Better Living Through Technology [First Period, Thurs]

Given the size of the class, Oz had dusted off the hide-out simulation from his heist class a while back, enjoy the sofa, guys. And the pizza.

"Morning, kids, this is Better Living Through Technology. It's supposed to get you up to speed on the kind of everyday technology people on the island take for granted and look at some of the ramifications of it." Oz did hope you were ready for the robot uprising. "Which means before we can get started, I need to know how familiar you are with the kind of everyday technology we take people take for granted on the island."

"So introductions, name, class, how you think your world's technology compares to here, and some gadget you've never used but want to. Then you can still back, have some pizza and consider that the only thing that's actually real in this room are us and the pizza, and can really be sure about those?"

Technology!

Peter Wiggin

Billy Kaplan

Short and sweet.

Name, class, relative level of technological progress, and some gadget you want to play with.

"Peter Wiggin, Senior," Peter said, waving a vague hand as if to imply that 1) Oz already knew who he was (true) and 2) he was really only here to continue to observe Oz in action (also true). "We're about a hundred years ahead of you, more or less, but most of our development rests comfortably in the military department."

As for gadget? Eh.

"I'm Billy Kaplan, I'm a senior, and I'd say my world is slightly more technologically advanced?" he said. "But it's not that different, thankfully. Something I'd like to play with? Maybe that Google Glass stuff? That seems really cool."
