Technology

The nuclear bombing halted technology for a short time, but afterwards caused it to boom from the human race's will to survive. This page will be expanded as new tech is added.

Home
Now, in 2120, most homes are completely automated and respond to voice activation. In richer areas, people use eye scanners to gain access to their homes. Other areas still use a fingerprint scanner. Homes are also equipped with mirrors that can scan an individual and check their vitals and overall health. The mirrors will show a person's oxygen levels, heartbeat per minute, and blood pressure while also pointing out skin blemishes, dehydration, dark circles under the eyes, lack of sleep, and more. If it suspects anything of concern, a

recommendation will pop up, whether that be a doctor's visit or a lifestyle change to make the individual healthier. The mirror can also activate a 9-1-1 call should it sense oxygen levels or heart rate dropping, but it must be able to sense facial recognition in order to do so.Newer, fancier machines now exist in the homes of those who can afford them. Depending on the machine, it can fold your laundry, prepare a meal, sweep the home, or other things considered to be mundane household tasks. Older models exist in older homes, but beware of experiencing a glitch here and there. Homes are equipped with security measures. The home can scan people for weapons at the door or gauge someone's hostility based on physiological responses.

Communication & Identification
The newest, hottest way to use social media or communicate are the eye implants, which projects a hologram only you can see. These implants can make calls, search the internet, post to social media, and stream music. When activated, the eye implants will give off a glow, so there's no hiding your use of it while on the job or driving. The eye implants are not only a phone, but it stores most of a person's personal information: identification, credit cards, bank accounts, social media accounts, access to their homes and apartments, and much more. It can be used to make payments as all transactions are now digitized. The drawback to the eye implant are the ads. Businesses have learned to project holographic ads to the implants, causing an individual to see them throughout the city. Sometimes it can be like annoying pop ups and be overwhelming, especially if you happen to be high or drunk. Someone tech-savvy can ad block the eye implants, or a subscription fee can be paid for the option to turn them off.

There is a special implant that's mandatory issues to Implementors that can scan a person's identification. It can also scan an Abnormal's chip. It is optional for other law enforcement, but highly favored among them. These implants do not receive advertisements.

For those who can't afford the eye implants, there's the ever faithful wrist watch device. This device is registered to everyone at the time they're born and is incredibly difficult to replace if broken or stolen. The implants can be used as a replacement to the wrist device. When activated, a hologram pops up that will display web pages, video calls, IMs, receipts, or whatever else is requested. These holograms are visible to other people, unlike the eye implants. These holograms can be seen by others. The upside? No ads following you everywhere!

Abnormal's Chips
All Abnormals are injected with a chip that goes behind the ear. This chip keeps track of them. Some even believe it tracks their exact location. This chip can also be scanned and provides detailed information about the Abnormal, including criminal history and assets.The chip will set off a signal should it be removed or altered that alerts Implementors. Tampering and removal of these chips is a federal crime punishable by death.Still, this hasn't stopped people with tech skill from trying.

Transportation
Everything in the city is powered by some form of renewable resource, whether by wind, sun, or otherwise. The wind farms for Du Pont lay outside the dome city in radiated land.

Personal Use
Personal vehicles are a rarity as most people use public transportation. Personal vehicles either hover or still use tires. They are incapable of hovering more than a few feet off the ground. Hover vehicles can be automated or driven by an individual. Cars with tires are considered antique.

Public Transportation
Newer, sleeker buses and trains that run off solar power dominate the streets. All of the vehicles are automated and monitored via a digital road map. This is the most common form of transportation.Du Pont does not have a subway. All public transportation vehicles use hover technology, but like personal use cannot hover more than a few feet off the ground.

Law Enforcement
Law Enforcement personnel have the only vehicles that will actually fly. It gives them ease of access to many areas and helps them avoid traffic. These vehicles are built more like small ships than cars. These vehicles are armed with guns, but also less fatal alternatives in order to capture rather than kill. Law Enforcement personnel can also use remote-access controlled vehicles to track a perpetrator, or incapacitate him.

Medical
Medically, the use of nano technology is a budding field. Treatments for radiation and radiation tolerance have been available since shortly after the bombing, causing many people to be capable of existing outside the dome in recent years. Radiation tolerance therapy is still very pricey and many people have built tolerance through generations. Scientists are able to grow completely functional organs for transplants, and free, mandatory vaccination has helped eliminate age-old illnesses such as small pox and polio.

Testing for Abnormals is still a growing science. All individuals are tested at birth, but the initial test is proven to provide false or null results at high rates. Being tested after puberty increases the chances of an accurate reading by 70%. Abnormals are chipped upon their registration. This chip provides identification and background information, including criminal record, their type, and their classification. It's rumored some chips have been used as a tracking device in the past. Tampering and removal of these chips is a federal crime punishable by death.
