Living on The Moon- Years 2100 and Beyond

Attributed to rapid technological advancements in the 21st century, it is not a surprise that concerns such as global warming and overpopulation have incited the the possibility for relocation in the year 2100.Whilst I believe that the significant majority of society will remain living on Earth, it would be most likely true for there to be development and research on The Moon .

By 2100, there will be rapid, cheap and safe access to The Moon, allowing human beings to freely commute between the two locations.Indeed, in contrast to views of how far away The Moon is from Earth in contemporary society, on the basis of efficient transportation, human beings would not be astounded by the notion of travelling to The Moon and rather be constantly expecting faster and more efficient means of travel.

There would be a multiplicity of moon colonies that would be entirely livable and potentially serve as homes for human beings. By virtue of the south polar region having more access to water, it would be more likely that the bulk of these colonies would be located in this vicinity.If need be, thousands of new homes could be built in mere days and relocation would no longer be out of the question.

The Moon would now be a core component of the tourism industry and people would flood in daily to experience life outside of Earth. Undoubtedly, the Apollo landing sites would go down as a historical landmark, allowing human beings to see and appreciate the very beginnings of history on The Moon.

Last but not least, human beings have now completely mastered gravity on The Moon as genetic engineering has allowed people to adapt comfortably to the gravity on The Moon from simulations on Earth.

My Personal Dairy:

Date: 2100 XXX XV

7:30am: I woke up by the soft and yet commanding voice from my artificial intelligent housekeeper, Mona. She is a personal assistant robot specifically designed to cater my every need. I had just installed ‘Master Chief 6.0’, ‘100 duties of a house cleaner 3.0’, ‘Chinese Kung Fu Master 2.0’, ‘Common Sense 10.0’ and various other programs necessary for her to have normal interactions with a human being, into her core processor. She speaks ‘Chinglish’ since I brought her last week from a retail store on the virtual reality, ‘Life onLine’ but I found her accent both amusing and friendly.  She can command every home appliance by her ‘Superbrain’ such as lighting and room temperature control system (it cost me a lot, because I am able to install my behaviors, tendencies, preferences and typical ways of responding to certain situations into her ‘brain’) She is like a virtual clone of me except less lazy and more knowledgeable…

 

8:00am: I washed up and took a swim in an artificial-gravity pool i.e. a circular mass of water floating in the air.

8:30am: Mona cooked me a delicious breakfast with conventionally grown food (you know how expensive they are now…) after she completed a daily health and mental check for me (blood pressure, heart rate, mood etc.)

9:30am: I suited up and put IPhone 90 in my eyes. (In case you are new in town, IPhone 90 is Apple’s new release this year, which serves the purpose of contact lenses as well as a phone with Wi-Fi, allowing me to surf the net as a 3D hologram in front of my eyes.)

10:00am: I flied to uni with my shoe-rocket called ‘feet on fire’ and I was just on time for my compulsory class called ‘Relationships between human and robots’.  In this class, I had a deeper philosophical understanding of Isaac Asimov's "Three Laws of Robotics” which are:

1. A robot may not injure a human being or, through inaction, allow a human being to come to harm.
2. A robot must obey orders given it by human beings except where such orders would conflict with the First Law.
3. A robot must protect its own existence as long as such protection does not conflict with the First or Second Law. 

12:00pm: I had lunch with my friends in the university’s food court. (They served organic food and calorie bars with different flavors. Taste really bad….Oh, I miss Mona’s Chocolate Galaxy Cake)

13:00pm: I studied at the university’s library for my test next week on the topic, ‘Alternative Reality-lives without Apple, Internet and AI’.

14:00pm: I went to compulsory body fitness class for two hours. The Instructor forced us to go through survival training in the wilderness of Ancient Africa on ‘Life onLine’ with double connections i.e. connect both our body and mind into the virtual reality. (I hate every minute there.)

16:00pm: My free time finally arrived! I had space battles with my friends on ‘Life onLine’ to practice for the World Championship in 2100, where I sliced Jupiter in half by driving my spacecraft at 8x the speed of light.

18:00pm: I arrived home when Mona was waiting for me at the front door holding her homemade chocolate galaxy cake in her hands (I really got my money worth out of giving her the ‘Superbrain’ !)

20:00pm: Mona told me that she had booked a dentist appointment for me tomorrow after she found out I have a wisdom tooth whilst conducting the health check this morning. She also told me that she had self learnt the skills to cook Chinese cuisines at home and I could try them tomorrow over breakfast.

21:00pm: I fall asleep on my magnetic floating bed while dreaming about the Space Battle World Championship where I command 3000 spaceships on the battlefield….
