Current story arc: Idiocraception – chapter: Was It the Same Duck
Steve: Nice try, Max, but the only thing we have learned from future TV, is that it sucks even harder than ours.
Max: Well, we did learn that high-performance sports have become even unhealthier than they already were…
Heidi: Hey, look here…
Zhang: A landline telephone? They still exist in this time? Alfred, is this decorative?
Alfred: No, it really works. It was the only phone system we had after The Event, but now almost everyone uses smartphones.
Zhang: Hmm, history repeating.
Steve: They managed to rebuild society and technology so quickly, yet now everyone is dumb as a brick. It must have gone south rather fast. Why?
Heidi: I still cannot explain. But, this phone gives me an idea. I want to try something.
