"Aaaand done!" said Twilight Sparkle as she connected the last two wires. She had just built a computer from the human world and she wanted to see what the fuss was about. For the internet, she would use her unicorn magic to send and receive data. And for power a steam engine that AppleJack let her borrow. "Now all we need is an operating system."
"We're not using windows are we?" asked Rainbow Dash.
Rainbow Dash read Twilight's after-action report when Twilight wrote it down when she returned back into the pony world and was not impressed with what the company represented.
"Unfortunately I have to. I wouldn't know how to build one otherwise!" replied Twilight. "eventually I'll make a new operating system that will be based on the ponies themselves but for now I'm just building this one."
"are, you gonna program them to do stuff?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Well yes primarily, but I noticed a lot of humans in the other world with portable computers and they tend to look at it a lot so I built it to learn about it."
"So... You're making a smart computer?" asked Pinkie Pie.
"Yes, I'm making a smart computer!" said Twilight. "It's the first one of Equestria! And pretty soon, all ponies will have them portable so they can have knowledge where ever they go!"
"That sounds awesome!" said Rainbow Dash
"But how are you gonna make it work?" asked Applejack.
"Well for starters I'm going to turn it on," she says starting up the steam generator. The computer began to boot up. It made a loud whirring sound and then a screen appeared."
"HA! IT WORKS!" exclaimed Twilight. She sat down and started using her horn to move the mouse cursor. "Just like the computers in the human world, but now I got to set up wifi!" she started typing away. "... So I guess I should name this..." she thought for a second. "I know! Call it 'Twilight'."
"Why not call it 'Rainbow Dash'?" asked Fluttershy.
"Cause it's the name of my favorite pony!" replied Twilight with a cheesy smile.
"What if someone else wants to use it?"
"Well of course ill let you all use it, but it just needs some programs on it and then it will be ready. I will make the first test then you guys can go and take turns on it. Ok?"
"Ok!" said Rainbow Dash.
"Ok!" said Fluttershy.
"Okay okay okay..." said Pinkie Pie.
After a few minutes of testing the system, the rest of the group came into the room to see what was going on.
"Hey guys!" said Twilight "look at this!" she pointed to the monitor. A small image of a rainbow appeared on the screen.
"Oh cool!" said Applejack "so it's doing something already!"
"Apparently it's called "YouTube? And this human found a double rainbow"
"AWSOME!!" exclaimed Rainbow Dash "but why is it showing human stuff?"
"All the content is based on the human tech, not ponies magic, there is not a single pony piece of content on there. And you guys are going to help me make the first one."
She revealed a circular device with a wire connected "this is called a camera" she began "it stores motion data into the computer in a savable format." she continued.
"Cool!" said Applejack
"Wait, what do you mean by 'uploaded'? Like, put it in a computer?" asked Rainbow Dash
"Yeah," replied Twilight. "The computer is going to be able to store the information and display it on the screen. We will be able to watch anything we want on this screen"
"That's really cool!" said Pinkie Pie.
"Ooh," said Rarity. "Do you think you could make me look good on the screen?"
"Um no, it's not that kind of camera, silly" answered Twilight. "Ok I'm starting," said Twilight turning on the record. "Hello every pony?" twilight questioned, "does this work?"
She pressed stop and played it. The screen was filled with a purple pony saying "hello every pony, does this work?"
"Ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh ohmygosh " Rainbow Dash clamored.
"Wow thats amazing!" exclaimed Fluttershy.
"Oh yeah," said Applejack.
"It's like having a portal to the human world!" said Pinkie Pie.
"Maybe we should start uploading our own videos" suggested Rainbow Dash.
"Well I'm glad you like it!" said Twilight excitedly. "But there's more! I'm also going to make the computer understand English! So you can talk to it."
"How?" asked Rainbow Dash
"Like I am talking to you right now," she said looking at the others "when I speak to the computer it will understand everything I say"
"Wow that would be so cool!" exclaimed Fluttershy.
"But thats in the near future when it's my turn again... But in the meantime, who wants to go first?" asked Twilight.
