The script

Panel 1

Alex, excitedly shows off a sleek, futuristic computer system in his living room. Robin, with a bemused expression, sits next to him. Sam, standing nearby, looks on with a raised eyebrow.

Alex: Look, Sam! This Interim Computer Museum is finally online! I've curated all the most innovative devices from the past 5 years.

Robin: Innovative, Alex? Is that what you call a toaster that can bake perfectly every time?

Panel 2

Alex and Robin are in a heated debate, with Alex on his computer, Sam watching from afar.

Sam: You know, Alex, it might be a bit early to call it a museum. It’s more of a marketing tool to promote the latest tech companies.

Alex: But it’s educational! Kids can learn about the evolution of computing!

Robin: I’d say it’s more about adults looking at tech as a hobby, not as something that shapes the world.

Panel 3

Alex has a laptop in one hand, holding up a flyer with a headline: "Interim Computer Museum - The Internet of Things." Sam chuckles, Robin shakes his head.

Sam: This is going to be a wild ride, Alex. You’ve just found your audience. Let’s see how long it lasts.

Robin: I wouldn’t count on it, Sam. This internet of things stuff might not last as long as you think.

Alex: Wait, Sam, have you seen this thing? It’s connected to everything! I bet we’ll be using it in 5 years!

Sam: Well, if you’re just looking at tech as a hobby, you might want to keep your expectations low.
