Counterfactual Identity in 2070

She is a college student and attending online classes only as other normal students does. There is no classroom and no school buildings but one small office which connects a network between student and professors, provide the academic and online system information, and solve students’ problems through a network. Thus, she just needs to see lecture videos, post homework on class blogs, send e-mail to professor to ask a question any time of a day through a 7 inch minicomputer which has 32GB memory, high speed internet, and diversity programs such as NCA (National Career Association) - which helps people to develop and explore their career through the online. She was registered in NCA for the medical career by a code usf0250, but not a name. Her name is Verona but it was used only when she talks with friends, family, and neighbors. School, job, and business application or paper works require her code only neither a birth date nor social security number needed. Her daily schedule is not changing most time, wake up every morning with computer alarm, see lecture videos, do part time works through the computer, and turn on cleaner robot which do all his works like vacuum the ground, wash the dishes, and take the trash out. She mostly spent a day in sitting position and not goes outside the home mostly but she is skinny and does not have a fat because there is a product which reduces a fat by just push a button on and wear around a stomach like a belt. Holiday is no meaningless, and people count it as a normal day. The only difference between a holiday and normal day is no work and no lecture. Therefore, she tries to make some difference every holiday to go to shopping and visit many beautiful places, the mountains because she likes the diversity and wants to be different from other people who well ok with the same life schedule. Most mountains of the world have been disappeared to build more buildings and hard to see original mountains. Furthermore, these are more paintings about still life than landscape. Therefore, she wears a band starts ‘I love green’ to participate earth- club activities such as written a propaganda or long essays on an earth protection website with other club mates. Like above, she likes little complicated life but she still depends her life on the techniques of the computer.
