101 Things to Do
London, 2060

It was a bright, spring morning in the

year 2060 and Melanie Jones was
making a cup of tea in her kitchen. She
was an attractive woman and, although
it was only 7am, she had already done
her makeup. Melanie liked to look her
best and she was going to do her nails
later that day. She was stirring* her
coffee, when her husband, John Jones,
walked into the kitchen.
Good morning darling, he said,
kissing her on the cheek.
Good morning, dear, she replied.

John Jones was a handsome* man, with

clear blue eyes and jet black hair. He
liked to do a lot of exercise and did his
best to stay healthy. John looked at his
wife and thought that she seemed quite
nervous. She was standing by the
window and looking at the buildings
below.
Is something wrong dear? he asked
her.
Melanie made towards her husband
and sat down next to him.
Darling, Im just worried. Do you
remember what day it is? she asked.
John looked puzzled.
Its April the 3rd. I know as we have a
meeting today with Zord Clize, hes a
representative from the Planet Zaigon.
Weve been doing business with his
government for the last two years,

said John.
John Jones had an extremely well-paid
job for Transcene Intergalactic, a
company which worked with species
from other planets. The Zaigons had
made contact with Earth ten years ago.
Johns job was to do the accounts on
any business deals with the Zaigons.
His company had made a fortune.
Melanie looked at her husband. She
loved him but he was obsessed* with
his job!
Darling, your mother is coming
tonight, she said.
Oh yes! exclaimed John, I had
almost forgotten.
I think you had forgotten, said
Melanie.
So whats the problem? asked John.

Melanie smiled to herself. Men! He

didnt know what his mother could be
like. Andrea Jones was a strong
woman with many opinions. Melanie
was a housewife* so Andrea expected
the house to be extremely tidy. The
problem was Melanie hated to do
housework! She preferred to meet her
friends and do lunch in the city.
The problem is that your mother
always criticizes me. She thinks our
house should be perfect, said
Melanie, a little angry.
John could tell that his wife was
becoming angry. He didnt have time
for this!
Just at that moment, the video screen
on the wall was showing an advert
which caught his eye*. It was for a new
robot called a house-bot, a robot
which did all the housework.

Right darling! Dont worry, he said

and turned up the volume, your
problems are solved.
The couple looked at the screen. The
house-bot was made of titanium and
looked fantastic.
Would you like one? asked John.
Melanie thought about it.
Yes I would, she said.
Right then, said John, its done.
John blinked* once. This meant that he
was using his neural* interface to buy
the house-bot. A message in his brain
told him that his payment had been
accepted. The house-bot would arrive
that morning! Feeling pleased with
himself, John kissed Melanie and left
for work.

About an hour later, Melanie was

making a cake for her mother-in-law.
She heard the door buzzer. Melanie
made towards the entrance but before
she could open the door, the house-bot
walked in.
Good morning Melanie Jones, it said
in a computerized voice.
How did you get in? asked Melanie,
I didnt open the door for you.
The house-bot looked at her with its
glowing, red eyes.
When John Jones ordered through his
neural interface, we downloaded his
access codes, it said.
Melanie didnt like that and she
decided to make a complaint later.
However, the apartment was a mess
and her mother-in-law would be
arriving with John at 5pm.

Right, Id like you Melanie said,

before the house-bot interrupted.
I have assessed your housework
needs and I will begin immediately!
said the house-bot.
Melanie had a bad feeling about this,
wasnt she in charge? Or was the
house-bot taking control?
Sit! it said loudly, and began to
work.
First the house-bot tried to do the
ironing but it tore the clothes with its
sharp hands. Next, it tried to do the
laundry, but it filled the washing
machine with cooking oil! The smell
was horrendous. After that, Melanie
started to worry. The house-bot
seemed to be doing more harm than
good. She couldnt just sit and do
nothing.

Right what do I call you? she

asked.
My designation is C1-11, it said.
Right C1-11, youre making a mess.
Let me make a suggestion, why dont
you do the dishes while I make a call?
she said.
She quickly hurried to her bedroom
and made a call on the video phone.
Her husbands face filled the screen.
Melanie, he said, its not like you to
call me at work.
John this house-bot idea is not
working. Its doing damageJohn,
John she said as her husband
disappeared from the screen.
That was strange, videophones always
worked. It was technology that the
Zaigons had brought to Earth.

Just at that moment, the house-bot

entered her bedroom.
I have terminated the call, it said,
House-bot Solutions Inc. requires you
to try all house-bots for twenty-four
hours. You may not complain!
How dare you? shouted Melanie,
you ended a private call to my
husband. Ive had enough, Im leaving
As she went to the front door, she
heard the electronic door locking.
What are you doing? she screamed.
You must observe my good work. You
may not leave, said the house-bot.
Melanie was helpless. She couldnt
contact her husband and she was a
prisoner in her own home. Why hadnt
she done some research before buying
this house-bot?

For the next four hours, Melanie

watched helplessly as the house-bot
destroyed her home. It tried to do the
vacuuming, but instead it ruined her
carpet. Then, it went to the home office
and started to do her paperwork but it
shredded* everything!
Finally, she could take it no longer.
The crazy machine was about to start
cleaning her favourite painting.
Melanie made towards the house-bot
and made an attempt to stop it.
However, it grabbed* her and tied her
to a chair.
Let me go, let me go! she shouted.
Right at that moment, John and his
mother Andrea walked in. Melanie
saw the look on their faces. They were
looking at the destroyed apartment and
the mess the house-bot had made. The
carpet was torn, the curtains were

ripped, and water was overflowing

from the sink and bath. It was a
disaster. Suddenly, they saw Melanie
tied to the chair.
What on Earth is going on here?
demanded John.
The house-bot turned its metal head
and looked at the angry human.
Clients must observe house-bots
while we work. They may not
interfere, it said mechanically.
Right at that moment, Andrea walked
over to the house-bot. On the table was
a vase* of flowers. Andrea picked up
the flowers and tipped the water onto
the house-bot. There was a flash of
electricity and the house-bot stopped
moving.
John and Melanie looked at the older
lady in amazement. She looked back.

Your father bought me one of these

horrible machines last month. It
destroyed our house. Poor Melanie
must have had a bad day, said
Andrea.
Dont just stand there doing nothing,
she told her son, untie your poor wife
and Ill tidy up.
Thank you Andrea, said Melanie,
you saved the day.
Its OK my dear, she replied, I
dont know why you bought one of
those house-bots. You always do a
good job yourself. You have a beautiful
home.
Melanie didnt know whether to laugh
or cry, but one thing was certain she
would never complain about doing the
housework again!
