genessia | 4th Program

[Chihiro had purposely turned on the device for a reason. For what the reason might be hasn't become overly clear yet, but never the less it's not facing the young boy it's instead facing a rather plain wall. After around a minute or two it turns back around to finally reveal the young man's face.]

Good morning, everyone. [He has a smile that could brighten up your day as he puts the device down, leaning in closer to it. There had been something he had been thinking about and now seemed like an okay time to see what would happen. He was nervous but he knew it could help.]

I've been thinking lately about the confusion people still get into when they first arrive. Then I got to thinking about this device. [He had gone to his laptop and started to open it, spending a good minute or two pressing buttons. Once he felt conformable enough he continues talking.]

I... want to be helpful in some way so I thought about a program that can help you. Gives you information should you need it, it you give it a calender and puts certain dates on it could remind you, things like that, but I'm not sure if it's really a good idea or not. I mean it's a work in progress and it wouldn't be like the program I currently have. Nor do I actually know how to go about it, but I think having something that could help you is always a good thing right? I guess I kind of want to know if this would be something people would think would be a good idea or not.

No, that sounds useful! Like the stuff on those fancy future phones.

I guess that would be the point. Or just an electronic planner that speaks, maybe.

This place has the best technology, I swear.

Nova City has quite a good variety, I wonder if I could work something there.

I-I mean this is just a work in progress. But the technology here is certainly impressive.

Well, when I first discovered magical Internet, it was 1993 and everyone's worlds had better stuff than I did.

Which they still do.

What's magical internet anyway?

Long story. It connected you to other worlds' internet. I really wouldn't recommend looking yourself up on it, though.

I won't. I won't say I am not interested either. But I won't do anything like looking myself up.

Good. Greater minds have been broken.

I've noticed the need for better automated access to information myself.

Wh-What do you mean by that?

[he is assuming something that might not need to be assumed.]

I-I mean the welcome leaflet is nice and all, but doesn't cover what people always seem to ask. It's kind of why I want to 'update' it so to speak, but it might not be a good idea.

I'll just leave it there.

Okay...Um, I guess I'll speak to you again someday. I should go and work on a few things I'm suppose to be working on right now.

Have fun with that.

Why wouldn't it be?

This wouldn't have anything to do with... what we spoke about before, would it?

It has nothing to do with that, no. It's more how to multi produce them and the programming itself. It would need a lot of it.

You're planning to build a new device? Why not simply a program for the phones everyone is given?

The software itself ought to be simple. Something like a wiki would be sufficient. Do you have those in your world?

[OOC: must... reconcile... silliness of the mental image of Lex using the word "wiki"... with the fact that he'd be too practical not to suggest it.]

Because of how the phone works, you couldn't multitask such as talking and getting the information at the same time for example. Plus considering the size you wouldn't be able to see a lot of information at once like you could with a slightly bigger thing.

Adding to that I'm not 100% positive the programming I know could actually work with this type of phone. Not without extensive testing and I would need a decent amount of volunteers to even do that.

We do have wiki in our world, but it's not something I rely on.

So you're in need of a more suitable platform? Lexcorp does have plans to begin manufacturing consumer electronics within Nova City as soon as construction of the necessary facilities is complete.

It would be trivial to import an SDK through the Metropolis gate. If you're fast, you might be able to have a first iteration of your software ready by the time the products hit the Nova City market.

To make something like this, the possibilities of needing a suitable program is more than likely since I don't want to use the one I have just yet. [Mostly because his AI is still in the testing phase.]

I mean, I'm just one person so even so it would still take a while to create.

To my understanding, there are two parts to the problem. The first is simply to present more complete information than the pamphlets, such as the identities of City Guardians, in a convenient way.

The second is to provide automated updates to that information, which is the hard part, and no doubt the fun part for you.

The second depends on the first, so you'll have to do it in that order anyway. Why not release the software with the capacity for manual editing, and add automated updating in a later version?

That would be the case of actually gathering the information first before I could do something like this, but automated updates are actually pretty easy when you know how to do it, so it actually won't be that hard to do.

It's just the information that would be the hard part.

I'll leave the programming to you.

It was nice speaking to you. [Said with a cute smile as he bows his head slightly.]

I should get to work. [As with that he switches off.]
