Intro to 21st Century American Culture - Monday - Period 5

When the students arrive, they see a row of tables along each side of the classroom. The row on the left has a number of telephones and the row on the right has a number of computers.

"Afternoon, everyone," Lorelai said once they'd all arrived and taken their seats. "Today we're going to learn about modern technology. Communication is a very important part of our society and, currently, the most efficient and widely used methods of communication are the telephone and the internet."

She went on to give a brief history of the telephone and the internet.

"Now, half of you can play with the phones and the other half can play with the computers. In twenty minutes, we'll switch, so everyone has a chance to try everything. Marty, Jaye and I will be around to help if you need it. And those of you who have already mastered these skills can offer help as well."

Whoever he'd called must've been getting an earful.

"Just keep turning it until it fits on the base and the noise stops," says Jaye, figuring he'll get it eventually.

Pete might as well be back to doing morse code, but, well, yes. He did get it eventually.

"And that," says Jaye, "is the phone."

Pete nodded, eyes wide in awe. Then he looked up at Jaye and gave her a wide grin.

Yeah, he wasn't actually looking her in the face.

"How about you give me some . . . more private lessons on that at a later time?"

Jaye cares not for pouting, and heads off to see if anyone else needs "help".

Pete tried to get the phone to play "Oh Susanna."

And possibly called Tokyo.
