Slate: “What’s that?”

Dot: “I’m not sure, but I think he’s using it to get a pizza delivered instantly from Chicago to new Zealand.”

Slate: “Wow! I remember when Jaws was just a screen reader.”

Dot: “He says you can also use it to transport small children and pets.”

Slate: “Maybe I should reconsider renewing my software agreement after all.”
