Future Shock - The Appliance It was quite the experience being "pole vaulted" four centuries ahead in time. The freak accident could never be recreated nor reversed so I am stuck here. Originally I spent some time researching the lives of my relatives after my "departure". Hooked up with a few of their descendants and all went well, but all agreed, I need a life now. It wouldn't be right to get hung up on the past, especially my past. I set my sights on educating myself about all the new technology and my personal "post history". While some of my family's decendants survived the two major wars, some had not. A few had been famous supporting the last revolution which affected about 35% of the world. (and was succesful by the way) The USA was reinstated and they brought back many traditional values, such as limited government. Similar governments appeared on "our turf" and while personal freedom is at it's greatest probably since the dawn of civilization, high technology is now controlled by those who invent it, and is denied many times for commercial or government use. These people know how technology was used against them in the past. As a Citizen you can get just about anything, except high tech information and materials. Any Citizen can get free medical care, or deny it, abortion is legal under most circumstances but rarely performed. Lacking the overpopulation problems of the early 21st century, adoptive parents are easy to find. Euthenasia is also legal, without a Doctor's opinion, but it requires a current statement by the party outlining the guidelines for it's use. Doctors aren't as rich anymore, but being educated differently they are no longer pill pushers. They are now true healers and people do them favors, and they do it voluntarily. They get a new car $2000 under invoice for example, and new cars are only about $7500 for a decently equipped mid level auto. Yes there are still some cars, even though airships, spaceships and even starships are around. There are even transporters, but they require a lot of energy and are used less, at least terrestrially because of that. To understand why we limit the use of transporters is to understand the philosophy of the time. We don't waste energy anymore. While only 20% of the power used is unreturned, your pattern will have errors. These errors are detected and corrected and need to be resent. That energy is not returned. The energy from the flawed dataquads is not returned unless you knock both transporters out of operation for 1.2 seconds per dataquad and this can add up. Going through certain types of materials and/or fields causes this. To give you an idea, if you beam straight through the Earth, it takes about an hour and a half to restore equlibrium to the "grid" . The actual transport only takes 5 seconds, but then you got 1-1/2 hours downtime to "recharge". You get lucky if someone beams TO you and is hit with a lot of errors, and that restores it to some degree and cuts down your maintanence time. Having a large power source doesn't help much, you just get to run bigger deficits. Luckily you can exchange power with anyone, and we generally try to keep the balance of energy how it started. Even if you have 1200 gigawatts, you paid for it. It will be returned, except the 20% overhead, but it might take awhile. Anyone with a surplus can exchange with anyone with a deficit, and it seems to work out. It had been a tumultuous evolution into this society, but it was worth it. After 11 years of school I was up to speed. I had been an engineer, and I am again. They taught me that the human brain hadn't really developed in the past few centuries, but with better educational techniques we could use more of our brain. They said I should be fine, especially since I had been an engineer, but I exceeded even their expectations. I had been a self taught, multi-discipline engineer. I knew how to learn before they even started. After school I was not hurting for job offers. Eventually I found the kink community. They were open and frank about things, even to "vanilla" people, a term no longer used. People don't label people, out of respect, not out of fear of reprisal, quite a difference from the 21st century. People aren't afraid to meet others off the internet because there is such a low incidence of sexual predators, con artists etc., it simply isn't an issue. By the way, any sexual predator can now be executed for forcible rape 1 at the request of the victim, but if they maintain their innocence and the evidence is not that solid, there are other ways of dealing with it. This is always decided by a jury and the victim. With our low crime rate, each case is given careful consideration, and punishments fit the crimes. For forcible rape 2 the assailant is tied to a fucking machine and the duration and severity is determined by the victim and the jury, and he could be forced to wear a chastity belt for a time afterward. This is all determined by the severity of the crime. This fucking machine is a marvel. Even though high tech wasn't allowed in it's construction it is the pretty much the punishment device of all time. First the metal cock sheath is installed. It is attached with thick wires to your body, and resting tightly on your pelvic bone. No stimulation is possible. You will wind up with a hardon and if so, hope they didn't order the spikes. There is a catheter locked in your bladder slightly overinflated and when it starts, they inflate your bladder so you feel like you have to pee. They inflate you until they get a spike in the pressure and they back it off only to 80% of that pressure. It's like having to piss so bad that you would piss your pants right now, but you can't. They maintain this pressure throughout the punishment. If your body produces urine, only enough is let out to maintain the same pressure. You feel as if your bladder is going to burst, but they'll keep it just under that pressure, it won't. What's more, they use the largest catheter that will fit, and you might be incontinent for a week or two. The dildo you are fucked with is not only expandable, but also has a through-hole for enemas, if the court so ordered. Just like the pressure sensor on your urine tube, this one can maintain the discomfort at a level judged in court. Even the size of the dildo is a regulated pressure, this way you get the same discomfort level regardless of how tight or loose you are back there. There aren't many second offenders, but when there are they are usually executed. If the need is so great that this punishment didn't work, they gotta go. People tore down the Statue Of Liberty, putting in it's place a plaquard that says: Send us your capable, your best, your intellectuals and spiritual leaders. The USA is no longer a dump. You have to EARN your place here. People who hurt, steal, exploit or otherwise don't treat others right are dealt with VERY VERY harshly here. To explain it I say this: the punishment EXCEEDS the crime. In the 21st century you could rape and kill a Woman and get sentenced to run a prison for a few years. Now, the punishment is a real deterrent. The last guy they caught stealing was about 4 years ago, and he lost everything he had. He stole about $15,000 and they burned everything he had to the ground, gave him the amount he stole and sent him on his way. He traded the trust society had in him for that amount. Do you think he'll do it again ? At the kink clubs, you use this card that you print up on your computer with your likes, dislikes and limits. The absolute limits are enforcable by contract law. When you get the card you agree to respect limits, if you don't, you have very little to fear from the government, unless they catch you if you escape us. You will be returned. If you go past someone's limits, it'll come back to you. Having the punishment fit the crime is of utmost importance. There are no lawyers in the sense we used to have them. The law is simple. You get a punishment that goes beyond your limits to the same degree or more that you violated someone else's. You do not get a choice in which direction this will go, except for permanent body modification. They can't do it to you if you didn't do it to them, but all else is fair. This is not the only reason crime is so rare. They also found long ago that environmental factors were largely responsible for teenagers being so horny and unruly. Between the superior education and other factors, there simply is no teenage pregnancy. Yes they go out on dates, and play around and pleasure each other, but actual copulation is something they avoid. A lot of problems have been solved, the only recreational drugs even available are marijuana, alcohol and tobacco. Very very few people use tobacco, and while more do the alcohol or marjuana they don't overdo. Psycological weaknesses which used to cause this behaviour are identified early in life and dealt with. The special classes developed for these students border on hypnotism, but it's not quite. They are also quite willing to attend, just as people eat right and exercise to have a healthy body, the mind is given the same attention these days. Nobody wants a weak mind. You are also allowed to manufacture anything for your own use, like if you want some cocaine or something. Selling drugs is rare, but it happens and is lawful as long as only adults are involved. It was also found that being kinky is not a weakness, it's almost considered a strength. Who wants to be strung up (or down), whipped or teased or something ? You need a higher than normal tolerance for pain and/or discomfort to enjoy it, so how is that a weakness ? This is only the beginning. What follows is alot, a family in which I have two kinky Wives, and we have all kinds of high tech bodage equipment and chastity belts. We also own a spaceship but our kids are not allowed to drive it usually. Our daughter works on the moon. I fucked the story all up really but it is still good for people who like that type of thing. Me and the Wives really do do some shit. And we're all switches. And the high tech makes things possible that are actually impossible - I think. Later we do some exploring of the world and it gets wild. Kink schmink, there is almost a real plot here. But kink is always there. You just got the prelude, but that is necessary to set the setting. I tried to get rid of it but the story will not work without the reader knowing about how it is in tha time. Period. Judge for yourself. I wriote the thingh years ago and I just fuigured it was time to throw it out there again. Most people who have read the whole thing have praised it. This is only the beginning and dioesn't have any of the juicy parts. If you want it, respond, and I will put it in here. You don't have to mail me, get on my yahoo, use your Paypal, give me your phone number or any of that bullshit. All you have to do is type YES, and hit the OK button. T^T
