[ does almost trip over her leg for the vine. ]

Waa-!

[ oh.


oh, hey. ]

Hey, you found computers. Good job!

[rizomata]

[she doesn't apologize despite being a hazard.]

Yeah. They're pretty amazing, actually...

I was thinking I'd take a look inside.

[ballies]

That’s normally the best way to figure out how they work. Just be careful, if you rip and tear and the parts, or generate too much static you can bust them.

[rizomata]

I won't! I'll handle it carefully.

[She does seem to handle it as if holding something very precious. Rita loves her tech.]

So are these found all over the place in your world?

[ballies]

Basically, yeah. Less so like this, actually. Most people's computers are portable nowadays -- like phones, tablets, laptops. But more powerful computer set ups are still popular.

[rizomata]

Huh... So these ones have more power.

[She likes the sound of that.]

I grew up surrounded by books. It's incredible to think you could fit an entire library's worth of data into a little box like this.

[ballies]

In theory. If the specs suck, the portable ones could be more powerful. It’s not like I know how often this place upgrades, or what the most recent tech developments were.

… Yeah, it was pretty world changing when it happened. Lots of students just take their laptops and tablets to class for note taking, and you can upload your work remotely so it can be accessed on any device you’re logged in on. It’s all super convenient — and in theory, you kill less trees for paper that way too.

[rizomata]

Incredible... So they're not only that powerful, but they're that common, too?

[ballies]

Yup. Pocket sized power houses. They’ve been around for a while, but now they’re a huge part of everyday life. You can shop with them, order food, groceries, do your classes, pay your bills…

And that’s just every day stuff.
