Two-Faced Technology Vol.2
Technology doesn’t always pan out as it was meant to be…
(Writer’s Note)
Every few chapters that I write on how technology changes the future for the good, I will have volumes of a chapter dedicated to the previous chapters on how the technology can go wrong and become two-faced in alternate realities.)
FoodPrinter3000
After Kal Campbell launches the FoodPrinter300 and shares the formula on how to print artificial food to end world hunger, many twisted minds take it in a different direction. These twisted minds start to use these humanity-savior machines to mass-produce poisons on the next, deadly level. As people throughout the planet mass produce these vile vials, public safety becomes the major concern as anyone with the formula of said poison can reduplicate it, and with that said, the situation gets out of hands. Campbell Industries have no idea what to do and in the end, they get thrown under the bus for creating all of this mayhem just to attempt to end the suffers from the world-hunger. All for nothing.
TruthSerum
When the ancient polygraph tests didn’t cut it for experienced criminals, the ‘truth serum’ scenario was designed so the people who evade the truth for their own criminal hustles are prevented as the user is suggestible to confessing from their crimes to their deep-down secrets. However, life wouldn’t be life if there were never any troubles otherwise it would be an easy game to win. In the hands of the right people such as from cops to the military, the bottom line is that it will be used to save lives. However, in the dirty hands of criminals, these different kinds of sedative, hypnotic, and psychedelic drugs can be used to conduct illegal interrogations to do the reverse of the righteous’ goals’. The TruthSerum became more advanced as they connect the ‘Mental Constructs’ program where the scenario playing the user’s head would be projected for the audience, removing the 3% of the user lying under the serum.
Futuristic Aptitude Test
Set in the future society, teenagers are given a kind of futuristic aptitude test to successfully determine their place in the world by corresponding their personality trait or virtue with the positions needed in the world. With this method, the world will know and the teenager themselves will learn their own future place. Almost like a personnel awakening. Instead of the “barbaric” pencils and paper, the ‘subjects’ are given a serum that triggers unconscious dream scenarios, which are then monitored via electrodes and shown onscreen.
Sadly, in life, the yin-yang analogy is able to be used for good-evil; the World runs on both. The subjects’ can be injected with mind-altering drugs to achieve particular effects. Because of this, the serum’s dream scenarios can be highjacked and somehow scripted by the administrators. The serums can either. be used to make subjects passive and/or highly suggestible, or even controllable by broadcast transmissions.
Therapy Serums
Based on the serums used in Aptitude Test, the patients are injected with mind-altering drugs to achieve particular effects. The serum's goal is to help and makes the subjects passive or help them get over something. Once again this serum’s dreamscape can be hijacked thru the electrical connection from the electrodes and can make the subject highly suggestible to their “controller”, or controllable by broadcast transmissions.
