[STOP SENRI DON'T DO THIS TO HIM HE'S GONNA DIE OF PURE NERD DESIRE AND NOW HE HAS SO MANY GODDAMN QUESTIONS]
Oh man, you can't just drop something like that on me and not explain a little more! Is it just a giant database? Except you said it involves realtime communications, so it has to be utilizing at least a few different programs at once...
Ummmmm - I'll do the best that I can! It's actually super common where I come from, so I sort of just accepted it as what's always been there? Buuuuut - [he'll tap the web browser app on his phone, even if it brings him up to a network not detected page] - I use that app! Normally this is where you could look at a bunch of different websites that other people make. You can use them for messaging, or shopping, or looking at funny videos people take of their cats.
[that's the internet.]
It's just that easy! Does that mean in Guy-san's world that you still use... letters? Carrier pigeons? Smoke signals?
Ahahah... oh come on, smoke signals? We're not that primitive.
[HE'S HURT, SENRI, GOD.]
The other two are good guesses, though. Carrier pigeons tend to be limited to the government and military for emergencies, especially in wartime. Everyone else sticks to letters or just communicating in person.
We have machines for collecting and processing data when it comes to different types of construction or information gathering, but you have to be sitting in front of that machine to access any of that, or have a disc with the data recorded for transfer. [So like, a CD.] To have access to a communications network entirely by machines sounds like it would save a ton of time!
[BOLD OF YOU TO ASSUME THAT SENRI KNOWS HOW HISTORY WORKS
but goddamn. senri nods - at least it helps paint a better picture for him. so a place that has CDs, but haven't mastered the wireless stuff yet.]
I don't really know how it all happened - but you're pretty close to it, I think! Maybe if Guy-san can take all the stuff he learns here back with him to his home, then your world get there even faster! You tinker around in here a lot, right? And you seem really interested in this sort of thing... so I'm sure you could do it if you wanted to.

How in the world did you even access it??

His smile drops for just a brief moment, picked up again on the edges of a bittersweet chuckle.]
Ah... damn, you're a flatterer.
Well, I sure hope so, Senri. The least I can do is try, right?
no subject
Mm! I think trying can count for a lot.
Don't you?
