Steven is a very successful man around Jetsonia. He is looked up as a role model and as a model digital citizen whom others strive to be like. The reason for his success is very simple. Steven, who came to Jetsonia as a 24 year old man, strived to increase his digital literacy as quickly as possible. Although he came from the old world, he did not let that bother him.
The first thing he did was learn the rules. He loved how hacking was forbidenn in Jetsonia, since he lost all of his important files in the old world due to a hacker that caused him to be fired from his job. At first, he was not use to the futuristic technology that was at his fingertips. There was a bit of a digital divide for him. But because of his persistence, and his willingness to learn his digital literacy flourished.
He used his communicatin skills with others around him to help interpret our technology and soon became a program for our society. Now, Steven is one of the head executives in charge of improving our technology everyday. It goes to show all Jetsonians that a little hard work goes a long way.

Day 3
Jack is a computer programmer for JetMac this is a highly important job in Jetsonia. Because of the strict rules regarding hacking and viruses in Jetsonia Jack is considered highly trusted because of his job. His skills could be used for evil quite easily and then Jack would be sent to Flintstonia.
JetMac is one of the biggest suppliers of computer electronics and hardware in Jetsonia. Without it Jetsonia would not have half the computer power it has today. Today Jack is working on a new piece of technology that could change Jetsonia forever. He has designed a program that will allow a person to physically enter the computer world. This program could put a person's mind in a computer representation avatar. This digital utopia could be real one day.

The Futuristic Homes of Jetsonians - Blog Entry #3
Once stepping onto his doorstop, John would need to confirm his voice with the H.U.D.S. (Home Universal Digital Software) system configured throughout his home. Much like the R.U.D.I. (Referential Universal Digital Indexer) found at the workplace, this system is the mainframe core of every home, controlling all digital pieces of equipment. If the H.U.D.S. system isn't fully operational not only is 85% of your home not going to work, but homeowners will be locked outside of their home. Non-Technolgians look to practice digital vandalism, by altering these homes by the means of hacking. Their purpose to influence Jetsonians to become followers of their teachings, rather than committing random crimes of burglary.

Proclamation Statement Revision Pt. 3
The reasons for creating the digital utopia of Jetsonia are simple. Due to the continuous criminal activity that took place in the old digital society, we the proud people of Jetsonia, refuse to tolerate the despicable amount of those who retaliate and try to give technology a bad name. These people are known as Non-Technologicans, a organization that consists of individuals who are against any use of technology in the digital society. One might compare them to the Amish of today because of their desire to live by outdated principles.
After a period of time when citizens protested against paying for Technology Care (a package covers all sorts of technological uses), they soon began researching forbidden texts so that they could prove how a society can still function properly without the needs of technology. With their plans failing miserably, their best motive then was to become hackers, by stealing information, money, ideals, and confidentiality from citizens all around the technological industry. This later spun-off all sorts websites on the Internet displaying inappropriate images like underage pornography and other unorthodox materials. Seemingly, as they appear as a threat, our mission is to stop these terminals (another word for technological criminals) from disrupting order and tracking them with the OmniTron 5.0.
When triminals are in custody of the Jetsonia local police, Miranda Rights are never read to lose who violate these terms. Any offender who tries to break one of the many digital laws that have been implemented will be severely punished and kicked out of our utopia. They will be exiled to Flintstonia, a non-utopian society where digital citizenship does not exist. With there being no technology, survival is difficult due to the harsh environment conditions with prehistoric creatures. We make it clear that no one is given a second chance if found guilty, therefore, they will be on own, being forced to leave behind the Jetsonia lifestyle for Flintstonian.
Our society acknowledges that we accomplish all of our goals by any digital means necessary. We don’t tolerate the indignity that viruses bring when invaded into our planetary network systems. Not only have we secured the right for free internet searching, but we provide a wireless universe where people will be able to enjoy the advantages of interacting, researching, and managing finances. Our government of Empathions and Logicians will guarantee fairness to everyone in the utopia.
We plan on expanding our technology on a day to day basis by allowing the future unite us all, as our motto states.

Letter of Invitation to an Employer
Dear Dr. Donald Jacobson,
Based on our researched findings of philosophers on Earth, you and a few selectedothers fit the needed criteria of those we are looking to have work in Jetsonia.You may be thinking “what is Jetsonia?”
Jetsonia is a digital utopian society that thrives solely off technology so that all mankind can intellectually advance. Currently, we are developing a new district section of Jetsonia called Quagmiro, and we would like to invite you to become part of our new political council. Our environment is the perfect setting for assembling a diverse talented team of philosophers because like your business, we are serious about unifying people and not tolerating any forms of discrimination whether it be by gender, race, religion, or sexual orientation.
We are always looking to expand our ideology by looking for greater goals and expectations for our citizens. We try and focus on the present, but more importantly the future so that previous mistakes made in the past don’t reoccur. By now, you are probably asking yourself “how does this work?”
Jetsonian law requires that citizens abide by the laws stated within our rules and regulations of technology. By embracing technology and following these set of given laws, citizens will never fall into the evils that have succumbed to past civilizations.With most texts removed from schools, we want children to learn to cherish their personal computer, and the Internet, but study only what relates to keeping our society as a utopia.
With you on the board, you will be one of many moderators who will watch over the Internet to make sure that there are no forms of possible corruption in communication online. For example, you must make sure that all Jetsonians pay for Technology Care (a program set up similar to U.S. Health Care), you must track Internet users to see if they are identifiable, make sure that items are being legally exchanged (whether bought or traded), check to see that all content is safe for a age group to visit (otherwise, change you the settings), and prevent viruses from attacking our information systems. By joining the Quagmiro council, your group will consist of the few who understand Earthly histories. All Earthlings who decide to make the transition over to Jetsonia must be tested on in order to take up an entirely new career or something somewhat close to what they had before. We have also adapted to using erasing modulator devices that removes any sort of negative memories from your brain, but also anything that relates to historical moments that have happened on Earth or any laws governed by a country (in any continent).
You and new philosophical colleagues will be able to keep all your education so that your experience on Earth will prevent others from ever becoming any sort of threat to our utopia. The reason why we go about this treatment is so that criminal acts such as violence are so unheard of that people don’t even understand the word. Jetsonians appear to be so impaired that in order to fully conceive its meaning, they must be learning it on a digital computer screen. This word, along with rape, assault, or murder are words that have higher censoring means than of curse words in several Earth languages.
If you wish to reject our invitation, we are also giving your selected group an option to become an ordinary citizen of Jetsonia. If you were to choose this, you will have a 30-day period to decide (again) whether to reconsider being part of the council or you will have to have a erasing modulator tested on your brain. You have of course the option to not consider either, but you should first realize how much better Jetsonian lifestyle is. Everyday you will be working side by side with robots, have faster transportation (In and outside the office), provide your employees with equipment that will help their handicapped disabilities (that is, if they are blind or deaf) and receive vital information in real-time lighting speeds.
You are looking at a chance of a lifetime to explore a unique life in another galaxy and learn about how one can operate a most desirable lifestyle. A place where one should not have to worry about how much money they are making, when all essentials needed to live are free except for Technology Care. Please take your time with your unanimous decision.
Cordially,
Adam Moody (Logician)

Day 2 in Jetsonia Arrival Day
Jack was a new recruit to Jetsonia. His first day he was not quite sure what to do with himself, but the government had already planned an orientation for him. Jack went to this orientation, and he was very glad that he did. Not only did Jack learn the do's and do not's from his orientation director, but he also learned how to use the search engine.
The do's and do not's were very simple. Do not hack into other people's computers. Do not put viruses on the internet. Those were the top rules otherwise you would be sent to Flintstonia. Flintstonia was a desolate world with prehistoric creatures there is no technology and everything must be done by primitive tools.
The search engine was something else entirely it was set up so you look up exactly what you want. Instead of just typing what you want to look up the search engine actually links of with your brain. You type a word in and then amazingly the computer reads your brain on exactly what information you want. You can unplug the neural cord and it will do a general search if you are in the mood to come upon something unexpected.
Jack used this search as soon as he got home for tigers. He immediately got pictures of tigers and specifications for body weight and etc.

Geography: Where are We?
We have decided to set up out society in Space. Only a few light years away from our Earth, Jetsonia is situates in the "final frontier". By living up in Space, we have opened doors to further study of the vast darkness we now call home. While at Earth people try to live "green", we believe in exploration and learning. We live comfortably in our "bubble". Our digital citizenship helps us to understand our way of life. We rely on the internet, since we learn and teach through it. Although there are many people who embrace our way of life, there are still the small few who try to hold on to life on Earth. Earth-borns try to live a "grounded" way of living. We have a lot of respect for those who grew up on Earth, which is why they are welcomed with open arms to try and adapt to the new way of the future.
Here is an excerpt of a blog written by a young Jetsonian who will remain annonymous:
Is anyone out there? I know you are, you read me every day. I can't say that I miss Earth, since I've never been there. Mom still talks about it, she was Earth-born. Every night when I gaze into space, I wonder how we got here. Technology has raced so quickly that a light year seems like nothing. Daddy decided to go on to explore what could possibly be an extension of one of our colonies. All he needs to find is water and he could design a new place to live.
Mom says I'm growing too quickly, I'm going to need new Moon Boots for our next vacation. I hate hand-me-downs. I think hand-me-downs are too Earthly. All my other friends get new clothes the same day through online shopping. I get my sister's used clothes.
