Chapter 5
Upon further thought on the topic I now realize that maybe we
underestimated the potential of our little droid. It was so dumb
during alpha testing because every time there was a glitch, and there
were plenty of those, we had to shut it down to do repair or to fix
up its programming, to fix the bugs if you will. We had to wipe its
flash memory whenever we reinstalled its software and rebooted it: in
layman's terms we would reprogram it and turn it on. Whenever we did
that it would also remove data stored from the sophisticated learning
matrix that I gave it.
It was six months of development later when the beta test phase came
along. In beta testing we, and uneducated geeks that we would like
to call “Professional Beta Testers” would be given a droid of
there own to study and test, while still locating bugs and glitches.
By this time though, the public would be very aware of these things,
for Fran and her team would have banners, billboards, Internet ads
and recorded press-release videos on Youtube (because Google rules
that way) explaining to the public why these things would be good for
us, and that one would need one in their own home. Naturally the dam
religious right would be complaining about how these things would
degrade the home, family, and society, but lets face it: no one in
the modern era listened to them, for they say that about pretty well
everything and their rantings are nothing more than background noise.
