compnetwork | [VIDEO] 404: Technology Know-How Not Found

[The feed switches on to the sight of one (1) agitated lineface and her uncle, seemingly poring over Jack's COMP. Agatha looks a mite bit more irritated than usual, and Jack... looks like he's lost in concentration.]

...There is no shame in asking for help - ah, especially since the COMP already appears to be on. How did you even manage that, Uncle?

I... ... I don't know, actually. All I did was touch a few things over here... [Jack points, dejectedly, off to one side of the screen.]

... [Siiiigh.] I - Seriously?

[She shakes her head and then nods at the 'camera' as it were.]

... At any rate, er, hello network. I am Agatha Sheridan, this is my uncle Jack.

[Jack waves a bit, perhaps a little over-eagerly.] Uh... hi. This is kind of awkward.

Perhaps you have already met us. We have a request. Uncle has been here for several months already and still cannot operate the COMP properly. [She glances over to Jack, who looks back at her with a lopsided smile and a soft 'eheheh...'.] ... I'm not really much of a teacher, so if someone could explain how this thing works to him? I'd appreciate it. Thanks.

[Quietly, sounding more like a whining child than a grown man, Jack adds:]

This is so complicated, I don't see why they can't just give us cell phones...

[Well, if we want to be technical, he's not in generation with any technology, but that's a story for another time...]

The most I'm used to are desktop computers, and even then, I don't use them too often. Technology throws me for a loop sometimes.

[Ah, well that explains it.]

That's alright. My boss is bad with technology too. Apollo and I have been trying to upgrade his dumb phone to a smart phone...

... ... ...

[Just. All the confused staring.]

What... What's the difference between a regular phone and a smart phone?

Oh well... A dumb phone is your basic phone that might have text and tends to either be a flip phone or slide phone. It doesn't have the things a Smart phone has.

A smart phone tends to have a touch screen and be more media orientated.

Oh, so a "dumb phone" is like the one I use back home. Got it! I think.

I can text okay, but I try to get a hang of other things but just end up... messing everything up. I think I'm bad with complicated technology. [He scratches the side of his head nervously.]

That's alright. It's not meant for everyone. The Boss doesn't really have interest in getting a better phone and his knowledge over technology is lacking.

Well, it's kind of nice that there's someone like me somewhere in the universe, I guess!

...say, are you a big technology person? Do you think you can tell me about some of the newer things around? Aggie just gives me a look.

Yeah, I'd say I'm up with technology. [Considering sharing Widget's ability.] Sure. What would you like to know?

Well, there are some programs that I can't get to run quite right. Mostly games, you know? ...well, not so much games themselves as the programs I need to play them. It's mostly computer based, so I figured I'd ask while the topic's in mind...

[AKA, "how does shot using an emulator"?]

Hmm.... You mean like an emulator?

[She actually hadn't used emulators much due to having other things to do.]

I give you that look because I have already told you what I know.

...also, there was that one time with my computer and the popup and the virus, Uncle.

What if I want a refresher?

[Though at the mention of popups, his face turns... a little pink?]

I told you that was an accident, Aggie, really!!
