One Day Diary in 5 years time: 24 hours, all my interactions with media

8.00am: I wake up to my alarm which was set up on my Mac. Today's calendars loads on the computer to show me my schedule for today. I make a few video calls regarding work plans.

8.30am: I log onto various social networks from my mobile to check if there any messages or notifications to respond to. While doing this, I buy a movie by downloading it from an Internet store so I can watch it on my 3D television once I get home from work. 

9.15am: As I drive to work, I listen to podcasts on my music player which is connected to my car. Once I arrive to work, I call the office via video call to check if I have any messages to respond to before I start work.

10.00am: Once in the office, I browse my touch-screen computer and check my emails. I respond to emails and then I have an video conference call with other colleagues. I make a few phone calls by voice activation.

12.00pm: During lunch, I browse online magazines for reading material and digitally clip some articles to send to my home email so I can read them properly once I get home.

6.00pm: After arriving home after work, I watch a movie while eating dinner on my 3D television, while watching I have my favourite shows recording on my web television browser.

8.30pm: After watching a movie, I work on photography collages which I have started a few weeks ago. I can use a computer program which digitally compile photos to make collages.

10.00pm: Before going to bed for the night, I play games on my simulation console to both, play video games and exercise.

Summary: About 2 hours on the phone, 2 hours of watching TV/film, 4-5 hours browsing and using the Internet, using computer-based programs, less than hour of listening to podcasts and roughly an hour of playing video games.
