！
