'I am so sorry, I hope I am not too late to collect my purchase?! I spoke in an almost breathless state after running all the way to the factory reception room from the car park.

'No Miss Roger's you are just in time, we were expecting you. Now if you could please go through to the pickup area on the right someone will be with you shortly to finish the last part of the paper work, you will then be the happy owner of a LBT3,' the glamorous receptionist declared cheerfully as she waved her hand to the right to further direct me.

'Thank you,' I then gave a sign of relief, glad that all seemed to be going to plan. I was hopeful that it would not be long now until I bought and took home my first ever android. A purchase I had been dreaming about for what seemed like ages, and which I had saved up for over a year by living on a tight budget.

But I knew that my sacrifice would be well worth it, for the android LBT3 would change my entire life, I was sure of it! And not just because of the glossy adverts that testified to that very fact, but also off the back of what my friends and certain family members, my twin sister Tiffany to be exact, had repeated to me, again and again, all with smug happy expressions painted on their faces.
