It was raining . I went into a café and asked for a cup of coffee. I was waiting for my drink , I realized there were other people in the place , but I sensed . I saw their bodies , but I couldn’t feel their souls(灵魂) because their souls belonged to the .
I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer , I saw a thin , small man in front of it . “I’m Steve ,” he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. “ I talk with you . I’m busy ,” he said. He was chatting online and , at the same time , he was playing a computer game – a war game. I was.
didn’t Steve want to talk with me? I tried again to speak to that computer geek（电脑迷）, not a word came out of mouth . I touched his shoulder , but no reaction .I was unhappy . I put my hand in front of the monitor , and he started to shout, “Leave me alone!”
I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me . I and nobody showed any interest .
, 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.
