#Suavewell has potential ok

Had another science based natemance detective idea.

Knowing that Nate really dislikes modern tech does make it hard to share some aspects of the detective’s daily life. But what if they picked and dabbled in a few things in such a way Nate understood technology better than some regular people?

It’s settled that he doesn’t enjoy phones. They are developed in a way that a society who grows with them understands. It’s grown so fast and moved so quickly away from general learning resources that he doesn’t care much for learning them either.

What if the detective just, showed him technology that wasn’t so far advanced to conform to social needs. Like learning an early coding language (lol) and setting up a storage server for him to keep high quality scans of his valuable books that are falling apart from age and use? He doesn’t need to build anything, just maintain aesthetics and documents, do a small amount of scripting when necessary.

And what if he used Windows 95 to access it?? 😭 It’s not as new, pretty intuitive, and can be easily managed. On an old Compac frankestein-ed with a nicer monitor. Maybe Nate remembers a familiar model from back when they had dial up internet and computer labs at the agency. “Oh! I remember this, back when I used it once to print off map quest.”

It isn’t his go to for all his reading materials, and certainly cannot beat the feeling of a good book in his hand; but it shines a light into the detectives world and what they’re capable of.
