His eyes never saw the spring sunlight bounce of the Adirondack mountains. They never witness the LA riots of 2027 nor did he partake in the looting sprees when New York seceded from the rest of the United States. Yet, Jacob Springer did know how to hog tie a calf, change the oil in his truck, and he knew exactly how many steps it would take to go from his school to his house. 
 He lived in Gregory, New Dakota, a small town known for its hunting, fishing and its reluctance to modernize. Jacob was the most popular and, although he did n't know it, influencer in his small town. He never claimed to start any trends, but the fact remained: his high school peers emulated how he wore his jeans, the way he carried a toothpick in his mouth and how he wore his New Dakota Steers baseball cap. He was a citizen with high moral and ethical standards that made any christian wish they were better. 
 
 When Google brought its internet service to Jacob's town the young crowd lined up for days to purchase Google gadgets. They finally would be able to catch up on the latest celebrity gossip and be connected to the larger part of the world. Jacob, never one to show his excitement over material things, hesitated to use Google's Face Connect device, also known as GFC. 
 
 GFC enabled its users to control any and all of their hardware that required locks. 2027 was the year in which people forgot what it's like to dig for keys in a backpack full of useless papers that they said they might need later. People no longer needed to unlock their computers by typing a password. Car keys became a thing of the past. Every device imaginable came with a small camera that grants access to its owner. Google finally convinced the public that it only wanted to make their life's easier, not track their every step and sell it to advertisers. 
 Jacob, despite his archaic reluctance to accept modern technology bought a GFC device for his truck, due to his girlfriend nagging him to the point of annoyance. He was struck by the ease of installation; all he needed to do was attach it to his car door, press a button and smile for the camera. 
 `` Hello Alan,'' the GFC tablet said. `` Would you like to change my voice?'' 
 Jacob immediately concluded that the GFC called him Jason due to a glitch. He thought nothing of it and requested that the GFC voice be changed to a female with a southern twang. 
 `` Very well Alan, suthern twang it will be darling'' said the GFC. 
 The truck's engine roared up breaking the silence in Jacob's driveway. 
 `` Alan I see that you were in California last week, would you like book another trip there?'' 
 `` My name is Jacob.'' 
 `` Oh very well. Did you recently change your name again?'' 
 `` What are you talking about, `` asked Jacob. 
 `` Is just that this is the 5th time you changed your name this year,'' claimed the GFC, `` is there a particular reason? Do you need another identity dossier?'' 
 `` No I do n't know. I do n't know what you are talking about,'' said Jacob perplexed. 
 
 Later on that evening Jacob decided to use GFC to Google his face. His breathing stop and the world stood still. Jacob saw pictures of him looting a liquor store in New York City. He saw a video of himself street fighting in L.A. There were several photographs of him vacationing in exotic islands alongside beautiful Asian girls that he would have never met in New Dakota. But perhaps the most perplexing was a picture of himself and his girlfriend on top of an Adirondack mountain. Under that photograph was a caption that read, `` My view last week!'' which belonged to username AlanWorld212. 
 
 A sudden fear struck Jacob. The walls were closing in and someone was behind him. He violently jerked his neck to view who it. Nobody in sight. There was cool breeze and an intense gravity held Jacob down to his seat. He knew something, something bad was near. A plume of smoke gradually seeped in through the door. Jacob ran to the window trying to get away. A dark figure silhouetted by the moonlight broke the glass window and grabbed Jacob. The door burst open and three men with gas mask pinned Jacob down to the floor. 
 `` Get down now!'' screamed the commando. `` You were n't suppose find out about it this way, Jacob.'' 
 `` What the hell is going on?'' Screamed Jacob. 
 He was dragged away into the woods of New Dakota, onto a road that no one dared travel due to its rumor of being haunted. Google Inc. did not find any problem placing their headquarters in that phantom part of town. 
 
 Alan Prussky started his drive from New York three days before Jacob's disappearance. As soon as Alan got into town, he received his dossier containing his new passport, identification and a 200 page report on Jacob's mannerism, habits and hobbies. For the past year Alan was learning to become Jacob. Despite the incidents in L.A. and New York, in which he was certain he would face jail time, Google execs in government were able to bail him out. 
 Alan knew that his job of influencing the town to accept all of Google's social connect services would be no easy task; his training with Google's Influencing Agency, prepared him for his first mission. 
 `` In just 1 year we'll have everybody with a Google device at arms reach,'' thought Alan.
