=== Technology ===

== Before 2105 ==

The technology of pre-2105 is notable for a few things. It was noted by many people at the time that rushing to get onto new networks and upgrade computer systems had taken on a 'New Millennium' mentality. People often rushed to buy the newest, fastest, biggest/smallest, and best.

 * The Quantum Computer Net
  * The QCN was the internet of the best computers, those that ran purely on sub-atomic particles. Having been pioneered in 2008, the technology caught up faster and faster. By 2070 there were Quantum Home Computers. Expensive, bulky desktop computers, barely faster than the lap-top sized conventional computers, they took hold slowly. By 2090 the Internet had gone through several stages: Wired, Wireless and Integrated. Integrated is when the jokes like "My toaster goes on Adult Chat room sites when I'm at work." became reality.
