[ WP ] Aliens have just made contact with Earth . Strangely enough , it seems that human technology is superior .

“ Weellll, I ’ ll be durned! ” One of them shouted. The tall, lanky alien snapped the phone out of my hand, peering at it closely. He had a thick accent that could best be compared to that of a stereotypical TV redneck. “ Gerog come look at this here thing-a-ma-whatsit the human has! ” Gerog hopped down from his spacecraft to join us. “ This is a talking box! You can talk to other humans on it, like telepathy or some witchcraft! ”

 The aliens had landed only a few days ago, hordes of them coming to Earth. Everyone had panicked, the world had been thrown into panic for the first day or so. But then, the first ambassador from their planet stepped out and our fears ceased. It seemed these extraterrestrial invaders weren ’ t here to conquer us at all. 
 
 None of us could figure out how they ’ d even made it to Earth, honestly. Space travel seemed to be the only technology they ’ d developed.

 “ Gerog! ” The lanky grey called out. I ’ d learned since that his name was Bernug. “ Look at this shiny whatsit over here! ” They crowded tight around my laptop. “ What ’ s this? ” He pointed a thin finger with a bulbous tip at the screen.

 “ That ’ s Google, ” I sighed. It was getting annoying explaining everything to them. Like imagine if your great, great ancestors were suddenly dropped into this time period and you had to teach them about the world. That was exactly like this. “ With Google, I can basically look up anything. ”

 “ Holy jeepers! It ’ s a magic box with knowledge in it! It knows everything! How has it not taken over your planet?! ” Gerog screeched as he leaped backwards nearly a foot. I rolled my eyes. 
 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 
 “ It ’ s just a computer. It doesn ’ t have will or thoughts or life or the ability to mobilize itself. It ’ s just basically like a book, storing information. ” 
 
 
 & nbsp; 
 
 
 “ Well I ’ ll be darned. ” Gerog muttered. “ We ’ ve sure got lots to learn from y ’ all. We ’ ll have to stick around a couple months or more to learn all this! I ’ ll go let the boss-man know we ain ’ t goin ’ to be back for a while. We ’ ll live with you and learn about all your tack-naw-leeg. ” He darted outside to radio up to the remaining orbiting ships. 
 
 
 I groaned and flopped onto the couch as Bernug pointed out yet another fascinating device, the toaster. It was going to be a damn long couple of months…
