"Dude!"
In-office conversation:
"Well, Jim, as far as I can see we need a dedicated system this weekend for the upgrade."
"Upgrade? Why? The AS400 is simply a glorified SYS38. The only difference is the communications upgrade and we don't even need it. The token ring runs our communications through PC apps."
"I know. I told Phillips that we didn't need it that what we need is to standardize the applications for greater stability. But considering we're using apps that were originally made just to generate reports . . . Well . . ."
"Jim, you're a more patient man than me. Don't tell anyone but I'm getting out of computers altogether."
"Really? Why?"
"With the changes in software and hardware coming so fast you need to be a computer to keep up with it. And the complexity of these noodled together applications . . . Well . . ."
"I hear ya."
"Rogers!"
"Gotta go. Phillips calls."
Outer-world Conversation:
"The beings have reached the point where they require the attachments to survive. They are seldom seen without them."
"And music's rhythm is more important than its sound. They tap and punch at devices in hands, connected to ears."
"Yes, they are continually distracted."
"They are nearly ready for takeover and inhabitation. Soon, all analytical thought will be destroyed."
"Yes, I'll introduce the rest of the devices, the toering and implant computer devices."
"Great, I'll get the lotion and towels."
"Great. See you at the beach inhabitation-celebration run through."

hi jeff,
very interesting. way over my head but the last part, but reading should be challenging, and that's what you do. i was challenged to read slowly and try to figure out words i wasn't used to, while thinking of concepts i wasn't used to. good work. i think you should take an online IQ test!
best regards,

Thanks for the comments. Yeah, you'd have to know some stuff about what my students are always talking about: popular computer games, text messaging; and I was a programmer. I was going to list it under writing but I put it under computers. Lots of geeks know what's going on. Glad you enjoyed the challenge.
