February Flasher prompt, posted by Ginny

Due to my love for Vonnegut and Bradbury as well as my recent viewing of Idiocracy (google it. watch it.), I would love to read stories that take place in the future. I'm not as interested in setting descriptions as much as what you think people will be like. So this month's flasher is to write a story that tells the reader what you think the future will be like through the characters. I know "future" could mean tomorrow so I'm going to set a minimum of fifty years from 2007. No maximum. Go wild.
