Scene One

Opening shot swings in above a tree lined neighborhood during the day with prototype electric cars transversing. Zooms into a furturistic castle type house (among older ones) into a bathroom where a woman appears to be readying to go out.

She speaks: "Hey Tom, what did you get Jr. for his birthday this year?"

Show Tom sitting on the bed opening some kind of box.

Tom: "One of the new Glo glass sets. I am checking it out now."

Show him unpacking cool looking mini sunglasses.

Tom: "These new ones have full ar/vr capabilities. The hearing monitor is built into the frames and the wireless in them is four times as fast."

Woman: "Aren't those like the ones the Shariff boy was wearing when he went crazy?"

Tom: "I think his was a prototype they were messing around with the software in it. He and his sisters are big hacks."

Woman peering around corner: "Still. I am concerned, Can you test ride it first?"

Tom: "No. It says that it bonds when first turned on with the individual wearing it to set up scenarios for them using it. If the individual first using it is not who will be the daily driver you have to call the manufacturer to get a key to reset it"

Woman: "Oh that's weird. Doesn't sound like something a 14 year old needs. He has all the other devices"

Tom: "Oh relax Virginia. Computers have been personalized out of the box for decades now. You know conspiracy theroies are for the stupids."

Virginia: "Just letting you know I think we should have waited a year or two. He's still lovesick over breaking up with his girlfriend. What if he starts getting into porn?"

Tom: "Jesus Virginia you think a 14 year old boy hasn't been into porn since he discovered it? It's got built in protection against improper online content. Supposed to better than the stuff we have on the house machines and his personal devices now."

Virginia: "Yeah I think that Shariff kid and his friend were using theirs to access bad stuff. That's one of the reasons some of them lost their minds. Where is Jr at? I've got to be at Terri's in another hour."

Tom: "He's down at the arcade with the gang."

Virginia: "Why are kids all going to the gameroom now? Those things are from my grandparent's age. These new Glo device I thought made them irrelevant again?"

Tom: "No. You have to be at certain locations to unlock some of the Glo's features. They're part owners of these gamerooms where only the parts you need to play the bigger immersive games at the arcade will load."

Virginia: "Will you pick him up I've got to get going."

Tom: "Sure. Going to do it that right now"

Scene fades out with the glo glasses being put away back into the box. As the lid is put back on a green light on the glasses can be seen momentarily turning on.
