(In Firgin's house, 1 year later)

"You just had to didn't you?" Ai said.

We are currently in Firgin's meeting room, discussing what will happen in the future.

Ai continued her rant. "I don't you to be careful, I told you it would be dangerous, but did you listen? No!" 

"Well Ai, it's either that or them making their own decisions which would be probably worse than what we have now. Besides, is it really that bad? We brought the 21st century in this planet!" I replied.

Firgin asked, "Just to clarify, you say that you come from a different planet, died and get resurrected here? Unbelievable!"

Yep. The ships that you have here come from our planet, seven thousand or perhaps eight thousand years ago, according to the mechanical robots. You know those artifical humanoid things." I replied. "We are technically your ancestors."

"Amazing. No wonder your both weird hahaha!" Mlei said.

"Not bad? You brought the 21st century and the problem that it would bring. Things are changing at a rapid pace, it's like 2024 again. You know the AI race? What happened after that? Robots. Then there's automated AI robot wars. Then nuclear war!" Ai shouted.

"Relax Ai, they wouldn't have nuclear wars, Steve and Shiela didn't teach them about it. The most that they would have is a fist fight in the street." 

"What if some crazy rich guy decides to use the technology that they have now for war! Don't you remember history? Gunpowder was used for fireworks in China, and later it was used to make guns. Spears were used for hunting, then later it was used to hunt others." Ai replied.

"Steve and Shiela" was able to make movies about the dangers of using technology for evil as well as what to do if people try using them for war. They got this covered."

"I hope your right Fei, otherwise we will be having a short reincarnation." Ai said.

"So, what's happening right now?" I asked.

"Currently, the 3 blocs are racing who could have the best technology in no time. Currently, the one leading is the communist team. They have now just integrated circuits and their first computer. Steve and Shiela makes a movie providing hints on how to develop a technology, then the communists try applying these theories into reality. The first time they were able to realize that the movies science fiction that they were watching is based on real sciences that can be applied in the real world. People have a suspicion that the kids are not of this world and some, even saying that the kids are from the divine."

"The other artificial kids are popping up in other cities as well, and doing who knows what theyre doing. We need to check on them if we can in the future."

"Well, we now have cars, tv's, motorcycles. The communists have a cellphone now. Unbelievable. The capitalist bloc has TFC, and McConnells food chain scattered all over their bloc. They converted a forest into a farmland for chickens. There are now animal protesters in the streets and they're threatening to destroy these food chains. I fear that something is going to go wrong one way or another." Ai said.

"People are also getting hurt trying to replicate what they saw in the movies, hoping to get the intellectual property rights of these creations, Ameterasu above." Ai continued.

"Well, to make an omelette, you have to break some eggs. This is progress, this is how it should be."

"Mark my words Fei, some sociopath with money will try to exploit these technology that you have given them. Let's just hope that technology doesn't go fast enough that they would develop weapons of mass destruction for their own sake." Mai replied.

"There have been reports of new creatures appearing in different remote places. Good thing that the robot twins was able to make movies about Bigfoot, the Sasquatch, Dragons, dinosaurs and and aliens. It seems that the other kids are now trying to create creatures from fantasy. They say this would provide entertainment to the people of this world. We need not worry they said, as these creatures have been programmed to avoid killing and hurting humans. As long as they don't try killing these creatures, the people would be safe. They're like tourist attractions or a zoo. They're trying to experiment if they can create spacefaring creatures in games, like the ones in Space Troopers, Space wars, Starbattle."

"Do you know the implications of this? If they become successful, they would most likely terraform planets all around this galaxy!" Mai replied. "What if there are other humanoids living in other planets?" 

"Oh, don't worry, most of the tv movies here have been converted to family friendly stories, "All the killings, genocides, mass murders, tortures in movies have been removed and the stories are converted usually to just martial arts and kendo fighting and using incapacitating long range weapons and the ending is always a happy ending with enemies becoming friends. The kids made this so that people would realize that wars are pointless so that they would make peace with one another."

"Okay, now that these things are settled, do you have any questions and clarifications Firgin and Mlei?"

"We have lots of questions. Lots." Firgin said.

We spend the whole day discussing morality, philosophy, ethics and religion. The children should not have introduced these things to the people here.

I hope that what Mai said wouldn't come true. That people here would unite for a common goal to make it better. Sure, there have been 3 factions created here but according to the children, they did this to know which system would be best for the future. The communists seems to be getting the upper hand here. The socialists are knee deep in bureaucracy that they can't decide what to do. The capitalists are busy competing with each other, making a lot of things that most people can't afford. Of all the three, they have created a lot of things, but not of the same quality of what the socialists and communists have. They create something, some other company would create something and this would repeat until they need to upgrade or make a new technology so that they can get ahead of their competitors. It's like 2 bakeries with the same bread. Each one of them will add a topping one at a time. Trying to out taste the other. It's pretty exhausting really, every month they have a new better version of something. Like Macrosoft creating Aperture 95 to Aperture 999. Pretty exhausting. Well, as long as they are making progress I suppose.
