Television! One of the biggest entertainment Industries out there! There were plenty of forms of public entertainment before the 3 biggest. We watched Live music performances, Theatre stageplays. Public debates, Circus acts, ETC.
But then we had Radio! It was a huge hit with people, and everyone got addicted to it. And that cycle of people getting addicted to a certain thing, and elders complaining that everyone will become lazy keeps happening. Television...Internet...and now AI generated content! Although not JUST elders are complaining about AI.
And yes, when I mean people got addicted to these entertainment devices. I MEAN IT. And this one person In particular...Television changed his life forever.
Our scene opens on a young boy, Cuthbert. He was about 7. Albeit he Is quite tall for his age. but that Isn't an important factor of his unfortunate fate; we aren't reading the Tall Girl script.
He enjoyed spending most of his time playing with his toys: Rubiks cubes, Legos, chess, shape sorters...jigsaw puzzles.
He was more intelligent than the rest of his classmates. Although, most of them were Into Internet or Television. And Cuthbert didn't have either of those things. so he didn't understand the concept of them, It's as If he was a child from the 1950s.
And he was a bit neglected; His parents didn't give him much attention, and most of the time, they were at work. And his parents didn't talk to him much. But when they did, they just ask how his day was in school. They just thought he was going to go through the regular human cycle: Be born, go to school, get a job, make money, retire, and die. so Cuthbert had to mostly care for himself, that Includes making his own food. But on the bright side, he grew up with pretty wealthy parents.
He has repeatedly been told by his teachers to try to make friends with his classmates, But he lacked the social skills. when he tried to talk, he would stutter and say the wrong words. And he got embarrassed easily, so he wouldn't try talking again for a while. It was a struggle to find anybody who could be his buddy. Cuthbert was on his way to live a somewhat average life. Until...something life changing was brought Into his house...
