My scene will take place in a small
apartment with technology that is similar but more advanced than what we have today. The character will be
sitting at a small desk. On the desk there is a small screen with words, but
there does not seem to be keyboard; it is controlled entirely by voice. In one
hand she holds a pen that she is presumably using on the pad of paper in front
of the worn screen that sits on the desk. Her other arm dangles down. It has a
metallic bar running down from her shoulder to her hand where it stretches out
to each of her fingers. On her wall there will be various pieces of art and
references to pop culture in this time or in the she grew up. I will also play with colors that fit the theme of this time.
Her
apartment is small. It has a bed in the front, right corner. About a foot away
is a table with a small bottle on it. There are papers, like the ones on
her pad that she is writing on. They have words and drawings that you can
guess are her own. You notice in the very back corner a small, stationary
robot. Then you see a window.
Outside it is dark, the streets riddled with the bright lights of the crowded
buildings. But then you look closer at the buildings; they are spectacular,
their architecture nothing like you have ever seen before! They bend and twist
in magical ways. Ads have been banned from society; instead art and
graffiti, which is no longer illegal, paint the streets with vibrant
colors. This world is a world that values creativity and art over science and
engineering; it is run by the creative minds, and there are so many
creative minds.
There are
few companies that work in technology and science, and most who do have a
monopoly in their category. Amelia, the robot in the corner, has become a
standard. This robot is in most homes keeping the apartment tidy and clean.
WalTev, the television company that makes wall-sized televisions that are as
thin as paper, can be found on her far right wall. The computer company,
Destiny, which was created with the mandatory merge of Microsoft and Apple, creates
the only computers you can buy. The bottle on the table with a small logo that
reads “Lifestyle” is how most people get their nutrition instead of meals. It
has many small pills inside that contain the perfect nutritional elements for each person. Finally, the device that snakes up the arm of the
character is created by Bodycon, a company that mechanically enhances the human
body. Most people have at least one Bodycon product somewhere on their body.
Years
ago, they had simplified the world. With so many companies competing for the
best phone or the fastest computer, the world was stuck in a technological
battle that was destroying the economy. Eventually, it led to a massive
economical crash that destroyed the establishments of humanity before it could
even destroy the environment. From there, the world rebuilt itself with one
central power for all nations. In this world, there is a large ban on
advertising and the sensationalizing of material items. One company took over
most categories of technology and offered only practical needs to simplify
life.
Most in this world live under a religion that plays off the
idea of minimalism in the sense of the consumer . Since their lives are
simplified in needs such as cleaning and food, the world focuses entirely on
entertainment and creativity. This character is a writer in the height of
the what would later be known as the Imagination Revolution.
