This is a story from the present, not the future!

The following story about someone who tried to simply order a pizza, is about the actual technological environment we already live in. Even if for some people this sounds as something created by an anonymous human via the internet for fun, we can surely derive useful and real facts about the volume of technological adoption nowadays.
- Hello! Gordon's pizza?
- No sir it's Google's pizza.
- So it's a wrong number?
- No sir, Google bought it.
- OK. Take my order please.
- Well sir, you want the usual?
- The usual? You know me?
- According to our caller ID, in the last 12 times, you ordered pizza with cheeses, sausage, thick crust.
- OK! This is it.
- May I suggest to you this time ricotta, arugula with dry tomato?
- No, I hate vegetables.
- But your cholesterol is not good.
- How do you know?
- Through the subscribers guide. We have the result of your blood tests for the last 7 years.
- Okay, but I do not want this pizza, I already take medicine.
- You have not taken the medicine regularly, 4 months ago, you only purchased a box with 30 tablets at Drug sale Network.
- I bought more from another drugstore.
- It's not showing on your credit card.
- I paid in cash.
- But you did not withdraw that much cash according to your bank statement.
- I have other source of cash.
- This is not showing as per you last Tax form unless you got it from undeclared income source.
- WHAT THE HELL? Enough! I'm sick of Google, Facebook, twitter, WhatsApp. I'm going to an Island without internet, where there is no cell phone line and no one to spy on me.
- I understand sir, but you need to renew your passport as it has expired 5 weeks ago.

Note: I was not able to find the official source of this text. Many sites and blogs republish it without credits. In any case, the point of this post is already visible.
