[ WP ] Everyone on the planet has a device which allows them to communicate mind-to-mind . You wake up one morning with administrator privileges .

*Good night, honey. * 
 
 *Good night, mom. * 
 
 I climbed into bed, excited for school tomorrow. We were going to do our reports on the Feed for everyone in the school, and my group had been picked to represent the school in the state competition. My mom said it was the `` opportunity of my high-school career,'' or whatever. I fantasized for a few moments about how I would grow up to be rich and famous, like the inventor of the Feed, Alexei Samsa. He was my hero, and my entire school life I had been analyzing the Feed, the mental link, and trying to improve it and make it better. I drifted off that night hopeful, but not prepared at all for what would come next. 
 
 *INFO: Alarm. Wake up now, Tom. * 
 
 My Feed blared my alarm into my mind, and I was awake and alert within seconds, flipping the switch under my earlobe to turn it off. I stretched and got out of bed, getting changed and washing up, the usual. It was when I clicked into my Feed to check where I had left my phone that I realized something was amiss. The entire tone of the software was completely different. I had been studying the Feed for a while now, and I knew how it worked. Countless options in my Find Menu were open when they had previously not existed. I booted up the Internal Settings to check my version, maybe there had been a WireDate ( an update ). overnight. What I found was astonishing. Under my registration, it listed me as: 
 
 `` Thomas Gilmore- ADMINISTRATOR, CODE 7 ACCESS- REF. # 90767743'' 
 
 Wide-eyed and disbelieving, I suddenly realized what had just happened. This was something most could only dream of achieving, and it happened to me overnight. I had full administrative access over the FeedNet, the network that extended over the entire world of Feed access. Unrestricted, uncanned. Forgetting about my report, I sat my teenage body down on the bed and simply explored. The Holo popped up in my face, and it looked like this: 
 
 Welcome, ADMIN9. < REVIEW PROFILE > 
 
 Would you like to: 
 
 -Add to or modify administrative data 
 
 -Go to the Action Center 
 
 -Add a WireDate to the software 
 
 -View source code 
 
 -Use Feed as normal 
 
 I pushed through to the Action Center, and saw a big red button on the holo with the phrase `` Initiate cascade failure among local network transmitters WARNING: THIS WILL BRING THE FEED OFFLINE WORLDWIDE. ADMINISTRATOR APPROVAL REQUIRED.'' 
 
 I pushed it. 
 
 `` Since humanity had become so dependent on these devices ( everyone in the world had one ), every piece of information had been migrated from the Old Internet to the NewsFall, the information center of the Feed. Plus, almost every electrical appliance and power line was tied to the Feed generators, which pulled extra electrical energy from humanity's unused sections of the brain which had a lot of spare power. As such, a deactivation would have caused a regress to the middle ages and beyond as people lost their source of every non-local stimulus. Humanity would have to rebuild, it would be as if every machine on the planet suddenly stopped working.''
