Project: Seed Zero

Every morning, they would receive their delivery at exactly 8:15am. John would scan the code with his arm. This would cause the screen to turn on for home class time. You heard that classic hum, and the insignia would show itself. Then, for 1 hour, we had to speak with the television. It would ask questions, teach lessons and evaluate if we learned. Every time you interacted with this thinking-picture, you just knew that it was somehow taking a part of your soul; capturing every detail about you. Facial recognition, voice pitch, body language, past behaviour vs. current behaviour, moods, known relations, interests. Finally, once it was over - the box opened.
