Twilight quickly scanned the room to see whose turn it was next. but then spotted a familiar face.
"Luna!" shouted Twilight.
Luna had just entered the room looking very pleased with herself.
"Hello Twilight," said Luna.
"Hi, Luna. Are you interested in testing out this thing called a computer?" asked Twilight.
"Whatever I can do to assist thou," said Luna.
"Have you ever heard of the internet?" asked Twilight.
"Thou hast confused me," said Luna.
"Well then, let's get started at the beginning, this is a computer," said Twilight.
"How doth it work?" asked Luna.
"Well, computers use binary code to send information back and forth," said Twilight.
"'binary code?' praytell what such a thing is," asked Luna.
"Basically it's a language used to communicate over a network," said Twilight. "It's called wifi, and we can use it to create memories or learn about stuff in the human world"
"Oh dear, how does one go about learning such things?" asked Luna.
"Well, you can find courses online, or you can read books if you prefer," said Twilight.
"Take no offense my dear Twilight Sparkle but I doth believe my age hast taught me many things, I highly doubt I will learn anything."
But it will teach you about the human world!"
"Thou hast has spoken truly of this one thing I knowest nothing except a thing called a 'faculty lot'. Ive learned the ways of magic and the ways of life itself," said Luna.
"Well, I am sure that is true Luna, but you should always try new things and expand your horizons," said Twilight.
"Very well my dear, I shall do as thou asks of me," said Luna.
"Great, now let's get started. Go ahead and ask me a question like I'm a human," said Twilight.
"What is the meaning of life?" asked Luna.
"Uh... Maybe something a little less thought-provoking... Try to be casual." said Twilight.
"What... Is your... Favorite... Math... Equation?" asked Luna.
"There you go!" exclaimed Twilight as she type the question into the computer.
The computer responded by showing the most popular math equation "The Pythagorean theorem is currently trending."
"Thus it is for humanity in the current age correct?" asked Luna.
"Yes, it is for all humans right now," said Twilight.
"What is thus the picture of a pyramid shape made of stone?"
Twilight clicked on it and the computer responded. "The pyramids are man-made structures built around 3000 BC in Egypt. They were built by slaves who worked under the command of Pharaoh Khufu. The pyramids contained tombs for pharaohs and their wives"
"Ist humanity thusly so cruel? Are the current man-made structures built by slaves today?" asked Luna.
Twilight typed the query into the computer. "Slavery is illegal and has been since the 1800s. But people still have to work hard to get ahead in society. That is why people need to study hard to get into good schools and colleges. Then they can get a good job and build a better life for themselves."
"I see, how doth thou measure time?" asked Luna.
"Time is measured in years, months, weeks, days, hours, minutes, seconds, and milliseconds." said the computer screen " years are measured by the number of earth rotations around the sun, months are measured by the number of days in the month, weeks are measured by the number of days in the week, days are measured by the length of the day, hours are measured by the length of the night, minutes are measured by the length of the hour, seconds are measured by the length of the minute, and milliseconds are measured by the length of a thousandth of a second."
"That is indeed a complex system humanity hast created." said Luna "we only hast ever calculated by the amount of moon rises"
"So, what do you want to know next?" asked Twilight.
"Ask it what the current day is," said Luna.
"It is $curTime." said the computer.
"An amazing piece of knowledge you have built Twilight you are commended!"
"Don't thank me, thank humanity, it's how I built it in the first place," said Twilight.
"I shall endeavor to remember this great feat of yours, oh yes, tell me what the weather is like outside," said Luna.
"It's sunny and 75 degrees outside." said the computer.
"Ah, another form of measurement that must be from the human world. Could you ask it what that means?" asked Luna.
"Weather is a measure of temperature and humidity. It also tells us whether there will be rain or snow." said the computer.
"Degrees are the measurement of the heat index, which is the combination of air temperature and relative humidity. The higher the temperature, the more moisture in the air. And the lower the humidity, the drier the air."
"Why must humanity create complex structures of measurement? They can just say it's cold or warm outside," asked Luna.
"Because if you say it's hot, then some people will think it's too hot for them to go out. If you say it's cold, then others will think it's too cold for them to go out. So, people don't talk about the weather because it makes everyone mad." said Twilight.
"I stand corrected Twilight Sparkle, I indeed have learned something new."
Twilight giggles.
"Now, I would love to continue our conversation but I fear it is getting late, the dream world calls me," said Luna. "I shall return here in the hope of learning about humanity."
"Good luck, I'll keep working on the project," said Twilight.
And she waved goodbye as Luna flew away into the sunset hues.
