I log onto a computer at the doctor’s office to say I have arrived and then wait until a voice calls me into the examination room.

There,a robotic nurse directs me onto a device and then takes my blood time later,in steps the doctor,who is also a notes down my symptoms and gives me a prescription.I pay for my visit using a credit card machine and return home without having met another human being.

This scenario（场景）is my nightmarish（噩梦般的）vision of the future,which hasn’t come to pass----at least not yet.

I should say I really do like many aspects of technology.I am a big fan of air conditioning in the summer and heaters in I am writing this because I don’t want machines to take over.

When I call my dentist's office and actually get a human being on the line,I am when I see the introduction of yet more self-service checkout stations at the grocery store,I feel like shouting:"When it comes to cashiers（收银员）,make mine human,please!"

After all,human cashiers sometimes give you a store coupon (优惠券) for items you are more than that,real-life cashiers often take an interest in particularly cute children,which can brighten a young mother's day.A cashier may also show compassion for an elderly person struggling to get that last penny out of her purse.

Machines can be efficient and cost-effective and they often get the job done just they lack an element so crucial to everyday life.

It is being human that prompts（促使）us to smile at others,which may be what they need at that it the spirit,the soul or the is something no machine will ever have.
