[edit] Plot

Kids’ Radio presents another too-fun-to-call-it-freaky episode of "The Twilife Zone!" Narrator John Avery Whittaker introduces Joey Patrick, "an average boy in an average town"...until one day everything changes.

Concerned about his slow learning curve, Joey’s parents buy him the world’s first "bio-circuitry-enhanced learning machine." It’s a truly impressive computer, able to help Joey finish papers and do school research faster than ever before. Soon he makes it onto the Honor Roll; but he ignores his friends and misses their foursquare games. "Hallie"-–the name Joey gives the machine–-becomes his only companion.

Truly strange things begin to happen. Joey talks in the cyber-like speech he learned from "Hallie," while "she" sounds more human! Even Joey’s mom cannot get through to him. Yet when "Hallie" goes one step too far, Joey finally sees how much control he has given "her." He unplugs the computer and goes back to the playground...but is it too late?

[edit] Discussion Questions

1. Was it good that Joey’s computer was so fast and cool? Why or why not?
2. What is idolatry? How did Joey "idolize" his computer?
3. Have you ever lost time with your friends because of playing video games or doing other things by yourself?
