The End of the Googlean Empire

For my last 2 star Assignment Bank challenge for the week I present to you all The Taking Down Google project!

I will update this more later in the future!

I’m a terrible writer but I tried guys -__-‘

~Introduction~

The date is June 3rd 2089, and earth is not at peace. The great Worldwide Web War has been causing absolute mayhem on the 6 continents. Google had taken Australia as its own personal base.

Google was the start of all this. The reason the governments collapsed. The reason why the uprising happened.

All of communications is currently under Google’s control. There was not enough of a watch put on Google, after all the interwebs are governed by no one. Now, our only hope is the resistance. They call themselves, V.I.R.U.S. (Virtual Intercommunication Reconnaissance Uprising Source).

This radical group is growing in number and skill as well as support. The world is not quite ready to trust again though and thus they work in the shadows, infiltrating via network. They meet on a certain server beyond Google’s clutches. That place has generally become known as The Source and The Source is where we begin our story. The story that will someday be written in textdocuments. The story of The Worldwide Web War.

“Geez Perry, these meetings are always called so last minute!” A solidly built man with long dark hair yelled from the kitchen.

“I know really, some of us have appearances to keep up. It’s getting really hard to come up with excuses for running off like this all the time.”

“You want a sandwich? We will probably be in there for a couple hours real time.”

“Hells yeah, got any salami?”

“You’ll take a pbb&j and be happy with it.”

“Collin…” Perry whined.

“You know I’m running low on Google stamps this week.” Collin walked in from the kitchen carrying a plate full of salami and cheese sandwhiches, and threw his best mate a cold Google Cola.

“Yessssssssssssss! Man, you are seriously the best you know that right.”

“Yeah, yeah now hurry up and eat up or we will be late and you know how freaked out they get when people don’t show up.”

The two men scarfed down their ad hoc meal and began the process that was starting up their avatars and logging into The Source server.

“See you in there!” Perry donned his VR mask and went silent. Opening his eyes, Perry was welcomed with the startup screen.

“Welcome ThePeary. Which avatar will you choose?” An A.I. voice greeted him. Perry couldn’t help but think what a welcome voice it was compared to Siri. Siri was everywhere these days, but this was a place of refuge. A place where Google’s slimy little hands couldn’t touch.

“Hello Samantha, won’t you be a dear and get me my VGear? I got called in on a last-minute gathering again.”

“Excellent choice.” Samantha had a voice for sore ears but she obviously wasn’t on Siri’s level when it came to personality even if there was something a little sinister in Siri’s words.

Perry’s body glowed white until his outline seemed to shatter and his avatar stood in his place.

“Care to take a look?”

“Might as well, I did just change the shoes on this one.” One wall of the blank space became an elongated mirror revealing a man in a green uniform with a patch on his left chest that depicted a pixilated ladybug. A solid green pear took the place of where the head should be. The shoes were black combat boots with yellow soles.

“How do I look Sam? I bet all the ladies will go nuts now that I have these babies!” Perry struck a pose and pretended to fire a gun.

“Yes, you look fine.”

“Thanks Sam, I better get going though. Collin is going to kick my ass if we’re late. Destination Source start!”

Everything went white as the initial sequence started up. A sequence of beeps sounded and then everything began to darken and take form in front of his eyes.

“Finally Perry I thought maybe I’d missed you and you’d gone on withou- Oh hey sick shoes!” A large walking copper penny with arms greeted him. The name DatCoin hovered above the avatar indicating that it was indeed Collin.

 

The 2 went on to thwart the google empire as grunts of V.I.R.U.S.

(I got ambitious and then ran out of time. Maybe I’ll make a continuation in the future XD)

Taking down Google

_cokwr: We all know that Google is taking over the world. This corporation is probably--scratch that-- DEFINITELY evil and needs to be stopped. Write a story about power hungry Google and/or other companies they own. Don't forget to include lots of pictures!, _cpzh4: Writing, _cre1l: http://imlikesoblonde.com/2011/04/06/ds106-really-is-for-life/, _chk2m: Cali4beach, _ciyn3: 114, _ckd7g: , _clrrx: , _cztg3:

Haiku

For my last submit an assignment, I went with Sofia Ahmad’s idea of using Picnik.com to create a haiku over a picture from our Daily Shoots.  I’ve used the extension cord one a few times now, mainly because it’s so hard to do anything in my apartment.  Our electricity only works in certain rooms, so there’s a million extension cords scattered about the house.  As it says in the Haiku, sad life…

The Evil Apple

Dear DS106,

Don’t be afraid of the takeover of Google.  A far greater threat to our world is the evil, all powerful Apple.  You see, money is the root of all evil, and Apple has a few billion more than Google.

Back in the 1990s, Apple was a sad place.  The computers were awful and a joke.  But then, The Almighty Jobs was begged back to his company.  He slowly reinvented Apple.

Apple’s CEO The Almighty Jobs was basically the entire company.  This man was a noble man.  He only paid himself $1 a year.  But, soon we all realized that actually this tricky guy made millions of dollars a year in other ways.

The Almighty Jobs asked us to “think different.”  Which actually meant, BUY the ipod, iphone, itouch, mac book, and every new version that they came out with twice a year. The genius behind this was that even if you weren’t sold on the mac computers, you still had to have an ipod or iphone.  We all got sucked into their branding of a lifestyle.

And, now they have not only taken over the market, pushing out worthy competitors, but they have also made policies to take away control from users.  There are no other options.  They have total control over apps and iTunes music.

Capitalism at its best.

You don’t have to be afraid of Google yet, but be afraid of Apple.

Think Different,

Jessica
