Fairytales? Who knows if they exist? Pables? Aren't they just for kids? Myths? Well, some still enjoys that. Legends? "That's just cliché drama. We don't even have proof to such works," she says.
What else does fiction provide? All of those are bullshits. Technology is what you should believe in. We can make anything possible with it.
Is it wrong to accept what you are used to? It is not, although I do think that it is wrong to think of something that you don't often use, as the inferior one.
Say, you were born when technology is already at its finest, where every turn you take, is filled with a sight of all the techy stuff. Would you choose to appreciate simple things like paper and pen?

Technobabble
During the filming of "Star Trek: The Next Generation", there would frequently come times when the story called for the characters (and in the early days, it was often that bane of Trekkies everywhere, Wesley Crusher, the Platonic Ideal of Dork) to fix some far-future technical problem. Which means said characters had to employ far-future tech. Which by definition hasn't been invented yet. What happened over the course of the series was that they engaged a couple of people to be in charge of continuity and technology, and the script writers would insert into the scripts, "[technobabble here]", leaving the staff TechGeek to insert the proper futuristic-sounding tech gibberish. You know: Stuff that sounds realistically scientific, but is really just verbal handwaving. "Tachyon fields"; "Inertial dampers"; and so on. Welcome to my non-fictional, non-Star Trek, highly-idiosyncratic take on tech, tech-related topics, and sometimes random stuff that's just obliquely related to tech that was triggered by me reading or hearing or seeing something that happened to drift through the wide-open transom of my brain and get stuck there. Some of the items you will see here are funny, some I hope are thought-provoking, some could probably be filed under the hashtag of #DougRant, filtered through what my life-partner calls my "weird perspective". If you enjoy reading them, then they will have served their purpose. So read on and, hopefully, enjoy!Complete

Each of us took this prompt: In a futuristic setting, technology is really advanced, but it slowly starts to turn against humanity, And made it our own--twisting it to create unique, individual stories that are no two alike. We hope you enjoy our work :) Sincerely, The Seven ScribesComplete
The Time Tower (the first visit)
****** There are certain universal desires, and chief among them is the desire to possess a button that will allow you to turn back time. The answer to all your problems. They thought that they had discovered the means to achieve the secret desire of their hearts. They thought they'd discovered magic. But we know that magic does not exist. Not in the way that most people wish it would. It was only an illusion. You cannot turn back time. You can only move forward. ****** Only two truths are certain. The Tower must come down. That is their only goal. Pima isn't certain that it's even possible, but when the task falls to her, she must try to set aside all her past fears and failures to reach into the past and change the future of the world. That's the first thing truth: The Tower must come down. The second is...It knows you're here, and it doesn't like being disturbed. ****** Note on the subtitle: Think of The Time Tower as a television mini-series. There are multiple parts, and sometimes you have to wait for the next one. Apart, they are somewhat short. Together, they are longer than a regular movie. This is part one - the first visit to The Time Tower.Complete
Digit (A Mina Ashido X Male Reader Fanfic)
Technology. A simple word, isn't it? Well... Not really. It can be anything. Your phones, your PC, or any other device you're using to read this description. BUT... It doesn't end there. Televisions, radios, refrigerators, ovens, blah blah blah, the list goes on and on. Pretty cool, huh? Well, now, let's think of technology in a fictional world. Or even better, a fictional world, where people have gone through mutations in their very genes, giving them specific "inhumane" abilities... Coined as "quirks". In the light of such mutations, people started to bring their dreams to realities, and the concept of "heroes" and "villains" came up. Such genetic mutations spread all around and now, the mutated people, or, "quirked" people, make up about 80 percent of all human life on this fricking earth! Getting back to the point, technology surely has MUCH MORE influence and practical use in this world. Now, imagine the power to control this technology. Or, having a quirk that allows you to do so. Let's join each other and follow the journey of a young man named Y/N Colomar, who has this specific quirk. Like any other kid his age, he wants to be a hero. He just wants to help others, and see people's smiles at the end of the day. The only issue is... The dude is a complete shy introvert. Best rankings: 01/08/2024: #1 in #malereaderinsert
A Whole Different Life (Book I)
"What would you rather? Floating in eternal darkness or...serving me? As my champion?" "Honestly? Neither, why in the world would I choose to be a servant in my next life?!" "Hm, then I suppose-" "Wait, I wasn't finished." She let out a sigh, trepidation heavy in my mind. She's spent her entire life in a world that was 50/50 for her...school was rough but she had companions. Her home life was great but it had its ups and downs. She was beautiful! But...she didn't feel that way. Perhaps another life could give her that? A sense of renewal, a chance to be someone better and greater than the person she originally was. "But! I'll take the latter, I could use a change. A chance to be a different me is always appreciated. After all, it's not like I'm going to be a world-renowned hero right?" ___________ What happens when you die? Do you go to a religious after-life? Do you simply float in black nothingness or do you wake up in the body of another person? Well...for 17-year old Eos Theodoric, a girl who died in a tragic car accident, she knows the answer. Waking up in the body of an animal in service to an Animal Guardian who lives in a different world known as Balerion! Get ready for this one, a fantasy life isn't what it seems! Warning(s): This book may contain descriptions of torture of a slightly graphic nature, sexual innuendos, mentions of rape in a chapter and possibly some graphic death scenes!Complete
Forget the plot, let's become a Runaway Witch!
Isn't it said that you should give away what you don't use? After losing my life, I became the Villainess in a novel I didn't even finish. That was alright; I had asked for this second chance, after all. Even if I didn't think my desperate pleas were going to be answered like this, I would not waste this chance. Living with my family was comfortable, but my ambitions were big. Still, the first thing to do was to evade the death flags. For that, I have to evade the Crown Prince at all costs. As a commoner, if he sees me and takes me as a concubine like in the original, it will be very troublesome. But what is this!? Didn't my parents tell you I was sick? Go away and enjoy the festival, and leave me alone! We don't know each other! If he is so insistent on taking me with him, then there is no other choice: I will run away from home! Mother, father, Lanto...I'm sorry. I hope your heads don't roll because of this. I sincerely enjoyed our time together. I learnt a lot from my father. Maybe becoming a wandering witch is not so bad... ... Isn't this how reincarnation stories usually go? With an obsessed male lead who suddenly shows interest in the reincarnated protagonist? But I'm completely honest when I say I will never marry or fall in love with this dude. And no, it's not just the usual 'protagonist who will later be proved wrong' talk. I will not let this become a cliche, damn it!

The 10th Circle - Abyss [Complete]
Every prototype technology has its risks. After an accident involving a novel robotic suit, Keres cadet Sky begins to have recurring lucid nightmares where she finds herself in a prison called Tartaros. Soon, one thing becomes clear: Tartaros is more than just a dream, and as the lines between reality and her subconscious begin to blur, Sky is forced to question her own perception of the world. Meanwhile, more and more mysterious accidents shake the city of Pharos to the core, threatening the safety and security of the last surviving humans on earth. Through her own accident, Sky finds herself drawn into the investigation of an enigmatic task force. The prototype technology, her dreams, a dubious doctor, a missing part of her medical files and a dark secret from her past all seem to be connected, but how?
