Writing Prompt: Computer Lockout
Friday, January 15th, 2010
Viruses and headaches and website crashes oh my!
Just when things seemed to be going good, I found myself locked out of the Daily Writing Prompt and unable to get the site to load for days. My writing companion could see it, but I could not. I still have no idea what happened, but it makes one think of computers taking control. So, the prompt for January 15th is computer lockout.
What would the consequences be if your hero could not access a particular program when they had to? What if they had to get to a certain online location and were unable to due to some unknown computer error? What might have caused the error?
My first thought is someone trying to access a site that has taken on artificial intelligence and the computer the hero uses keeps getting redirected away from being able to access the site so that he can not shut it down.
