Hello and welcome to meanwhile in the future. We're back from our little break

and ready to take some more trips to tomorrow.

I'm Rose and I'm your host.

If you're new, Meanwhile in the Future is a podcast about the Future.

Every week we tackle a specific future scenario, everything from artificial

wounds to living forever in prison. Every episode starts with a field trip into the

future to check out what it looks like. Then we come back to now to talk to

some experts about what that future would really look like. Then we come back to now to talk to some experts about what that future

would really look like. Ready? Great. This week we're going to the year

2027.

Your life, your world, your energy, you live and breathe it. You touch and smell it, and now you don't have to stop to capture it.

Meet your new best friend, The Butterfly.

The Butterfly is the world's first selfie drone.

After just a few minutes, the butterfly learns to recognize your face and the faces

of your friends, family, and even pets. You don't have to worry about taking another selfie

again. No more clunky cameras, awkward reaching, or

selfie sticks. Just let the butterfly float around you, capturing your adventures, your

loved ones, and your true authentic life. The butterfly does it all gracefully, all without ever

having to push a button. Let the butterfly capture your best life. All you have to do is live.

It's a scary world out there and your kids are going to have to face it sooner or later.

How do you know that they're safe?

They're not getting into trouble. They're not taking the wrong route home.
