The Latest Tech

While the tech conference was a who’s who of the most cutting edge companies showcasing the latest devices with flashy branding, the talk soon focused on two booths set up in the middle of the room. There no names or logo on them, and no representative was nearby to explain them. Many people passing by thought they might just be a place to take a break, yet very few were willing to sit in them “just in case” they were for some sort of presentation..

Finally, after several hours, Angela decided to sit down in one of the booths. She had been on her feet since 8AM demonstrating her company’s latest AI to a bunch of guys who had more interest in checking out her body than the software she was displaying. She just needed a break from standing in her heels for a minute, and the booth’s seats were so close.

Meanwhile, Josh had just arrived at the conference after a three hour meeting where he found out he had lost out on a five million dollar deal for the cybersecurity company where he worked in sales. He wasn’t even considering how and why these things were in the middleof the conference floor. He just sat down.

And then strange things happened. The two booths lit up. It was just a glow at first, then it was a flash. The next thing Josh noticed was that he now was wearing a short skirt with bare legs and heels. He was someone else; a woman, in fact! But more importantly, he felt like he escaped from his failure.

At the same time, while Angela certainly wasn’t happy about how she was treated as a woman in tech, but turning into a guy? She was horrified! This had to be a bad dream or some sort of virtual reality, right? It couldn’t actually be real...could it?
