It was a dusky summer evening, I was sitting with my cup of coffee, when I got to read an article on robotic girlfriends. This was published in the top newspaper of my time. Yes, the date today is 25th August 2043.

The title of the newspaper article intruded me to read the article. What is in the article? I was wondering, wondering, and wondering. Then I gained some pressure from within to read it, given I was a single male in my 50’s and life was just going monotonous for me. I looked in for a summary of the article but there was none. So here I started reading my article. Here is the article.
