House To The Future Short Story 1

Houses are controlled by complex robotic systematics and computing. Almost all the houses in our neighborhood have them. The sky was littered with the flow of traffic from flight of cars. I was not far from home as I looked down out of my window down at the four wheeled cars below on the road surface. I arrived home pulling up to my house in my Hyperdrive 200 flying car. I sat the car down "turn engine off". with that the engine shut off and the doors opened oout like bird wings.  No body was home yet being a 3D photographer I am not tied down to a set schedule. My wife was using the space monarails to go soppping with her freinds today. So its up to me to pick up the kids. Computer systems know when someone enters the house"Good afternoon Mr Clayton". I walked towards the kitchen as I ordered our Electro 900  computer system to get me a coffee. " Would you like cream with that" I looked over and replied to it. All appliances can be connected to this system, Which will allow the computer to take control of that product when asked to. The coffee machine went to work pouring me a milky coffee with cream. I went over to our lounge and sat in our hover recliner chair. Depending on what mood I am in, means either I can have it stationary on the floor or can activate its hoover function. This is through voice activation. Most products around the house that are not connected to the main computer can be commanded, with the use of your voice. Even our bed can hover whilst you sleep, if you so desire it too. I sat down on the hover chair but didn't activate it and put on my 3D glasses and switched on the TV. I sat there watching the space board championships whilst sipping on my piping hot coffee.
