[FICTION CONTEST] One Day in 2040 - 30 SBD to be won

What will life be like in 23 years from now in 2040?

What is your vision for the future? Optimistic or pessimistic? Utopian or dystopian?

I recently had my first ever go at writing future fiction (The Family : 25 December 2099 : A Bigger Place).

I'm still wondering how to take that forward but it did get me thinking.

What will my life be like in 23 years from now? I'll be 80 then and I'll hopefully have grandchildren and maybe even great grandchildren - if I make it that far.

But what will the world be like for me and my family? How far will technology have advanced? What will society be like?

So to encourage people to give this some thought I am running a little contest.

To enter all you have to do is write a diary entry - an account of a day in the life of you and your family in 2040.

It can be a typical day, or a special day. Or a day when some groundbreaking event takes place.

This is a fiction contest but it is 'easy fiction'. There has not got to be any major story arc or great character development.

It is just a diary entry. Tell it as it is, or as you think it will be.
