It was raining. I went into a café and asked for a coffee.   1   I was waiting for my drink, I realized that there were other people in the place, but I sensed   2  . I saw their bodies, but I couldn't feel their souls   3   their souls belonged to the   4  .

I stood up and walked between the tables. When I came to the biggest computer, I saw a thin, small man   5   in front of it. "I'm Steve", he finally answered after I asked him a couple of times what his name was. "I can't talk with you. I'm   6  ", he said. He was chatting online and,   7  , he was playing a computer game—a war game. I was   8  .

Why didn't Steve want to talk with me? I tried   9   to speak to that computer geek (怪人),  10   not a word came out of his mouth. I touched his shoulder, but no reaction (反应). I was   11  . I put my hand in front of the monitor, and he started to shout, "  12  !"

I took a few steps back, wondering if all those people in the café were looking at me. I _ 13  , and saw nobody showed any interest.

  14  , I realized that the people there were having a nice conversation with their machines, not with people. They were more   15   having a relationship with the   16  , particularly Steve. I wouldn't want to   17   the future of human beings if they preferred sharing their lives with machines   18   with people.

I was worried and I sank in my thoughts. I didn't even   19   that the coffee was bad,   20  Steve didn't notice there was a person next to him.
