A word prompt to get your creativity flowing this weekend. How you use the prompt is up to you. Write a piece of flash fiction, a poem, a chapter for your novel…anything you like. Or take the challenge below – there are no prizes – it’s not a competition but rather a fun writing exercise. If you want to share what you come up with, please leave a link in Sammi’s Comment Section.
When I was seventeen microwave ovens and personal computers were off in the Wild-Blue-Yonder. Visual telephones belonged to the Jetsons and iPads to Star Trek. The stuff Bradbury and Clarke only imagined.
Today everyone uses Zoom.
So?
What’s the holdup with my robotic housekeeper?

LOL. That’s what I want to know. Tech has come a long way in a short time. Interesting to see what happens in the very near future. Good story.

Well, I would but George Jetson said he won’t part with it and, unfortunately, it is one of a kind.

Dear Dale,
I actually had flying cars in my first draft but had to edit it down to 44 words. 😉

Dear Rochelle,
Great question! But when that robotic housekeeper finally materializes, I wonder, will it deliver itself to your door? “Madam, I’m your new housekeeper. How can I help you?” I can almost see the look on your face. It would be exactly like mine: pure joy. :>)
Shalom,

Dear Dora,
Hm. Sort of like Ray Bradbury’s story “I Sing the Body Electric”? That was when the electric grandma comes to take care of the children. Thank you.
Shalom,

Good question, Rochelle! I like your take on the prompt. Now that there are more women inventors, the robotic housekeeper can’t be far off!
