Comprehending Science & Technology, 1st Period - Monday

[imafuturist]

"Welcome to class," Tony said once he was pretty sure the trickle of students was finished. "I know, I know. Monday mornings aren't really my thing either. Bring a lot of coffee. Maybe some for me if you want extra credit."

And, let's be honest,  he'd probably drink it all if each student brought in an extra cup fir him. Coffee was part of the scientific process, you see.

"Today's easy because I don't know who all--well most of you are. We'll have to change that and hope it sticks. Try to be memorable."

Tony went to the board before frowning at the fact that there was chalk there. He was going to have to bring in his own toys for next week. But he soldiered on, writing out: 'name', 'why are you here?', and 'favorite piece of tech?'

Then he took a step back to make sure that's all he wanted to ask before putting the chalk down and wiping the dust off on his pants. "I'll go first,  I'm Tony Stark. Some of you might know me and I might know you. It's hit or miss so far. I'm here to teach. And I have to say my favorite piece of tech, other than my suit, is my phone."

Both of which he made, so.  Grain of salt,  kids.

"Your turn."

"Hi!" Rapunzel enthused, waving excitedly. "I'm Rapunzel, and I'm here because we don't have most of the modern technology they use here at home and I'm really excited to learn all about it, and there's a ton of stuff I still haven't figured out even after being here since the summer. Like how do computers even work? I know they're not magic, but you just type something into it and it does what you want, and it's amazing."

Slow down, Rapunzel. You're going to get light-headed if you don't take a breath.

"And my favorite piece of technology that I own, personally? Barry made me a hat that puts my hair in another dimension," she told the class excitedly, helpfully pointing at Barry in case they had any doubt as to who she meant. "It's really, really neat, and it's super-helpful if I have to go anywhere, like, on the mainland. And if I don't want it stepped on. That happens a lot."

Hence why she'd taken a couple of minutes at the beginning of class to pool her hair under her desk. No one needed to trip over that, thank you.

"That is a lot of hair, yeah," Tony replied, eyebrows shooting right on up. "How do you even..."

Nevermind!

"Well, hopefully there aren't any monsters living in that dimension looking to annihilate us all. Keep an eye on that. "

That would be bad.
