Day 665

Organic technology was advancing society in leaps and bounds. From fridges that scanned your hand and read what nutrition your body needed to headphones that automatically adjusted their volume depending on the angle of your inner ear's hair cells.

Everything seemed possible at first, and in a way it was.

Of course this kind of helpful technology doesn't go for long before someone decides it would be of better use as a weapon. Someone decided that there was a new kind of virus to be made, one that transcended both physical and digital mediums.

The news called is the E-Flu and advised everyone to turn off their computers.

But it wasn't just there, it was in everything. From cleaning appliances to Smart Insulation to pacemakers, everything caught E-Flu and nobody was safe from it. Not even its creators,though they came forward as soon as they became infected too and were promptly forced to release the data coding for their creation.

The deaths rolled in like ocean waves, slowly becoming a tsunami to rival the Black Death.

It started like your average flu only the symptoms got worse the closer you were to any infected device and within a matter of days 67% of global devises potentially carried E-Flu. No matter how many warnings were broadcast or signposts displayed, use of technology only dropped by 23% over the course of a year but by then the death toll was almost 2 million worldwide.

Then, like any virus, it evolved.
