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."

Zuko was just going to stare now.

Gwynn was looking at the computer like it might bite.

Zuko recognised the monitor, but this time the display didn't show him. When he realised it were mostly words on the screen, he took a step back and decided to pass on this one.

Kaylee thought the methods of communication were much better where she was from. The phone was just kind of strange to her.

"Hi Gwynn. Need some help?" Kaylee asked. She actually understood the computer since she dealt with one at Empire Records often.

Gwynn looked at Kaylee and smiled. "Uhmm... yes, please? I have no idea what this thing is supposed to do."

Computers, he could do this. Bel started surfing the web. Whether the websites were school-approved remained to be seen.

Telephones, right. They could be that hard, could they? Afterall, he had managed to figure out how to work that so called 'voicemail' thing in his dorm room. Alfons stopped at a table to the left, eyeing the phone in front of him. Why couldn't they have had these in 1923? It seemed so much easier. Hesitating for a moment, he picked it up, only to hang it back up again.

Maybe he shouldn't be messing with things he wasn't quite sure of. And asking for help? Would be a little too embarrassing. The rocket scientist can't use a telephone, right.

Zuko knew this much thanks to Pippi. "Pick it up, punch in a number. If it beeps at you, it's working."

"The internet is shiny. You can find so much information on it," Kaylee said as she started to show Gwynn how to surf the web, starting with Google.

Alfons glanced from the phone to Zuko, letting out a small, nervous laugh. "If it beeps at me?" He picked up the telephone, once again choosing to stare at it instead of do anything from it. "Are these telephones actually working?" Might as well try punching in a few random numbers.

Zuko shrugged. "The one in our room beeped."

Peter was having fun prank calling his own mother.
