, I realized that people they were having a nice conversation with their machines , not with people .They were more interested in having a relationship with the computer Steve . I wouldn’t want to the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines people.
I was worried and sank my thoughts. I didn’t even notice that the coffee was bad , just as Steve didn’t notice there was a person next to him.
