...you can put viruses in images in the future? Wow.

[This isn't her fault, okay. The terms are too similar.]

[dereban]

Well... ah, I wouldn't call it a virus? Memes, anyway. I mean, it isn't like... dangerous, anyway.

For the most part.

But you said...you know what, maybe there's some kind of dictionary of 'net terms for cool 21st century teens I can look up before I sound any more like a grandma.

[dereban]

Urban dictionary should help.

Also 'going viral' means that it's spread around to a lot of people. Like videos and such.

[incrediblystressedout]

Ooooh, that makes a lot more sense. And I'll look that up.

[God help her.]

[dereban]

If you need help with anything else regarding the internet though, just let me know.

[incrediblystressedout]

Well...so in case I go anywhere outside of Foundation sites, is the stupidly fast connection we have here Foundation tech or is it just normal for the future? I can't tell what parts of things here are science fiction and what parts are me being a quarter century out of date.

[On the plus side, she's probably the only person here who can operate a fax machine.]

[dereban]

Well, anywhere you can get wi-fi at least you should get pretty fast connection. Unless you're in a shitty area with low bars.

Uh huh. And there's one search engine everyone uses now, right? One that reliably points to easy definitions for things people should already know?

[dereban]

Most people use Google, although there are other search engines.
