Wow, my toys can talk ...

This is a submission for the Future Writing Challenge: How Technology Is Changing Things. I’m writing this letter to my 5-year-old brother, Anup Adak, to tell him about how technology is changing things in a fun and simple way that he can understand. Anup loves playing with his toy cars and watching animal videos, so I’ll use examples he’ll enjoy! Hey Anup! It’s me, your big brother, Aniruddha! I want to tell you about some super cool stuff happening with technology. You know that tablet you use to watch cartoons or play games? And the TV that shows us those funny animal videos? That’s all technology! It’s like magic that makes things work, and it’s changing every day to make our lives even more fun. Hey you know how you push your toy car to make it zoom across the floor? Well, guess what? Soon, real cars might drive themselves! No one has to push them or even steer them—they’ll just go vroom all by themselves. How awesome is that? Maybe one day, we’ll hop in a car, and it’ll take us to the park without me or Mom doing anything! And you also know how we used to wait forever for our favorite cartoon to come on TV? Now, with technology, we can watch it anytime we want on the tablet. Poof! It’s like having a magic remote that says, “Play my show right now!” You love animals, right? With technology, you can watch lions, elephants, and even silly monkeys from all over the world—right from your bed!

Hey Anup!

It’s me, your big brother, Aniruddha! I want to tell you about some super cool stuff happening with technology. You know that tablet you use to watch cartoons or play games? And the TV that shows us those funny animal videos? That’s all technology! It’s like magic that makes things work, and it’s changing every day to make our lives even more fun.

Hey you know how you push your toy car to make it zoom across the floor? Well, guess what? Soon, real cars might drive themselves! No one has to push them or even steer them—they’ll just go vroom all by themselves. How awesome is that? Maybe one day, we’ll hop in a car, and it’ll take us to the park without me or Mom doing anything!

And you also know how we used to wait forever for our favorite cartoon to come on TV? Now, with technology, we can watch it anytime we want on the tablet. Poof! It’s like having a magic remote that says, “Play my show right now!”
