I'm the King Of Technology

Like so, Tim and his team walked Landon and the ministers through the entire process... Letting them see how their money was used.

Some ministers already had issues they were planning to raise, while others were content.

All in all, Tim had done a marvelous job, though some regions would have to be further studied and simplified.

Many had complaints now, maybe because they hadn't seen the finished product yet.

Hehehehhe... Sometimes, seeing and using something would let a person understand.

Though they heard Tim's explanation, they just felt several things redundant.

"Overseer Tim, you said the keyboards have directional keys that do the same thing as the mouse... So why do we need the mouse then? Isn't that just a waste of money?"

"Exactly! And if the left-side click on the house is the same as the 'Enter' key on the keypad, then why don't we remove the enter key altogether to lessen the clusters on the circuit board itself?"

"That's right! And on the keyboard, I noticed that there are 2 separate number pads... One clustered together on the extreme right, and one lined up on the very 2nd keyboard row. Why the repetition?"

"They are right. Even on the board, you also have some keys like the <shift, cntrl, and Alt> keys all repaired twice or thrice. So again, I ask what other ministers do... Why make so many?"

(*~*)

.

How irresponsible of these people!

The ministers were disappointed, feeling that the answer to reducing the clusters on the internal board and system was right before their very eyes.

Yet, these 'engineers' and manufacturers had refused to take it!

You either get rid of the mouse or get rid of the repeated functions on the keyboard!

It was redundant for the directional keys on the keyboard and a mouse that did the same thing as the directional key.

Why? Why was it necessary?

And if the left button on the mousepads to be time is some them!

And for this, if many people on earth heard them, they would only look at these people like madmen.

One shouldn't forget that the computers they were making were those in the '90s

They had separate 'fat' monitors, a separate CPU for floppy discs and Cds, attachable keyboards with wires that had to be plugged in, as though one were charging an Xbox or Ps controller... And lastly, the noise was the final piece to the puzzle.

They had no freaking mouse pads on their keyboards.

That was it!

So did they think they could survive without a mouse? How can the directional keys on the keypad be enough?

Again, one couldn't take out the directional key too. And so what if there were multiple number pads?

In short, many would attest that having multiple alt, shift and control keys was essential and made things very easy when typing fast.

Hands flying everywhere drying work or gaming... wasn't it a good thing?

.

Landon took note of their complaints, trying his best to hold his laughter in.

They complain now. But wait till they use the computers for themselves. But then, they'll understand it all.

Sometimes, the simplest route might not always be the best.

Why eliminate so much when they've not even tried it out yet?

Of course deep down, Landon was planning to allow these sorts of computers to work and reign for another 5 or so years before bringing out laptops.

Undoubtedly, the current computer processors will continuously be improved during this time, but not by himself.

He wanted to see how much Tim and the rest would improve the processing units, the internal systems and everything else about computers.

Well, the good thing is that these computers were all in color, with no black and white images.

How fast they would operate and how much they could take on is something Landon wanted Tim and his team to improve for the next 5 or so years.

During this time, the already existing engineering academy would've also improved the knowledge being passed on to the engineers in training.

Landon had to constantly give room for general growth every time he wanted to advance a certain technology.

If by his time limit no one had created laptops before he did, then he would step in.

5 years looked far away, but it really wasn't.

In the next 3 or so years, he was sure he would start satellite and space technology.

Hey... If those on earth could do it using these old computers and not laptops in modern times, they too could do it.

No question there.

.

"Blah, blah, blah, blah, blah~."

Tim listened to the many questions and comments dished out to him, still having a sly smile on his face.

F***!

He too used to be like them, thinking his majesty's design of it all was redundant. But after using the computer for the past 2 weeks, forget it... Everything there was necessary.

He even played something called Solitaire, using his house at every turn.

At present, they have also created a few hard-drive disc games.

One of them was a disc having various card games like Freecell, spider solitaire and a few strange but easy ones.

Again, they worked closely with the Baymardian Game Company and his majesty to create a whole disc game for Pacman that added background stories and extraordinary adventures to immerse others into.

Learning Cds for grammar and public math knowledge were also made. This chapter is updated by N(o)vᴇl(F)ire.net

For now, they didn't have the time to change films into CDs since they were only focusing on a few essential elements first.

The primary purpose of these computers was the internet and better connection.

Emails, work messages, urgent news reports, school work, connecting with teachers, travel, job ease, port work and many every little thing in Baymard would improve because of this.

This was a new dawn in Baymard's history!

Tim watched them speak their tongues out before finally turning on the computers.

"Ministers.... Please, have a seat."
