He looked around from where he was, watching the humans bustle around. He didnt blink, because he didnt need to. He didnt really know what his objective was, he woke up alone with his creators nowhere in sight. Now he was among humans who took him for one of their own at a glance. Perhaps he could learn from one? He started walking, going against the flow of traffic of the bustling people.

As technology had grown, the hustle and bustle of the world had run into a thicker, more powerful thread. Technology had grown and begun to blossom to the point where it had finally started to turn to favor more advanced....things. Overall, it was completely terrifying to imagine the way this world could progress beyond the point it had already hit, especially as each day, it seemed more and more creatures of the technical variety were popping up here and there.


I wasn't a stranger to the scene of technology, namely because I had grown up with parents who closely followed the industry for their own careers and anything that could possibly come up in the future was of vast importance to them. I personally didn't favor the constant changes of it, as the thing that appealed to me most was the idea of getting from my current situation to the next without the mess of technology trying to confuse the intricate web I had started for myself. When I enrolled in university, my intentions were pure, simple, and clean. I wanted to study history, the kind of moral stuff that had made the world what it had been before technology had taken such a major leap.


I was more of a fan of flip phones and the supposedly ancient era they represented. To me, the idea of seeing a world where technology was nearly to the point where implants could be placed inside of brains to manipulate the world was horrifying. The last thing I wanted to see was a transforming planet that focused almost entirely on the idea of technology...and where it could go.


I moved to Chicago shortly after graduation. I was armed with a degree to teach, and though I wasn't able to land anything immediately, I did secure an internship at a museum. The place itself was decaying at a more rapid place than I could even believe when I stood in to observe, but I loved it. Giving tours and learning more and more about these things now considered obsolete made me feel a step closer to being the kind of person I would have liked to been...had I been born a few decades earlier.


I shoved my way through the messy crowd and took a table at a small cafe. They had outdoor seating, which still allowed me to feel somewhat better about it. People watching was, in my mind, a key to trying to peel apart the world; to take it back from its mess of complicated layers. I wanted to see the world as something better and less complex than some people saw it. Technology was a unique thing, but in some ways, it was catastrophic.


I ordered myself a cappuccino when the waitress came around, ready for a break from it all.

He honestly couldnt find a human that fit what he was looking for, too many moving around with different kinds of technology he hardly understood. Sure, he could recognize a cellphone in a human's hand but his files came up empty when he scanned them. It was slightly frustrating, to not be able to know what all was around him instantly like he knows he should be able to. Why did his creators give him such limited knowledge? He stopped for a moment, looking up at a fancy sign that said cafe on it. His processor brought up everything he knew about cafes and walked in through the door. He looked around at the people chatting either with others or on phones, though he noticed one person alone. He quickly scanned her, the files coming up female but that was it. A female human, no technology in her hands. His processor went over basic steps of how to greet a human without making them uncomfortable. He felt something in his processor click as he moved forward, the self-learning module in his processor flicking itself on, turning his head at a laughing human and blinked. He approached her with caution, "Hello there, would you mind if I sat with you?" He asked. The scan he used on the smiling human ran itself over in his processor and his lips pulled up in the same manner.
