To Mr. Johnson


The streets of Seattle passed by in blur of neon lights.  From the back of the limo Mr Johnson rhythmically tapped his finger on the leather upholstery as he listened to the classical music streaming over his PAN.  A notification flashed in the corner of his AR glasses:


NEW MESSAGES (1)


Johnson accessed the message and watched it scroll by:

<MESSAGE END::REPLY/DELETE/SAVE?>#


Hackers, he thought as he deleted the message, always thinking they can work remotely and not get their hands dirty.  Mr. Johnson smiled and continued to tap his finger to the music.  He'll learn soon enough.
