Waking up in 2065

When I wake up in 2065, there is not an alarm clock with annoying noise, but a device with special sounds which let me wake up naturally. The device also makes clear how much I slept, how deep, the stories I dreamed and it gives me options to deal with the mood I probably have. Next to this it gives me options what I want to wear and to eat this morning. I choose to wear the suit with the wings, today I want to fly to my job. Just a second later the suit is floating in the air in front of me. Just by stretching my arm, the suit it wrapping around me. For breakfast the device gives me the option for vitamins, energy -, and muscle pills. That’s ok, it knows what I want and need. I don’t know why I have the option to choose, maybe because otherwise it feels like I cannot choose by myself, what I think is true. When I step on the square in front of me, it takes me to my breakfast. I want to stand so I have the idea I still do things, but with the pills I can also sit all day and still feel fit. In recent year the next step was to do my hair and make-up, but with the same device I can chose how I want to look and just with a single click I change. The minutes it takes to wake up are not much in comparison to previous year, which gives me plenty of time to do other interesting stuff. I fly to my job with the suit I choose this morning, but want to pass by the Eiffel tower in Paris. It is such a nice memory of the time the world wasn’t so fast.
